Huseynov noted that with a “travel document”, foreign refugees residing in Azerbaijan will be able to travel abroad.
“Last year, 3.1 million foreigners arrived in Azerbaijan,” the service head added. “Prior to this, foreigners who received refugee status in Azerbaijan, found it difficult to travel outside the country. From now on, according to this document, they can travel to any country. The travel document is valid for five years.
