Baghdad-INA
 
The Ministry of Migration and Displacement (MOMD) warned today, Friday, Iraqis not to fall victim of fraud by companies that deceived them under the title of immigration and asylum.
 
The Undersecretary of MOMD, Karim Al-Nouri, said in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The repercussions of the recent illegal immigration to Belarus and push Iraqis  asylum seekers towards the border between Lithuania and Poland contributed to the decline in Iraqis' turnout for immigration, and also led to the threat of imposing sanctions on Iraq due to problems between The European Union and Belarus, due to Belarus's attempt to stop this large number of Iraqis to put pressure on the European Union."
 
Al-Nouri added that "Iraq has taken serious measures, including stopping  the flights to Belarus , moving flights from Belarus to Iraq for returnees,  and calling on the European Union not to force the migration of Iraqis there, as we hope that the Iraqis will not be victims of companies that deceived them."
 
He noted that "we do not have an accurate number of Iraqis stranded on the border strip at the present time, and they have despaired of granting them asylum."
