“They have done a very credible, excellent job,” Daniel Rosenblum, U.S. Ambassador to Uzbekistan, told VOA.
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev began humanitarian operation Mehr in 2019 to return noncombatant citizens from camps in northeast Syria held by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.
Five operations since May 2019 have repatriated 435 women and children, mostly from Syria but also from Iraq and Afghanistan, including 343 minors aged 1-15.
The Uzbek government does not provide data on how many people have joined extremist militants overseas. Government studies estimate thousands, however.
