BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 12. As a result of
phased and coordinated measures undertaken by the Government of the
Republic of Azerbaijan, 23 Azerbaijani citizens (7 women and 16
children) were repatriated from the Syrian Arab Republic on June 7,
9, and 11 of this year, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said.
At the initial stage of the process, the whereabouts of the
repatriates, their identities, and their citizenship of the
Republic of Azerbaijan were established. The Embassies of
Azerbaijan in the Syrian Arab Republic and the Republic of Türkiye,
as well as the Consulate General in Istanbul, carried out the
necessary coordination work, providing the citizens with
Certificates of Return to the Republic of Azerbaijan and airline
tickets.
Members of the Working Group, comprising representatives of
state agencies responsible for the repatriation of Azerbaijani
citizens facing crisis situations abroad, were dispatched to Syria,
where the repatriates underwent initial medical and psychological
examinations.
Relevant measures aimed at the social rehabilitation and
reintegration of the repatriates into society are envisaged.
Efforts to take the necessary measures for the repatriation of
Azerbaijani citizens who have become victims of armed conflicts in
foreign countries will continue.
