Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi on Monday expressed his deep condolences to the Kyrgyz nation and government and the bereaved families of the victims.
A Turkish cargo jet has crashed near Kyrgyzstan’s Manas airport, killing at least 37 people, most of them residents of a village struck by the Boeing 747 as it tried to land in dense fog.
The plane was supposed to make a stopover at Manas, 25km north of capital Bishkek, on its way from Hong Kong to Istanbul on Monday.
