They found themselves in a difficult situation due to the mistake of the persons who organized the trip.
More than 170 citizens of Uzbekistan who went for Umrah pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia have not yet been able to return to their homeland.
Although they came on a 14-day trip, they faced the problem of returning due to false information from the organizers.
According to the pilgrims, a large part of the group is elderly and suffers from various chronic illnesses. They have asked the Uzbek government for practical help.
The Consulate General has stated that the appeals have been forwarded to the relevant authorities, but it was said the process will take time.
It was also recommended that, if possible, the pilgrims buy tickets for the return journey at their own expense.
