Azerbaijan`s Foreign Ministry recommends citizens to refrain from travelling to Yemen
Baku, February 22 (AZERTAC). The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan has warned the country`s citizens against the recent developments in Yemen.
The warning says the anti-governmental demonstrations and clashes between the police and demonstrators started in Yemen`s capital Sana and city of Aden from early February.
The Ministry recommends Azerbaijani citizens to refrain from traveling to Sana`a, Aden, Saada, Dhamar, Ma`rib, Shabwah, Amran, Abyan and Jawf regions: “It is possible to drive a car in Yemen on the basis of international driving license. The driving standards in the country are low, the mountain roads are very dangerous and risky. It is not recommended to drive a car outside the main cities at night. If you want to travel with a car outside capital Sana’`, you must have the permanent permission form Yemen Tourist Police. The travel permission is given within 24 hours and you can easily get it from travel agency. Without this permission, you can be arrested or deported.”
Taking this into account, the Azerbaijani citizens, who want to travel to Yemen, are recommended to be careful and to refrain from traveling to the country if it is not necessary.
The Azerbaijani citizens who permanently or temporarily live in Yemen are recommended to observe the current rules and not to intervene in riots and to appeal to the Azerbaijani embassy in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the embassy`s office in Jeddah.
The addressees of all embassies and consulates of Azerbaijan in foreign countries are available in the Foreign Ministry`s website (www.mfa.gov.az).
