Azerbaijan has repatriated 13 citizens, including six women and seven children, from Syria as part of a coordinated operation conducted on Oct. 6, the Foreign Ministry said.
The ministry said the citizens’ identities, locations and Azerbaijani citizenship were established before a government interagency working group was sent to Syria. The returnees underwent initial medical and psychological assessments, according to Report.
Azerbaijan’s diplomatic missions in Syria and Türkiye, along with its Consulate General in Istanbul, coordinated the repatriation and provided emergency travel documents and airline tickets.
The government said measures would be taken to support the citizens’ social rehabilitation and reintegration.
Azerbaijan will continue efforts to repatriate citizens affected by armed conflicts abroad, the ministry said.
