Moscow announced intentional destruction of Russian Mi-24 by Azerbaijan

116

The case of the Mi-9 helicopter of the Russian Aerospace Forces attacked on November 24 last year on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border was re-qualified by Russian investigators for a more serious article - premeditated murder (part 2, article 105 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). Initially, the perpetrators were charged with a crime under Article 351 (death by negligence), punishable by up to 7 years in prison. Reported by the agency Interfax.

According to an informed source, now the punishment for the committed crime can include life imprisonment. Moscow's statement on the deliberate destruction of the Russian helicopter by the Azerbaijani side was adopted following the results of earlier investigative actions.



It is difficult to say how long the investigative measures will take. The investigation of the incident is made difficult by the fact that the suspects in the attack on the Mi-24 are in another state. The case is being handled by lawyers based at the Russian military base in Gyumri, Armenia.

A Russian Mi-24 helicopter was shot down over Armenian territory outside the zone of military conflict, two soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces were killed, one was wounded. The Mi-24 accompanied the base convoy near the Yeraskh settlement near the border with the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic, which is part of Azerbaijan. On the evening of November 9, Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a trilateral agreement to end the military confrontation in the NKR.

    And here it is not tricky.
    1) Moscow should demand that the perpetrators be extradited to the RF Prosecutor's Office.
    2) Official apology from Baku.
    3) Payment of compensation for the helicopter and family members of the deceased pilots.
    4) Replacement of the ambassador of Azerbaijan to the Russian Federation with a smarter person who will think more and speak less. In case of refusal of all Gaster out of the Russian Federation, the closure of the border, the termination of bank transfers from the Russian Federation and a complete embargo on trade, let them sell their tomatoes to Turkey, if they can.

      1) This is not accepted in international practice. The perpetrators will be punished and will serve their sentences in the country of the crime.
      2) A formal apology has been made
      3) Azerbaijan immediately agreed to pay compensation
      4) The replacement of the ambassador is not within the competence of the Russian Federation. Russia can ASK to replace the ambassador, but the appointment of the ambassador depends only on Azerbaijan
      Everything else means a break in economic ties between Russia and Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan not only "sells tomatoes", but also buys weapons from Russia. The last contract was for $ 5 billion. Co-production of cars. Disruption of the North-South ITC, in which Russia is strongly interested. And a bunch of other things that the guardians of "tomatoes" do not even imagine.

        6) Russia may not ask, but declare your ambassador persona non grata and you will have to replace him, whether you want it or not.
        They killed the citizens of the Russian Federation, meanly and deliberately, so either you betray the killers of the Russian Federation, or bring their heads without their bodies, the latter will suit me more personally. In case of refusal to disentangle the consequences too for you.
        7) So buy weapons now in Turkey, there are many antediluvian Leopard-1, maybe they will share with you.

          To declare the ambassador persona non grata? Where did you study in international relations? This is possible, but unlikely to be done.
          I don't even want to discuss the rest. Nobody "meanly and deliberately" did anything. The investigation reclassified the crime, but this does not mean that it was so.
          You would first ask for the heads of those who shot down Russian planes in Syria.
          As for the Leopards, that's up to us. I have listed Russia's losses from your proposals. Ten billion at least. And the Russian brigade in Karabakh is on its way out. All the efforts of Moscow in the South Caucasus you famously crossed out.
          The flag is in your hands.

            Do not want to discuss, do not. Personally, I can do fine without Gaster from the countries of the former USSR in the Russian Federation. Russia has not fought with you. The Armenian army, of course, is not about anything, but Turkey to the Russian Federation is like walking to the moon. So pulling death by the mustache (I do not advise fighting the Russian Federation), although, you decide, if you want to fight, we will fight.

              Who talks about war anyway? I see many people here are simply eager to declare war on Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is in close contact with Russia to clarify the reasons for this incident. At the level of the Prosecutor General's Office and the military. They apologized and are ready to pay compensation. In war, they shoot and sometimes even at their own. The helicopter was shot down in the evening over the territory of Armenia near the borders of Azerbaijan. The error is most likely. From the Russian base in Gyumri at a distance of at least 100-150 km. What was he doing there? Did someone warn Azerbaijan about a Russian convoy in this area?
              But if you want to fight, we will fight.

