Kazakhstan's Deputy Prime Minister Kanat Bozumbayev said on Wednesday that the cause of the plane crash in Kazakhstan cannot be established yet, and the incident is far from a conclusion.
An Embraer 190 aircraft operated by Azerbaijan Airlines with flight number J2-8243 from Baku to Grozny crashed near Aktau Airport in Kazakhstan on Wednesday with 67 people on board.
Of all the 67 people on board, 38 were killed in the crash, Kazakhstan's Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) said on Wednesday.
The governments of both Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan have announced the establishment of a national committee to investigate the cause of the plane crash.
Both countries have said that the cause of the crash cannot be determined for the time being.
Bozumbayev said that an inter-departmental investigation team has been set up, and criminal investigation and identification experts and civil aviation management experts have arrived in Aktau for further investigations.
The experts will collect all evidence and conduct necessary identification within the framework of the criminal case to determine the cause of the crash, said Bozumbayev.
Meanwhile, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on Wednesday signed an official order to designate December 26 as a national day of mourning in response to the tragedy.
Aliyev, who was in Russia's airspace en route to St. Petersburg for a summit at the time, ordered his flight to return upon learning of the incident.
Aliyev said the crashed plane changed its course due to bad weather, but the cause of the crash is still unclear. He said it is too early to discuss the cause of the crash.
According to Azerbaijan Airlines, the most recent comprehensive technical check of the crashed aircraft was in October this year, and the captain of the crashed aircraft had more than 15,000 hours of flight time.
The Azerbaijan Airlines has said it would suspend all flights from Baku, Azerbaijan to Grozny, Russia, and from Baku to Makhachkala, Russia until the investigation of this incident is completed.
