President Ilham Aliyev noted that Azerbaijan does not believe this was a deliberate attack.
"The only thing that we demanded was to admit that, punish those who committed that crime, even if it was not intentional, and pay compensation to the victims and to the airline,” underlined President Ilham Aliyev.
