About a thousand Tajik citizens who are trying to legally enter Russia are being held in Moscow airports in inadequate sanitary conditions. This is stated in a statement by the Tajik Ministry of Foreign Affairs, UNN reports. 

Details 

 According to the Tajik Foreign Ministry, as of the end of the day on April 27, 954 of their citizens are stranded at Moscow airports. Among those stranded  are students. They are being held in inadequate sanitary conditions, the ministry noted. 

After hours of waiting, only 322 of them were allowed through the border control. 306 people are reportedly to be sent back to their home country.

"Such restrictive measures are applied exclusively to Tajik citizens," the country's agency emphasizes.

A difficult situation is also observed at the Zhukovsky, Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo airports of the Russian capital, where dozens of Tajiks are being held in detention centers without proper conditions.

The consular service of the Tajik diplomatic mission in Moscow has opened a round-the-clock operational headquarters.

Recall 

Last week, the Tajik authorities urgently advised their citizens to temporarily refrain from traveling to Russia unless absolutely necessary, without specifying the reasons.
