However, while marking the anniversary of the tragedy ministry mentioned, “Certainly, transport ministry had made transfers to the families, who lost their family during the plane incident.”

The Foreign Ministry, in its statement, said, “We have been transparent, and other accused countries tried their best to take advantage of this painful incident to fulfil their political agendas.”

The government released the statement after four countries whose citizens were killed said that the negotiations with Iran were “futile”.
