Kazakh political scientist Dimash Alzhanov claims that the leaked transcripts of alleged conversations between AZAL pilots and Russian ground services are an attempt to exert informational pressure on Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan during the investigation into the December crash
The recently leaked transcripts of alleged conversations between Russian airport ground services and AZAL pilots operating the Baku-Grozny flight that crashed near Aktau on December 25 are seen as an attempt to exert informational pressure on Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, according to Kazakh political scientist Dimash Alzhanov.
In an interview with Report's Kazakhstan bureau, Alzhanov stated, "These transcripts, which have not been officially confirmed, should be viewed as an effort to put pressure on Kazakhstan, which is leading the investigation, and on Azerbaijan, whose aircraft was involved in the crash."
Alzhanov pointed out that the transcripts appeared on Telegram channels linked to certain Russian establishment circles.
He noted that while the pressure on Kazakhstan’s government remains uncertain, there has been no official response from either Kazakhstan or Azerbaijan following the leak of the recordings. He stressed the importance of awaiting the official investigation report, expected by the end of January.
Regardless of the outcome, Alzhanov believes Kazakhstan will aim to maintain stable relations with both Azerbaijan and Russia in this matter.
