The Foreign Ministry expects the Iranian government to reserve the necessary amount in the budget
The funds were intended to be allocated from the National Development Fund, which led to serious discussions in Iranian society.
Iranian authorities have withdrawn a proposal to pay the families of the victims of the Ukraine International Airlines plane, which was shot down in January 2020 over Tehran. This was announced on Tuesday, December 8, by the Deputy Foreign Minister, Yevgeniy Yenin, on the air of Hromadsky radio.
According to the politician, serious internal discussions in Iranian society became the reason for such decisions by Tehran.
According to my information, the government has already withdrawn this proposal, since it was supposed that 200 million would be allocated from the National Development Fund, which generated serious internal discussions in Iranian society. But we will welcome the Iranian government’s plans to set aside a certain amount of funds in the budget to pay for compensation. “, – said Yenin.
The deputy minister also said that the amount of compensation with the Iranian side has yet to be discussed as it will largely depend on the circumstances of the disaster and the level of cooperation and ensuring an objective and impartial investigation into the tragedy.
We will remember, before in Iran, he said that they will pay compensation in the case of the UIA in the amount of 200 million euros. For this, the Iranian state budget for 2021 sought to deposit the necessary funds.
