Another group of Azerbaijani citizens, including seven women and nine children, has been repatriated from Syria on July 18-19, as a result of the consistent and coordinated efforts carried out by the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Press Service Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs told AZERTAC.

Efforts initially focused on determining the whereabouts, identities, and citizenship of the repatriated individuals.

Representatives of the relevant government agencies, who are part of the working group tasked with repatriating Azerbaijani citizens, were dispatched to Syria to conduct preliminary medical and psychological assessments of the returnees.

Subsequently, with coordination carried out by the Azerbaijani Embassy in Türkiye and the Consulate General in Istanbul, the repatriated citizens were issued return certificates and provided with flight tickets to Azerbaijan, facilitating their return to the country.

All the necessary measures for the rehabilitation and reintegration of the returnees will be implemented.

The Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan will continue to take all necessary steps to ensure the safe return of its citizens affected by armed conflicts in foreign countries.
