According to the Foreign Ministry spokesperson, international practice in this type of disaster will be taken into account when determining the amount of compensation.
In addition to the statements that the Iranian side has been making in the media in recent days, the interaction is not progressing. The agreements reached during the second round of consultations in Tehran at the end of October 2020, Iran has not yet fulfilled. This situation is especially unacceptable, since we are talking about the fate of innocent people, “said the Foreign Ministry.
The Foreign Ministry recalled that Ukraine is waiting from Iran for a draft technical report on the circumstances of the plane crash.
