DUSHANBE, 12.02.2019. (NIAT Khovar) – The children of Tajik citizens who remain in Iraq and Syria will be brought back home, said the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan Sirojiddin Muhriddin at a press conference today.
“Today there are 92 Tajik children in Iraq. Among them 31 infants and toddlers up to age three. Seventy-five parents gave their consent for their children’s departure from Iraq. Parental permission is one of the main requirements for travel according to the Iraqi law. All children, without exception, will be returned home,” Sirojiddin Muhriddin explained.
