The Ukrainian foreign minister has said he'll insist that Iran hand over the black boxes from the Ukraine International Airline's plane that was shot down in Tehran. Vadym Prystaiko will meet an Iranian government minister who's now in Kiev. On Sunday, Iran insisted it would first try to examine the black boxes, but Mr. Prystaiko stressed that they were Ukraine's property. We're trying to explain that according to the agreement under the Convention on International Civil Aviation, it is not simply a right, but an obligation of a country where a catastrophe happened to start an investigation. If there are no technical facilities, that country is obliged to invite other countries to assist. We as a country which suffered very greatly in this disaster demand that the black boxes be handed over.
