 Iraqi National Security Adviser confirmed that Iraq does not encourage its citizens to immigrate, indicating that Baghdad International Airport is intended for legal travel only. This came in response to the European Union's request regarding the illegal arrival of immigrants to Lithuania. 

A statement by the National Security Adviser, stated that "Iraq does not encourage its citizens to immigrate, but some Iraqi tourists are deceived by illegal immigration gangs and approve immigration. 

 Added, "Baghdad International Airport is intended for legal travel only, as Belarus legitimately and legally allows Iraqi tourists to enter its lands, so the Iraqi state cannot prevent its citizens from traveling to a country legally, and no country in the world can prevent its citizens from traveling Legally, therefore, flights heading to Belarus through Baghdad International Airport are legitimate and legal flights, and the arrival of Iraqi tourists to Belarus is also legitimate and legal. 

 pointed out that "there are a small group of Iraqis who are being deceived, and they cannot be a reason to prevent all Iraqis from traveling to Belarus, because this would be an illegal decision and not in line with the Iraqi constitution and the International Charter of Human Rights.
