Bishkek, Dec.30, 2024. /Kabar/. At a press conference on Monday, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kyrgyzstan Jeenbek Kulubaev told how many Kyrgyz citizens were returned from Syria, Palestine and Gaza in 2024.
He said that the final 5th and 6th stages of the Aikol humanitarian mission on repatriation of Kyrgyzstanis from the north-eastern regions of Syria were realized during the past year. As a result, 121 citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic were returned home – 36 women and 85 children.
“All citizens who applied for help have been returned from Syria. At the moment, there is no other information about Kyrgyz citizens being there. There are not only Kyrgyzstanis there, but also citizens of neighboring countries or CA countries. They claim that they are citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic, but when we check, it turns out that they are our citizens. We will continue these works in 2025,” the minister said.
In addition, the procedure for evacuation of 4 Kyrgyz citizens and 18 of their close relatives from armed conflict zones, the Gaza Strip and Palestine was implemented.
“24 underage citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic who remained in Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkey and Iraq without the care of legal representatives were repatriated. Of these, 20 people were returned from Russia, one each from Kazakhstan and Turkey, and two teenagers from Iraq,” Jeenbek Kulubaev added.
