In a message to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Sunday, Ahmadinejad expressed his sincere condolences over the killing and injuring of Russian people in the plane crash.
The Iranian chief executive hoped that God would grant the bereaved families with patience.
On April 2, a passenger plane carrying 43 people crashed shortly after takeoff in the Tyumen region of Russia’s Siberia, killing at least 32 passengers.
The UT Air company airplane crashed 30 kilometers from the city of Tyumen, shortly after it took off from Roschino airport, heading towards Surgut in Siberia’s Urals. Tyumen is about 1,720 km (1,070 miles) east of Moscow.
The crash was the deadliest air disaster in Russia since a Yak-42 plane crashed into a riverbank near the city of Yaroslavl after takeoff in September 2011, killing 44 people.
