There are 345 children and 20 women among those who have been repatriated, Faig Aghayev, deputy chairman of the Social Service Agency Board under the Labour and Social Security Ministry, said.
"Even after they return to their families, social rehabilitation work to integrate them into society will continue," Aghayev added.
It should be noted that seven Azerbaijani citizens were repatriated from the Amerna camp in the Syrian city of Jerablus on March 31, 2022, on an Ankara-Baku flight.
