Criminal case opened over Mi-24 helicopter downing
“The matter does not end with the recovery of the bodies of Mi-24 helicopter pilots. Three people died. Defense Ministry will not limit itself to an official investigation,” Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan told Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s Armenian service.
“A criminal case was also opened. Experts of Defense Ministry and investigative bodies will make assessments and a solution will be found,” he said.
Ohanyan stressed that the helicopter was shot down by Azerbaijan during a training flight.
“The crew was familiar with the flight track. They earlier conducted a similar flight,” the minister said.
