Due to the aggravated situation in the Middle East, Turkmenistan is taking immediate measures to provide humanitarian aid, providing its territory for the safe exit of foreign diplomats, their family members, and other citizens currently in Iran.

As of today, about 120 people have already crossed the state border through checkpoints of Turkmenistan. Among them are citizens of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Romania and a number of other countries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan reports.

All those who arrived are promptly provided with the necessary support: vehicles for further travel, hot meals, hotel accommodation and essential supplies.

As part of this humanitarian mission, the relevant government agencies of Turkmenistan are closely cooperating with diplomatic missions of foreign states and international organizations.

Such actions in practice confirm Turkmenistan’s commitment to the principles of humanity, international cooperation and good neighborliness, which is especially relevant in the context of the International Year of Peace and Trust, declared by the UN General Assembly on the initiative of Turkmenistan.
