In a comment to Turmush, the woman shared that she has been unable to return to Kyrgyzstan for 4 days.
According to Chungulova, she is a person with disabilities and has a 2nd group disability. “I have a stent in my heart. Due to recent events, my nerves are on edge, and I cannot experience too much stress. My blood pressure is rising. It would be good if mothers with children and people with disabilities like me were sent back first.
They say that flights to Kyrgyzstan have started, but only a limited number of people have left. We were given tickets only for March 6, although our tour ended on February 28. Since then, we have been stuck here, unable to leave due to military actions. When I start to get anxious, I take calming medications that I have with me,” she said.
- Recall that the President of Kyrgyzstan, Sadyr Japarov, announced that work on the evacuation of citizens remaining in Middle Eastern countries and unable to return home is ongoing continuously.
The Director of the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Seitek Jumakadyrov, previously stated at a press conference that as of March 2, about 22,000 citizens of Kyrgyzstan are in the Persian Gulf countries.
According to him, a significant number of citizens are in the UAE (about 10,000) and in Saudi Arabia (6,000). “Due to the tense situation in the Middle East, the ministry is working to protect the rights of Kyrgyz citizens in the Persian Gulf countries and is taking all necessary measures. As is known, these are Bahrain, Iraq, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait. This region also includes Israel and Iran,” he said.
According to the latest data, there are currently no injured or homeless Kyrgyz citizens. All citizens are receiving assistance from consuls. There have been particularly many requests for support from Dubai, as there is a large number of tourists there.
