Armenia not a transit country for drug trafficking – Baghdasaryan
Although there are still many problems that need solution, we can say that Armenia does not manufacture drugs, is not a transit country for drug trafficking and the level of drug use is low in the country, Secretary of the Armenian National Security Council (NSC) Arthur Baghdasaryan said at the session where the results of the Channel-Caucasus local anti-drug operation were summed up, the NSC press service reported.
Mr Baghdasaryan said that the Armenian police have carried out large-scale work which was summed up at the session of the interdepartmental commission under the NSC Secretary on September 18. The commission, which engages in the fight against drug trafficking, has considerably raised the efficiency of state bodies’ activities in this area.
Armenian Police Chief Vladimir Gasparyan, CSTO Secretary General Nikolai Bordyuzha, Russia's Federal Drug Control Service Director Viktor Ivanov also addressed the session.
