Four women and 11 children were taken away from Syrian "hot spots" into the government-controlled territory, the leader of Chechnya has reported.

The Russian authorities make efforts to bring back to homeland the children brought to Syria and Iraq by their parents, who allegedly joined terrorists. The authorities of Chechnya are actively involved in the activities to return children home. The experts interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot" believe the authorities' activities are effective.

On October 11, three Chechen boys and two girls, whose parents lived in Dagestan, were brought from Iraq to Moscow.

One woman is a native of Chechnya, and her four sons were saved together with her. Three women are natives of Dagestan, and their seven children are brought to the territory controlled by the Syrian authorities. The children are from three months to ten years old, wrote Ramzan Kadyrov in Instagram on October 19.
