There are two children among the passengers.
More than 400 people returned to Iraq from Belarus, trying to Illegally cross the border with the European Union.
This was reported at the airport, Interfax writes.
A Boeing 747-400 aircraft of Iraqi Airways on Tuesday, December 7, flew from the Belarusian capital to the Iraqi Erbil. It is noted that 417 passengers were registered for the flight Minsk-Erbil. Among the passengers there are two children under two years old.
It should be noted that this is not the first flight by which migrants who wanted to get to Europe illegally returned home.
Recall, Belarus provoked a migration crisis on its borders with Lithuania, Latvia and Poland. Illegals from Iraq, Syria and African countries are arriving in Minsk en masse, and the Belarusian border service helps migrants get to the EU. Passing refugees was the Lukashenka regime's response to Western sanctions.
