As a result of phased and coordinated measures taken by the government of the Republic of Azerbaijan, on June 7, 9, and 11 of this year, 23 citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan (7 women and 16 children) were repatriated from the Syrian Arab Republic to our country.

This information was released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Azerbaijan.

At the initial stage of the repatriation process, the location, identity, and citizenship of the repatriates belonging to the Republic of Azerbaijan were established. The Embassies of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Syrian Arab Republic and the Republic of Turkey, as well as the Consulate General in Istanbul, carried out the relevant coordination work, and our citizens were provided with "Certificates of Return to the Republic of Azerbaijan" and airline tickets.

Members of the Working Group, composed of state bodies responsible for the repatriation of citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan who found themselves in crisis situations in foreign countries, were dispatched to Syria, and initial medical and psychological examinations of the repatriates were conducted.

The implementation of appropriate measures aimed at the social rehabilitation and reintegration of the repatriates into society in our country is envisaged.

The adoption of necessary measures for the repatriation of citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan who have become victims of armed conflict on the territory of foreign countries will be continued.
