He said that normally the contractors pay reparation, but taking into consideration the fact that this crash was not a normal, the two countries need to reach a settlement.

Razeefar said all the damage made to houses and gardens at the crash scene should be covered by the insurance company.

He said that the insurance companies cover things like pilots' mistakes, and crashes like hitting a mountain, etc., but this crash was not a normal one, so it entails negotiations.
