Uzbekistan consulate assists elderly citizen in returning home from Türkiye

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — A 74-year-old Uzbek citizen, who arrived in Istanbul as a tourist and was left without documents and money after being robbed, has been returned to her homeland.

On 4 October, around 20:05, K.G. reached out to the General Consulate of Uzbekistan, seeking assistance in returning home, as she found herself in a difficult situation without funds or documents.

It was determined that the woman had arrived in Istanbul from Tashkent on September 27 as a tourist. On October 4, her wallet was stolen in one of Türkiye’s shopping centers.

Taking into account her age and the fact that she had a return ticket, the consulate quickly issued a temporary return certificate and helped her get to the airport.
