The Ministry of Refugees and Repatriations said that in the near future a delegation will travel to Turkey to solve the problems of the migrants.
Abdul Rahman Haqqani, in a meeting with Turkey's ambassador to Afghanistan, called on them to provide work for them instead of deporting Afghan refugees, the ministry spokesman said.
Meanwhile, a number of Afghan refugees in Turkey said that Turkey, Iran and Pakistan are in a difficult situation.
The acting Minister of Refugees and Repatriations met with Turkey's new ambassador to Afghanistan and asked him to provide the Afghan refugees with the opportunity to work instead of forcibly deporting them.
A spokesman for the ministry said that during the meeting, the two sides discussed solving the problems of migrants in Turkey and that an Afghan delegation would travel to Istanbul in the near future.
"Acting Minister of Refugees and Repatriations met with the Turkish Ambassador to Afghanistan and discussed the problems of Afghan refugees in the country. In the near future, an Afghan delegation is also expected to travel to Turkey to solve the problems of the migrants," said Abdul Mutalib Haqqani, the spokesman of the ministry.
A spokesman for the ministry added that Abdul Rahman Haqqani، in a meeting with Turkey's ambassador to Afghanistan، said that in order to address the challenges of migrants، Islamic Emirate refugee attaches’ should be allowed in Turkey.
At the same time, some Afghan migrants have said that they are being persecuted more often by the Turkish, Iranian and Pakistani police.
"In recent days, the problems of Afghan migrants in Turkey have increased, one of the most serious problems here is the arrest of Afghans and harassment by the police, which must be stopped." said Faisal Nizami, a migrant.
"When the Pakistani government sets a deadline for migrants, then the persecution of Afghan refugees in the country has increased," said Ali Hussaini, a migrant.
While there are about two weeks left for the interim government's deadline to deport illegal immigrants, a number of migrant rights activists insist Pakistan needs to reconsider.
"The Afghan government must take action and solve the problems that exist between the two countries in order to reduce the pressure on Afghan refugees," said Mir Ahmad Raoofi, President of the Council of Refugees in Pakistan.
"Afghan immigrants in Iran are not treated well and they can buy a phone SIM card by obtaining legal documents," said Mohammad Khan Talebi, an Immigrant Rights Activist in Iran.
The Ministry of Refugees and Repatriations also reported that on October 16, more than 3,000 people were forcibly and voluntarily returned from Iran and more than 500 families were removed from Pakistan.
