Uzbekistan evacuates nearly 60 citizens from Iran
Uzbekistan has evacuated approximately 60 of its citizens from Iran via Turkmenistan amid rising tensions in the Middle East.
Turkmenistan provided its territory for transit and extended significant humanitarian assistance. Favorable conditions were arranged at railway stations, airports, and border crossings to facilitate swift processing and border clearance.
At the instruction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan, round-the-clock operational headquarters have been established at the embassies in Tehran and Ashgabat.
The embassy in Tehran maintains constant communication with Uzbek citizens, while the embassy in Ashgabat organizes border receptions, handles visa and transportation matters, and oversees the repatriation process.
