A group of Iranian-origin foreign citizens was successfully evacuated to Azerbaijan as part of a recent humanitarian operation.

Axar.az reports the evacuation was conducted at the “Astara” border checkpoint, adhering to international humanitarian standards. The evacuees completed documentation, border, and medical screenings before safely entering Azerbaijan.

The evacuees expressed gratitude to the Azerbaijani government and people for their care and hospitality. Transportation was arranged for their travel to Baku, and the evacuation of citizens from other countries continues.

Several foreign governments have requested Azerbaijan’s assistance to facilitate the transit of their citizens from Iran through Azerbaijan to return to their home countries.
