Fourteen children and seven women brought to Chechnya from Syria

Women and children arrived from the Syria warfare zone in Grozny, where they were met by their relatives.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Russian authorities are trying to return the children, who had come to Syria and Iraq with their parents, back to their homeland, since their parents allegedly joined terrorists. On October 19, Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of Chechnya, wrote in his Instagram that four women, one native of Chechnya, and three from Dagestan, and 11 children were evacuated from Syrian "hot spots" to the territory controlled by the authorities of Syria.

"On Friday, the group of the women and children, brought on October 19 to the Khmeimim Russian Airbase, was added by three women and three children. As a result of our representatives' painstaking work, they were found and brought from the city of Efrin to Aleppo, and from there – to Khmeimim," Ramzan Kadyrov wrote in his Instagram.

The age of the children brought today to Grozny today is from three months to 10 years. They were accompanied by Ziyad Sabsabi, the Kadyrov's representative in the Middle East and North Africa.
