[KavkazUzel] Eight children and three women who were kept in camps in Syria have been delivered to their homeland, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Azerbaijan periodically organizes the repatriation of its citizens who are kept in camps on the territory of Syria and Iraq. So, on November 24, 16 citizens of Azerbaijan, including 13 children, were returned to their homeland. According to the country's Foreign Ministry, over 400 Azerbaijani women and children have been returned from Syria and Iraq in recent years.
Eleven Azerbaijani citizens, including three women and eight children, arrived home by plane on May 18. Previously, they were kept in Syrian camps in Syria, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said.
For the repatriation of citizens, the agency had to establish their location, identity and citizenship, determine the number of people returned and ensure that they could cross Syria into Turkey.
The repatriation was coordinated by the Azerbaijani embassy in Turkey - its employees provided the repatriates with documents for returning to their homeland and air tickets, the ministry said in a statement translated by the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
According to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, after the return of former prisoners, conditions will be organized for social rehabilitation and reintegration of repatriates into society.
