No. Reuters, EuroNews, this source, and others are all claiming to have sources close to the investigation that have indicated that is what the investigation has found, no one I have seen claims an official statement from the investigation has been released with this conclusion.
There is a difference between leaks from an official investigation and the official outcome of the investigation. Official organs of the Azerbaijan government are not (yet) accusing Russia of shooting the plane with a missile.

- pvg 2y agoIt's completely Azerbaijan slow-rolling the accusation. All the 'sources close to the investigation' are from Azerbaijan, you see stuff like https://turan.az/en/politics/the-russian-side-must-apologize-rasim-musabeyov-788623 https://turan.az/en/politics/the-russian-side-must-apologize... It's a highly authoritarian state with a complicated relationship with Russia. You're applying generic media literacy 101 to something where it's not readily applicable.

Yes, it’s readily applicable. The difference between a state making an official accusation and it deliberately keeping the accusation unofficial is just as significant, arguably even moreso, when it is an authoritarian state which controls the message in either case then when it is, say, a bureaucratic liberal democracy which is simply following investigative protocol.
- pvg 2y agoNo Duh I'm sorry but this is just aggro dumbassery/pedantry.
