CNN —Azerbaijan Airlines says the jet that crashed in Kazakhstan on Christmas Day experienced “physical and technical external interference,” according to an early investigation, as questions swirled about Russia’s possible involvement in the disaster. People from Azerbaijan, Russia, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan were among those on board, according to preliminary data from Kazakhstan’s transport ministry. Reuters also reported that the plane was downed by a Russian air defense system, citing multiple unnamed sources in Azerbaijan with knowledge of the investigation. Its Federal Air Transport Agency also previously said the plane crashed after colliding with birds. As investigations continue, Azerbaijan Airlines has suspended flights from the Azerbaijani capital Baku to seven cities in Russia for safety reasons, it said.

CNN —Azerbaijan held a day of mourning on Thursday for the dozens of victims of an airliner crash in Kazakhstan, as questions were being asked over the cause of the disaster. Officials from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Russia, three countries linked to the disaster, urged people not to speculate about the crash until investigations have concluded. Russian state media reported that the plane was rerouted due to heavy fog in Grozny. Azerbaijan Airlines initially told AZERTAC that the incident was caused by the aircraft colliding with a flock of birds, the outlet reported. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday that it would be wrong to speculate about the cause of the plane crash before an investigation had been carried out, according to Russian state media RIA Novosti.

Azerbaijan said on Wednesday that it would stop its assault on a breakaway Armenian enclave after the pro-Armenian authorities there announced an apparent surrender to Azerbaijan’s demands, a development that could avert a wider war in a volatile region while altering its geopolitics. In a statement carried by the Azerbaijani state news agency Azertac, the country’s Defense Ministry said that it had agreed to halt its “antiterror measures” in the enclave, Nagorno-Karabakh, after the separatist government there agreed that its forces would lay down their arms and withdraw from their battle positions. Around the same time, the Armenian separatist government issued its own statement declaring that it had accepted a Russia-brokered cease-fire after Azerbaijani forces managed to break through Armenian positions and “take control of a number of heights and strategic road junctions.”Nagorno-Karabakh, a mountainous enclave slightly bigger than Rhode Island in area, is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan, but is home to tens of thousands of Armenians who stayed after a 2020 cease-fire and are under the protection of Russian peacekeepers.

Vicepremierul azer Yagub Eyyubov a întâmpinat cuplul prezidenţial turc pe aeroportul din Baku, potrivit agenţiei naţionale de presă Azertac. „Vizita este ocazia de a celebra împreună victoria glorioasă" a Azerbaidjanului în faţa Armeniei după şase săptămâni de lupte sângeroase, a transmis marţi preşedinţia turcă într-un comunicat. În cadrul acestei vizite oficiale de două zile, Erdogan urmează să aibă o întrevedere cu omologul său azer Ilham Aliev şi să discute despre întărirea legăturilor între cele două ţări musulmane turcofone. Turcia a susţinut cu fermitate Azerbaidjanul în războiul său din această toamnă împotriva forţelor armene în Nagorno-Karabah. Luptele s-au încheiat cu un acord de încetare a ostilităţilor negociat sub egida Moscovei, care a consfinţit înfrângerea armatei armene şi a oferit importante câştiguri teritoriale Azerbaidjanului.
