"MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday apologized to his Azerbaijani counterpart for what he called a “tragic incident” following the crash of an Azerbaijani airliner in Kazakhstan that killed 38 people, but stopped short of acknowledging that Moscow was responsible."

How many Jetliners have the Russians shot down accidentally?

Shoot down the airliner, why did putin apologize?
Of course it was shot down by Russia.

Oh yeah, it was... Surprised Putin even mentioned it to the President of Azerbaijan.