                And your intentionally destroying the helicopter of the Russian Federation (and this is proven) what they wanted, isn't it war ?! So why take offense at ours now ?! Just ask your friends! Either you betray the bandits of the Russian Federation, or you protect them, but then all of you will have to answer for their crimes ... So be it, then we will fight. The next Russian-Turkish war will end predictably, you will know how to raise your hand against a nuclear power. By the way, Ukraine won out, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Ternopil, are officially included in the number of targets for a nuclear strike in case of war.

                      There is no evidence that the Russian helicopter was deliberately shot down. And there is no "boorish Russophobia" either. There is a tragic accident. and this is what Russian and Azerbaijani LAWYERS and MILITARY are working on.

                        If you think that they are not there, then the investigative committee in the Russian Federation thinks otherwise and the Russian government will proceed from the opinion of the investigative committee of the Russian Federation, and not the citizen of the country that shot down the helicopter of the Russian Air Force.

                        Lord, how difficult it is to explain common truths. The investigation can put forward any article of the Criminal Code. The final decision is made by the court. And under what article the crime is qualified, it is not the investigation but the court that decides. The court may not accept the results of the investigation at all. There are a lot of precedents for that. The Russian government has nothing to do with this at all. In the Russian Federation, as in most countries of the world, the court is an INDEPENDENT institution.

                        The court works on the basis of investigative evidence. The court may refuse, but this needs good reasons, for example, the absence of corpus delicti, but this is not the case.

                        Sorry (in the voice of Woland) for interfering in your conversation. It's just an interesting argument. Just like the classics: "Gandhi came to Dundee." The restless Sagittarius, clearly lacking basic legal knowledge? categorically believes that the decision of the Investigative Committee on retraining from unintentional to intentional crime is equal to a court verdict. That is, it gives the UK the powers of the court. This is a priori wrong. Only the verdict of the court establishes the guilt, or, on the contrary, the innocence of the defendant. It is not possible to agree with his statements about the extradition of Azerbaijani citizens to the Russian Federation for their trial. The constitutions of all countries contain an article on the prohibition of the extradition of their citizens.

                        The issue of RF sanctions against Azerbaijan for the incident is controversial. They may or may not enter. And you - Bakht reasonably raise the question: "Is it worth it?" Baku did not reach into the bottle, apologized, sprinkled ashes on his head, and is ready to compensate material and moral damage to the victims. In this particular case - to the relatives of the victims. But your arguments, Bakht, that there was no premeditated murder, cannot under any circumstances be recognized as true. It is in terms of qualifications. The actions of the Azerbaijani crew were reasonably re-qualified from careless murder to premeditated murder. I am quite surprised why this was not done immediately by the investigator. This is a clear and flagrant legal error.

                        Careless murder differs from intentional murder in intent, that is, in the subjective aspect of the corpus delicti. The perpetrator mistakenly believed he was not committing murder. For example, while hunting, he shoots a wild boar, but hits a friend who, while drunk, decided to joke and at dusk went to the position of the shot (by the way, a real case). In the incident that occurred, there was a so-called error in the subject. The anti-aircraft gunners mistook a Russian combat helicopter for an Armenian combat helicopter. Their actions were deliberately aimed at destroying enemy aircraft in a war. And they acted, precisely with a direct intent, aimed at achieving the result - the murder of the crew, and allowed the death of people. And according to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, it does not matter for qualification as premeditated murder, which mistakenly killed the Russians. To make it clearer for you: the guilty person, shooting at the victim and wishing his death, misses and hits the person standing next to him. He will be responsible for the premeditated murder of a specific person and for the attempted murder of the person he shot at. Yes, in this case, the court will take into account mitigating circumstances. Moreover, they can be considered exceptional. And the defendants will receive suspended sentences. Which is likely to happen.

