TEHRAN - The General Manager of the Hormozgan Foreign Nationals and Refugees Affairs Bureau, Yousef Farzin, said on Tuesday that over 376 Afghan refugees have been repatriated to their homeland from Hormozgan province since the start of the U.N.-assisted Voluntary Repatriation Program for Afghan Refugees.

He said the refugees, who returned in 81 batches, made their exit via the Dogharoun and Milak border checkpoints.

He said the process of Afghan repatriation has so far been positive, and that the process could even move faster due to the returning stability in that country.
