Putin fears losing another important allyJournalists point out that in the quarter century that Putin has been in power, he has almost never officially apologized for anything.However, the situation with Russias shooting down of an Azerbaijani plane has driven the dictator into a dead end.Despite the fact that he still has not admitted Russias guilt in this tragedy, he nevertheless asked Aliyev for forgiveness.In fact, Putin realized that the Russian lie about the birds allegedly causing the disaster would not convince his colleague.
The Azerbaijani president is demanding that Russia take responsibility.
Aliyev is not going to be humiliated, because Azerbaijan is the most important partner in laundering Russian gas, which he buys and exports to Europe as his own.
Against this background, in order not to lose an important ally, Putin decided to fulfill some of Aliyevs conditions, primarily regarding an official apology.Despite this, journalists warn, the Russian dictator will still try to shift all the blame onto Ukraine, which was in no way involved in the disaster.Azerbaijani authorities have named the preliminary cause of the plane crashAzerbaijan Airlines and Azerbaijans Minister of Digital Development and Transport Rashad Nabiyev have called external influence the preliminary cause of the plane crash in Kazakhstan.According to the injured passengers and flight attendants, they heard the sounds of explosions as the plane flew over Grozny.In addition, it is indicated that traces of holes were found on the wing, and inside the fuselage damage from various cutting objects.Ilham Aliyev himself emphasized that the indicated damage affected the aircrafts controllability.What is also important to understand is that the tail section of the plane was severely damaged by shelling from the ground.
It is surprising and saddening that Russian officials are trying to cover up the situation by putting forward versions of a gas cylinder explosion.
Such behavior only complicates the situation and does not contribute to establishing the truth.
