Edited.The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported on the delivery to their homeland of 38 children who were in correctional institutions and orphanages in Iraq. We are talking about the children of Azerbaijanis who went to fight on the side of the militants in the Middle East, suggested journalist Tofig Turkel. The Azerbaijani authorities brought home 38 children from Iraq who were in correctional institutions and orphanages in this country, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said today. The children were delivered to their homeland today, it follows from the press release of the department sent to the "Caucasian Knot." Then they were provided with documents for returning to Azerbaijan and air tickets," it was reported. To deliver the children to their homeland in Baghdad, members of the working group were sent from among the representatives of state structures responsible for the return of Azerbaijani citizens from Iraq and Syria and their rehabilitation. The members of the working group conducted a preliminary medical and psychological examination of the children, they were provided with the necessary assistance, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said in a statement. A total of 38 children, accompanied by representatives of government agencies, were repatriated to Azerbaijan on the Baghdad-Istanbul-Baku flight. The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry recalled that a total of 288 Azerbaijani citizens were repatriated from Iraq, 286 children and two women. At the same time, the ministry's message does not indicate how the children from Azerbaijan ended up in the Middle East. We are talking about children and women from families of residents of Azerbaijan, who at one time went to Iraq and Syria to participate in hostilities as part of various terrorist groups, said Tofig Turkel, a Turan agency observer for the Middle East. "Some of them went with their families, taking their wives and children. Some of the children were already born there," he told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. After the death, arrest or escape of the militants, women and children of foreign citizens, including Azerbaijanis, foreign citizens, were placed in special camps and shelters in Iraq, Syria, liberated from terrorist groups, as well as in countries bordering with them. It takes some time to identify these people, to provide them with documents, and they are gradually returned to Azerbaijan. Children without parents are usually given to close relatives - on the paternal or maternal side. If there are none, then they go to orphanages, explained Turkel. The " Caucasian Knot " also wrote that on October 9, an Ankara-Baku flight brought four children to Azerbaijan, who were in an orphanage in the city of Iskenderun. Posted by: badanov 2021-10-29 |
