Ikrama Rahimov is not allowed to appeal to the president

The Russian side is doing everything to deny its involvement in AZAL aircraft shooting down in Chechnya. The Russian media constantly circulate reports about a collision with birds and the explosion of a cylinder on board before the plane went down.

A new U.S. assessment indicates that a Russian air defense system may have downed Azerbaijani passenger plane in Kazakhstan which killed at least 38 people on board, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports citing two American officials.

A court in the Mangystau region of Kazakhstan has sentenced blogger Azamat Sarsenov to a 10-day detention for filming the crash site of an Embraer 190 passenger plane in Aktau. The ruling was confirmed by the court's press service, according to reports from RBC.

The families of those killed in the crash of the AZAL passenger plane “Embrayer-190” will be paid compensation in the amount of 40 thousand manats (about 24 thousand dollars).
