3.2 Probable cause of the serious incident:
The incident occurred due to inadvertent handling of the control column in fully automated mode by the copilot which got compounded as he was not trained to recover the aircraft in automated mode.
The official accident report doesn't even acknowledge the fact that the red autopilot disconnect button would have put the copilot into the situation where he has been trained to recover.

I agree with captplaystation - I'll add AIE to my no fly list.
