The decoding of the black box from the MIG-29 air force jet, which crashed over the Caspian Sea, is being finished, said spokesman for Azerbaijan's Defense Minister Eldar Sabiroghlu during a press conference today.
He said decoding is a complicated process, therefore, the reasons of the crash have not yet been made public.

"I hope that in the near future the decoding process will complete and the public will be informed about the reasons of the crash. It should also be noted that the search of the second pilot of MIG-29 continues but his corpse has not been found yet", said Sabiroghlu.

It should be reminded that the military airplane crashed near Shurabad village of Khizi. Both pilots - Fakhraddin Askerov and Afgan Aslanov - died.