                        Baku is likely to abandon the recourse claim against the convicted. And, you Bakht, deliberately, defending the honor of Azerbaijan, or simply by virtue of legal ignorance, replace premeditated murder with murder by negligence. Man you are, judging by your posts, competent enough. But here they hit the post. Open any textbook on criminal law and read the relevant provisions of the general part of the Criminal Code on the signs of a crime. In particular, about the subjective side and the so-called error in the subject.

                        I completely agree with you. Except for one thing. Have I ever questioned a willful or unintentional act? I said that the helicopter was shot down by mistake. The soldier who pulled the trigger had the goal of shooting down the helicopter and killing those in it. This is, of course, a deliberate act. He was not mistaken when he shot down the helicopter. Another thing is that he was not going to shoot down a Russian helicopter specifically. This is what I am writing about.

                        I am very sorry that I was not able to convey this thought during the discussion.
                        The retraining of the case is the work of the investigators. And they can reclassify deeds a hundred times a day. It doesn't really matter at the moment. And the issue of compensation will most likely be resolved upon completion of the investigation and court decision.

                        I have contested incorrect suggestions for this incident. But we understand each other. The Russian language is quite rich. From the words "crime", "mistake", "incident", much changes.
                        From a legal point of view, this is a crime. This is a mistake with the military. Politically, this incident should not affect relations between states.
                        Offhand. Boeing shot down over Sakhalin, Boeing shot down over Donbas, Airbus over the Persian Gulf, Ukrainian Boeing in Iran, Russian TU over the Black Sea.
                        Where and in what case was the ambassador sent, demanded the head of the culprit, or threatened with nuclear weapons?

                        The analogies given by you also came to my mind. Most interesting is the incident with the IL-20 shot down by the Syrians. Even a criminal case was not opened. And it's clear why. When initiating a criminal case in that case, it would also have to qualify the actions of the calculation as premeditated murder. Otherwise it is simply impossible. In Syria, the situation was generally delicate: ours near Damascus shot down our plane with our missile. It's good that Jews exist. Blame for all occasions. In the Syrian incident, that was fine with everyone. But the approaches are different. Double. Yes, the qualifications are correct, but they could not have initiated the case. As in the Syrian incident. After all, the analogy is complete. So there is a political component. In relation to Azerbaijan. I don’t believe that competent guys from the UK first qualify knowingly incorrectly, then retrain. It’s from someone’s supply. The impression is that a legal spark has been created, which at the right time may turn into not just a fire, but a factor of political tension. However, this has nothing to do with our exchange of legal opinions.

                  Of course deliberately. This was done by agents of influence (they are grabbed on both sides of the conflict) or ordinary foreign saboteurs (SGA, Great Britain, Israel, Turkey). I don't think there is a need to explain the purpose. We decided to hush up, apologized, compensated. The conflict is over. The provocation failed. Not enough for you?

Imagine such a picture - all the gas stations they have are ours, in the middle of Baku there is such a non-children's oil depot (well, like FUDSITY, it is Iizer). At all these facilities, local hard workers and everyone who produces oil there must sell it to us cheaply, or for a considerable fee, it should be admitted to the lousiest trading places. If the locals don't like that we are drinking and playing the accordion in the middle of the night, a herd of us immediately gathers and we go to pile on him. Well, if we again have a fight with the Ukrainians, then we and they move to the streets of their cities (where they have wives and children, but we don't care) and begin our showdown.

                        The Russian MI-24 was shot down in the skies of Armenia by the Azerbaijani side deliberately provocatively with the aim of CONTINUING the war.

                        Namely.
                        In principle, neither Turkey, represented by Erdogan, nor Azerbaijan, represented by Aliyev, are satisfied with stopping the war with the Armenians, since Azerbaijan and Turkey did not achieve their initial military-political goals in this war - to destroy NKR, then Armenia and move on.
                        At the same time, Erdogan has goals, like Hitler's in the Third Reich, against Russia. Aliyev is simply in the deck of his playing cheating cards.
                        And Erdogan was raised with his Turkey, again by the collective West, as a tool of the West against the existence of Russia for its dismemberment and final colonization.
                        All this is the forerunner to TMV.

