“Although illegal migration creates serious social and security problems in a number of countries, the situation in Azerbaijan is under control.”
elchi reports that the head of the State Migration Service, Vusal Huseynov, provided this information during a media tour held on the topic of “Media awareness in the field of migration.”
“Currently, the number of foreigners living in the country is approximately 210,000–220,000. This figure can change depending on the season. For example, due to the increase in tourist flow during the summer months, the number of foreigners in the country is higher. Against the background of this general indicator, the number of people living illegally is relatively small and is assessed as being at a manageable level,” he stated.
