ALMATY, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) — The final report on the investigation into the crash of the Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL) plane near the Kazakh city of Aktau may be published by the end of 2025, the Kazinform news agency reported on Thursday, citing Kazakh Deputy Prime Minister Kanat Bozumbayev.

According to K. Bozumbayev, international experts from different countries are participating in the investigation. “Part of the equipment is still abroad for examination, it will return soon… In a few months there will be a final report,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

He expressed his reluctance to politicize the question of how the plane was damaged. In his opinion, these questions should be answered by an explosive expert examination conducted by law enforcement agencies.

"As far as I know, they have sent requests to other countries that have various types of weapons with the same striking elements that were found in the fuselage of the crashed plane. Therefore, the truth /the cause of the crash/ will be established by the end of the year, all the requirements will be fulfilled to the letter, to the point," added K. Bozumbayev.

On December 25, 2024, an AZAL Embraer 190 passenger plane crashed near the Kazakh city of Aktau. There were 67 people on board the plane, which was flying from Baku to Grozny, 38 of whom died.