                        Erdogan launched an offensive against Russia • 4 Jan. 2021

You want to turn your neutral neighbor into an enemy. Capture Azerbaijan or turn it into dust? Well then, there will definitely not be Russian military personnel, but American ones. Russia will lose billions of dollars, gain enemy bases close by and lose access to the Persian Gulf. The straits will also close and the situation in Syria will become clearly difficult for Russia.

                  So pulling death by the mustache (I do not advise fighting the Russian Federation), although, you decide, if you want to fight, we will fight.

                  I have a couple of minutes to clarify my position. Although, I feel that it is useless. All the fuss started because of the aggressiveness of one of the users. But judging by the number of pros and cons, it is supported by the majority on this site. I am only interested in the pros and cons only as a marker of sentiment on the site. Not more.
                  So - here they are threatening with military actions against Azerbaijan. Let's look at the "alternative future". Moreover, you claim that your predictions come true. I disagree with that, but that's none of my business.
                  So Russia declares war on Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani army is concentrated in the western direction. The north is practically open. Plus the Navy, plus the Airborne Forces. Azerbaijan has been defeated for several days. Well, maybe a couple of weeks. Russia occupies Azerbaijan and is forced to keep a couple of divisions here. Are there so many of them in Russia?
                  The Azerbaijani army is concentrated in the western direction and through Zangezur (Armenia) goes to Nakhichevan. Turkish troops are also entering Nakhichevan. From Yerevan and Gyumri there is a "lunar landscape". There are 10 million people in Azerbaijan. A guerrilla war begins. First pin pricks, then small detachments, like in Afghanistan. The support of the West will be provided - you can be sure.

                  Russia is de facto at war with Azerbaijan and Turkey. The Bosphorus is closed and the "Syrian Express" is also covered with a copper basin. Only military transport aircraft can be supplied to the group in Syria. The naval group in the Eastern Mediterranean can be supplied through the field of Europe from the Baltic. Moreover, the English Channel may also close, like Gibraltar. All agreements with Turkey on Syria are covered with a copper basin.

                  Ukraine and the Baltic states, using the example of Azerbaijan, require protection and NATO troops are already officially entering their territory. The West is 100 km from St. Petersburg and 300 km from Moscow. That is, Moscow urgently needs to build up its grouping in the West and South and keep them on high alert.

                  The military aspect can be closed. I don't see any advantages for Russia.

                  The political aspect. The USSR was already expelled from the League of Nations. I assure you that this is a UN crisis and Russia may well lose its place in the Security Council. Moreover, the pressure will be from almost all sides. I don't see any advantages for Russia either.

                  Economy. The sanctions will become comprehensive. Up to the ban on energy trade and bank transfers. There will be practically nothing to buy in the West. I do not presume to predict China's position, but I think that China will oppose Russia. They have invested a lot of money in the Silk Road and the war on this way is not at all profitable for them. I don't see any advantages for Russia here either.

                  "Russian world" is not an empty phrase, is it?

                  Now, adding two and two, tell me for whom is the "Russian world" not an empty phrase?

                        In our time, there is reconnaissance, and air reconnaissance from the side of Azerbaijan and Turkey over Karabakh was carried out constantly, and the reconnaissance means now allow you to see everything very far. Do not write to me that someone did not know that the turntable belongs to the Air Force of the Russian Federation, I will not believe in such tales, because I myself served. I can assume that, perhaps, the scumbags who Erdogon brought to Karabakh from Syria were shooting, but this does not diminish the fault of Azerbaijan, which allowed them to enter its territory.

                        1) They were shooting from MANPADS, most likely Stinger, which are full in Turkey. If the army shoots at anyone, it is a gang, not an army, and the Russian Federation has every right to fire to suppress bandit formations, the actions of which, in your opinion, no one controls or directs them. After all, according to you, the Azerbaijani army is a herd of armed thugs who shoot wherever they go, even without officers, which is horror in itself.

