TEHRAN- The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Friday that six Iranian citizens who had been imprisoned in Armenia have been repatriated to Iran.
Following the follow-up of the Islamic Republic of Iran's embassy in Yerevan and with the assistance of the Armenian government, the six Iranian nationals were transferred to Iran under the framework of an agreement on the transfer of sentenced persons after undergoing legal procedures.
The repatriation of Iranian citizens is the second such action taken this year, with an Armenian national who had been imprisoned in Iran also being transferred to Yerevan on December 19.
