[KavkazUzel] Three women and 13 children, one of whom was left an orphan, were repatriated to Azerbaijan from Syria, where they were kept in a camp. 

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Azerbaijan periodically organizes the return of its citizens from camps in Syria and Iraq. So, on May 18, eight children and three women returned to their homeland, three more Azerbaijani citizens were repatriated on June 1. At least 120 women from Azerbaijan still remain in Iraq, Tofig Turkel, a columnist for the Turan agency, said.

Women and children brought to Azerbaijan on August 3 were kept in the Amerna camp in the Syrian city of Jerablus. Having established the place of their detention, the diplomats determined their identity and citizenship.

It was possible to organize their return to their homeland with the support of Turkey - repatriates arrived in this country from Syria before they arrived in Azerbaijan, APA reported with reference to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country.

One of the 13 children returned to their homeland lost both parents. All repatriates underwent primary medical and psychological examinations and received the necessary assistance, the publication says.