                        2) I have an excellent idea of ​​what modern intelligence is. The turntable was just being prepared for departure, but they already knew that it was being prepared in Baku and Ankara. If there they do not consider it necessary to inform their soldiers and officers in a timely manner, to lead them, then these peoples do not need an army and statehood, it means that they are undersized.

      Aliyev began to implement points 2 and 3 the very next day: he called Putin, pleaded guilty for the death of the helicopter and the crew, offered payments to families and Russia. And he is unlikely to betray his citizens to Russia. By the way, there are very few Azeris from Azeris, and those Azerbaijanis who live here have passports of Russian citizens and own all food markets. So your plan, unfortunately, is impracticable, unless the ambassador will be changed, and even then it is unlikely.

The fact that Russia, especially under Yeltsin, at the official level, turned a blind eye to crimes committed against Russians on ethnic grounds in the republics of the former USSR, this is the fault of Yeltsin and company, but this does not negate the guilt of those who organized pogroms on ethnic grounds in the Russia countries and the governments of these countries covered this chaos.

        That the ambassador should be changed, I wrote at the same time. And not even in connection with this incident. He has already received a scolding from the Office of the President of Azerbaijan. But, once again, the change of the ambassador is a political act, on which the decision is made by the government of Azerbaijan. Russia can express a wish to replace the ambassador.

                        Russians were not expelled from Azerbaijan. It was just that they were uncomfortable in the nation state when the Russian language was out of communication. There are a lot of Russians in Baku, there are Russian schools and churches. And no one expelled Russians from Azerbaijan. I remember a conversation with a representative of the Russian embassy. "If you decide to stay in Azerbaijan, you will have to learn the Azerbaijani language."
                        Nobody was seen off with flowers. But they were not expelled. Ask that person - he sold the apartment, left normally, or was he kicked out in the snow barefoot?

Well, if you are a reasonable person, you should understand this, if not, then no ... Judging by the fact that they arrived almost without pants, he did not sell the apartment there, and if he did, then for a pittance. Many people and not only those who came to Russia from Baku told about posters in the style “Don't buy apartments from Vanya and Masha, they will be ours anyway”. I have no reason not to trust these people.

                        There were no such posters.
                        Whom you want to believe. I don’t believe private stories for a long time. Because I lived and live here among Russians and Russian-speakers. And around me now in the workplace is full of Russians. I know the trends.
                        The refugees were Armenians. Jews and Russians left on their own. There were about 200-300 thousand Jews and Russians in Baku. In total, about half a million. Apartments were very cheap then. Our Azerbaijanis offered me an apartment of 100 square meters in the city center for only $ 7. It was just that no one had money back then.
                        So you can trust anyone. I lived in Baku at that time. And my daughter went to a Russian school and graduated from the institute in Russian. Do not believe it - your business. About the court, I tried to give a link to the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Internet failure, failed. But you can see articles 118 and 120 for yourself.
                        Even if the Chief Justice is appointed by the President or the Lord God, justice in Russia is carried out on the basis of the Law. And the judge is not accountable to anyone except the Constitution and the Law. Moreover, some Investigative Committee.
                        About the helicopter. You have incorrect information and have already been told. The helicopter was shot down 6 hours before the signing of the Armistice. Shot down far from their base. Accompanied a convoy of military equipment near the border with Azerbaijan. There the distance is from 500 meters to 1 km. No one could have guessed that this was a Russian helicopter. Azerbaijan immediately admitted its guilt, apologized and agreed to pay compensation. And they created a joint group of investigators.
                        There will be a final decision and everyone will agree. This is a tragic accident.

                        1) The judge is subject to the law and a decision will be made based on the data of the investigative committee (evidence). The judge cannot refuse to accept the evidence, he is obliged to accept it by law. If everything were as simple as it seems to you, the very opening of a criminal case would have been refused. Accident or not, will be decided in the Russian Federation. Even if this is an accident, and there is already evidence that this is a deliberate act (because the case is already being considered in this vein), then you will have to answer for accidental murder

                        2) As for the posters, I am sure that they were, because people who did not know each other, who came from different republics of the former USSR, spoke about them.

