Some of them wish to obtain Syrian citizenship and settle there permanently.
According to the Kazakh ambassador to Russia, Dauren Abaev, it is also known that more than ten Kazakh women are currently in camps controlled by Kurdish forces, and they do not plan to return home.
He noted that there are no risks associated with the potential return of former militants from Syria.
This matter is closely monitored by Kazakh security services, which have accumulated significant experience in surveillance, repatriation, and extradition.
According to him, there are no threats to the country's security, as the activities of returnees are carefully tracked.
Abaev added that instances of militants returning from Syria are rare and are under constant observation by law enforcement agencies.
He reminded that from 2019 to 2021, Kazakhstan conducted a humanitarian operation called "Jusan," which successfully brought back 607 individuals, including women and minors. Additionally, 74 female citizens returned home on their own.
Upon arrival, 53 individuals were convicted of crimes related to terrorist activities and their propaganda. The others, for whom there were no grounds for criminal prosecution, were placed in a special adaptation and rehabilitation program.
