"Addressing the Iranian side, I can say that payments to individual families do not relieve Iran of its international legal responsibility. Iran will not manage to avoid paying compensations. There is no precedent in the world practice when victims did not receive compensations after a plane crash," Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Yevhenii Yenin said in an interview with Radio Liberty, Ukrinform reports.
According to Yenin, the Government is confident that the amount of compensation that will be agreed during the government talks will be higher than the amount offered unilaterally or as its starting negotiating position by the Iranian side.
"Unfortunately, I cannot name the exact date when this will happen in this situation, it depends on many factors. But I can say with confidence that no one will be left without compensation. We will use all our resources and the help of our partners to protect the interests of all those affected by this tragedy," the Deputy Minister stressed.