                        3) As for the refugees from Baku, they told me that they started with pogroms of the Armenian population, and ended up with all non-titular nations. People were dismissed from their jobs, on the basis of their ethnicity, especially from a good job, depriving them of their livelihood, and that is at least.

If you do not wish to understand this, these are your difficulties. You are in vain trying to prove something, since there are many refugees from the countries of the former USSR in the Russian Federation and they all cannot lie, but the citizens of the former republics of the USSR, separated from Russia, all write, like you, literally as a carbon copy, denying the obvious.

                        2) Do not confuse Russians with non-Russians who know Russian. Bandera also know Russian, but Russians are not members of the Right Sector and similar fascist organizations, they are non-Russians.

Although you are trying to present it as obvious, incredible. In your opinion, all Russian refugees who have come to Russia from your countries are lying, at least people like you in the post-Soviet countries, all as one, they say it. But we believe ours, not you, including because many of you, even coming to the Russian Federation, do not want to respect the laws and customs of the local population and behave defiantly, and then they make a surprised face when they learn that their neighbors hate them.

                        Well, by that time Baku was no longer the same.
                        They wrote about the helicopter more than once and in hot pursuit. Strictly speaking, even if the helicopter was Armenian, ours should not have shot it down. Ours did not go over the territory of Armenia. But there are specifics. A road 500 meters from the border, dusk and a military column. Someone shot from MANPADS. Punished in full, I have no doubt about it.
                        But Azerbaijan did not bother and hide. Recognized immediately. And we agree about compensation. They will determine the amount and be sure to pay. I'm sorry for the guys. They accompanied the Russian convoy to Karabakh. But who knew it then?
                        After the introduction of a peacekeeping brigade in Karabakh (November-December), at least one Russian officer has already been killed and another wounded. Blown up by mines. The work of the military is like this. You can die.
                        This in no way justifies the carelessness of our military. I have already said that they will definitely be punished. About a couple of weeks ago there was a video of Azerbaijani soldiers destroying Armenian graves in Karabakh. Four have already been arrested and will face trial.

I think something similar happened here: some have not calmed down yet, others have gone close to the demarcation line ...

                        Ahahaha, not even funny. Judges, according to the law, are not subject to jurisdiction !!!!!!! In order to condemn (what a horror, judge) the President's decision is required !!!!!!

    Colleagues got excited, sparks are flying from the monitor of the note. Has our base in Gyumri warned our Azerbaijani colleagues in Nakhichevan? There are a lot of communication channels today, even if the cable between cities has been dug up everywhere and handed over in non-ferrous metal. There are several answers: they did not warn, the signalman forgot to send, the signalman received it, but forgot to report, reported, but someone made a commanding decision ...

    It is necessary to emphasize the necessary, only because it will not become easier for the victims and their families ...

      Yes you are right.
      The boss is already looking at me askance. I sit in front of this monitor for half the watch. There is not even time to look at others.
      All the best and enjoyable.

    To all Armenians who sympathize with the "eternally infinitely suffering" Armenians and other lovers of Satan's-Bogdasarov scoundrels, Russia can change at least 10 articles, but it will not change anything. You can shove your threats to hell. We are not Georgians or Latvians. The answer is not sickly. If necessary, we will burn the sowing ourselves. The Caucasus will not seem like a little. And you yourself know that the hatred for the center there is prohibitive and you only need a match to set fire to this cauldron. About the downed helicopter. I think they shot down correctly. Do not fly where you have never flown, especially during the war and even provocatively near the border. You'd better be silent. Shooting down passenger Boeings still dare to blame someone for something.

    What prevents the Azerbaijani side from declaring who committed the crime / by surname /, indicating the article of each, the measure of restraint, etc.
    What prevents the Russian side from declaring what investigative measures were carried out with the Azerbaijanis, what agreement on compensation, etc.
    The parties do not report anything about the course of the investigation, and in fact people died.
    Every time noodles are hung on the ears of readers in the style of blah, blah, blah, no specifics.
    We must respect our citizens.
    I have a vague suspicion that the helicopter was shot down by the Turks and they have long been outside the jurisdiction of Azerbaijan.
