Azerbaijan has no intention of accepting assistance from Kadyrov, according to a source within the president's administration.

The authorities of Chechnya previously announced that "on the orders of Ramzan Kadyrov, they are ready to provide financial and other assistance to all families of the deceased and injured" in the AZAL plane crash that was flying from Baku to Grozny.

As reported to the publication Day.Az by the administration of Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev, the country does not require any assistance and will not accept it.

"Azerbaijan does not need any assistance. Neither the state nor the citizens will accept such help. We provide and will continue to provide the necessary support to our citizens. Azerbaijan demands recognition of the fact, an apology, and the payment of appropriate compensation," the source in the Presidential Administration stated.

Recall that on December 25, a passenger Embraer 190 aircraft belonging to AZAL, en route from Baku to Grozny, crashed 3 km from Aktau Airport.

There were 67 people on board the plane (62 passengers and 5 crew members).

After the passenger plane crash, 27 individuals were hospitalized. Among them, 15 are citizens of Azerbaijan, 8 are from the Russian Federation, and 3 are from Kyrgyzstan. The identity of one person has not yet been established.

Both pilots and the flight attendant lost their lives, while two crew members survived.

On December 26, 14 injured individuals and the bodies of four deceased were transported to Azerbaijan.

The plane's "black box" has already been found, and procedures for its analysis are being conducted in accordance with international aviation conventions. According to reports, an investigation into the causes of the crash is currently underway. Final conclusions will be made after all necessary research and data analysis are completed.
