The Kremlin is already saying that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has apologized for the Russian deaths and promised a thorough investigation. Aliyev, in a telephone conversation with Putin, allegedly apologized for the death of Russian peacekeepers and expressed his readiness to provide financial assistance to the families of the victims.
Yesterday, a car with Russian military personnel was fired upon. This happened while returning from an observation post in the Janyatag area.
