[KavkazUzel] A total of 12 Azerbaijani citizens have been repatriated from Syria, including two children left without parents, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said today.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on May 28, two adults and nine children, including two sisters who had lost their parents, were returned to their homeland from a refugee camp in the Syrian city of Jerablus .

12 citizens of the country, who were kept in the Amerna camp in the Syrian city of Jerablus, have been repatriated to Azerbaijan. Among them are two children - a brother and sister aged 7 and 10, who lost both parents, the press service of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said today.

According to the ministry, first of all, the location, identity and belonging of the repatriated to the citizenship of Azerbaijan were determined. Then they were sent to Turkey, where Azerbaijani specialists conducted a preliminary medical and psychological examination and provided them with the necessary assistance. After that, the Azerbaijani embassy in Turkey issued certificates of return and air tickets to the repatriates .

All those who returned to their homeland upon completion of the paperwork will be transferred to their families or guardians. The Azerbaijani government intends to take all necessary measures for the reintegration and rehabilitation of repatriates, the ministry said.

Tofig Turkel, an observer for the Turan agency on the Middle East, explained earlier to the "Caucasian Knot" that in recent years the Azerbaijani authorities have been repatriating from Iraq and Syriachildren and women from the families of people who at one time went to fight in these countries as part of various armed formations. "Some created families there, and children were already born in these countries. After the liquidation of these terrorist groups, the death, arrest or flight of militants, women and children of foreigners, including Azerbaijanis, were placed in special camps, shelters or they were kept in places of detention

"As Azerbaijani citizenship is established, these people are returned back. It often happens that children have lost both parents, and the establishment of their citizenship takes some time. After the return of children without parents, they are usually given to close relatives - on the paternal or maternal side. Usually such children are taken by uncles , aunts or grandparents. If there are none, then the children are sent to orphanages",

The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that from 2018 to the end of 2020, 248 children were returned from Iraq. In 2021, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported on the return of children from Iraq, Syria and Turkey. On November 24, 2021, the Azerbaijani authorities returned to their homeland 12 natives of the country who were kept in the Amerna camp in the city of Jerablus in Syria.

On March 31, seven Azerbaijani citizens were repatriated from the same camp. On May 25, two children who were kept in a correctional facility in Iraq arrived from Baghdad, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told in the press service of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry. The total number of Azerbaijani citizens repatriated from Iraq has reached 290.
