Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Mohsen Baharvand on Friday declared that Canada isn’t qualified to present reports or voice opinion on the crash of a Ukrainian airliner in the vicinity of Tehran in January 2020, TASS reported.

“If such illegal behaviors of Canada become common, all countries, even civilian aviation, will be hurt. The part of the Canadian report which criticizes Iran’s report on the issue in the technical aspect is baseless and unacceptable,” IRNA cited the deputy foreign minister’s remarks.

Just imagine in every aviation incident, other countries ignore the regulations and protocols of inspecting the incident and try to politically pressure the country in which the incident has happened, he warned.

Instead of creating a media and political hype, according to Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation, if they had had any new information, they should have given it to the Iranian team, the diplomat added.
