Germany repatriates another 25 Azerbaijani citizens

Germany has repatriated 25 Azerbaijani citizens back to their motherland on May 31.

This was done within the framework of the agreement "On the readmission of persons living without permission between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the European Union", APA reports.

The readmission process was carried out within the rules established by the Operational Headquarters under the Cabinet of Ministers

Appropriate measures in the direction of the reintegration of readmitted Azerbaijani citizens into the local society and solutions to possible difficulties they may face are being conducted by the working group on reintegration, coordinated by the State Migration Service.

In 2014, the European Union and Azerbaijan signed an agreement on the “readmission of persons residing without authorisation.” Since then, over 2,000 Azerbaijanis have been deported from the European Union. Of those, 83 per cent came from Germany, Azerbaijan’s State Migration Service has said.
