Kashmiri students stranded in Iran will be brought back via Armenia: Omar Abdullah

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Tuesday said that students of the Union Territory studying in Iran are being taken to Armenia, from where they will be brought back. Abdullah said, I am in regular contact with the Ministry of External Affairs, I spoke to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and he assured me that first of all the students will be evacuated under a plan from areas where there is more danger, especially from Tehran and Isfahan. He told that initially the plan was to take the students to Qom, a less dangerous area, but due to the closure of airports and ports in Iran, now they are being taken to Armenia by land route, from where they will be brought to India.
