The United States has sent deported citizens to Armenia, Sputnik Armenia reported.
According to the outlet, a Boeing 767-300 aircraft arriving from the U.S. landed in Yerevan in recent days, carrying individuals who had been deported. Armenia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs confirmed the information but did not disclose the number of deportees.
“Individuals who were forcibly returned have been transported to Armenia. At this stage, efforts are underway to clarify their legal status and complete the necessary documentation,” the ministry said, without providing further details.
Preliminary information indicates that the aircraft departed from the United States, made an intermediate stop in Bucharest, then arrived in Yerevan before continuing on to Uzbekistan, where it reportedly transported more than 40 deported individuals as well.
