Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said 138 of the passengers on a Ukrainian jet that crashed in Iran, killing all on board, were connecting to Canada and offered his condolences on behalf of the nation
OTTAWA - Canada expects to play a big role in Iran’s probe of an airliner crash that killed 63 Canadians even though the two nations do not have diplomatic ties, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday.
Canada broke off diplomatic relations with Iran in 2012. Trudeau said Canadian Foreign Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne would call his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif later on Wednesday to underline the need for a proper probe of the crash. Italy normally acts as a proxy for communication between Canada and Iran, and the Ukrainian ambassador told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp that his government was willing to help.
Most of the victims came from Canada’s Iranian community. Among the dead were a newlywed couple that had traveled to Iran to get married as well as two professors at the University of Alberta.
