STORYLINE:
More than one hundred Iraqi migrants, who had sought for a better life in Finland, returned home on Thursday, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry said.
Some of them said they were homesick, others could not find a proper job.
The 103 migrants were received by Iraqi officials at Baghdad International airport.
Among those who fled the conflict-ridden country since the US-led invasion in 2003 are some 8,000 physicians, most of them specialists.
Their departure has further crippled a health care system plagued by corruption, mismanagement and a lack of equipment and drugs.
