Kadyrov decided to award the surviving flight attendants of the Azerbaijani Embraer 190 airliner
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has decided to award the surviving crew members of the Embraer E190 passenger plane of Azerbaijan Airlines, which crashed during the Baku-Grozny flight in December last year. He wrote about this on his Telegram channel.
Flight attendants Zulfugar Asadov and Aidan Ragimli, "who demonstrated exceptional courage and high professionalism," will be awarded the "For Services to the Chechen Republic" award. In addition, a memorial plaque is planned to be installed in Grozny in memory of the victims of the plane crash.
"Once again, on behalf of all residents of the Chechen Republic, I express my deep condolences to the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, as well as the families and loved ones of the victims. This tragedy has become our common pain. We sincerely share the grief of the brotherly Azerbaijani people and pray for the souls of the victims,” the publication says.
Recall that on December 25 last year, the Azerbaijani passenger airliner Embraer 190, flying from Baku to Grozny, crashed near the Kazakh city of Aktau. It is known that there were 67 people on board, of which 42 were citizens of Azerbaijan, 16 were Russian, 6 were Kazakh and 3 were Kyrgyz. 29 passengers survived.
In early February, the Reuters news agency, citing sources in the Azerbaijani government, reported that Baku had evidence of the downing of the Embraer airliner by the Russian Pantsir air defense system, namely, a fragment of a missile. Soon after, it became known that the Azerbaijani authorities intended to file a lawsuit in an international court over the air crash.
