Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Azerbaijani citizens convicted in Iraq, having served their sentence, were able to return to their homeland. Azerbaijani authorities are preparing the return of two more women whose prison term has come to an end. At least 120 women from Azerbaijan still remain in Iraq, Tofig Turkel, a columnist for the Turan agency, said.
Good to know.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Azerbaijan periodically organizes the repatriation of its citizens who are kept in camps on the territory of Syria and Iraq. So, on May 18, eight children and three women returned to their homeland . According to the country's Foreign Ministry, over 400 Azerbaijani women and children have been returned from Syria and Iraq in recent years.

The Azerbaijani government ensured the return to their homeland of three women who were sentenced to imprisonment in Iraq. The women brought to Baku have served their sentences, the press service of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported on June 1.

The department noted that the return of two more Azerbaijani citizens from the Middle East, who had served their sentence, is being prepared. The names of women awaiting repatriation and already returned to their homeland are not disclosed by the authorities.

The message of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry emphasizes that so far 288 children of Azerbaijani women held in places of detention have been returned from Iraq.

We are talking about the repatriation of women whose husbands fought in Iraq in detachments of various armed groups, including the banned terrorist organization ISIS*, Turan agency columnist Tofig Turkel believes.

"These women went (to the Middle East) with their husbands. After the defeat of terrorist groups and the death of their husbands, the women ended up in prison along with their children. In recent years, the Azerbaijani government has been taking measures to repatriate its citizens from Iraq and Syria. Judging by the information from social networks and media, there are at least 120 Azerbaijani citizens in Iraq. Children, as a rule, were handed over to grandparents, uncles and aunts, and other relatives," Turkel told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

Turkel does not have exact information about the number of Azerbaijani citizens remaining in Syria, but notes that many Azerbaijanis were returned from this country earlier. "Perhaps, someone else can stay there. As their locations are established, repatriation measures are being taken," he added.
