a new player joining the fight a central asian drugs quartet's been formed here in moscow with russia pakistan and pledging support to kabul on the sidelines of the meeting r.t. talked to the afghan drugs chief in a special interview next. i wanted to have million russians are addicted to heroin afghanistan produces ninety percent of the drug a un resolution describes the flow from this central asian country as a threat to international peace and stability here with me today is the afghan counter anacortes minister. thank you very much minister for being with me today. thank you i'm glad to talk to you. today the ne a while you're more than dry says about sixty five billion dollars that's five times bigger than the country's national budget who is behind this industry who

takes the most benefit from it and instead we do it. out of the afghanistan itself as a victim of that evil afghanistan as a country with nine hundred sixty thousand drug addicts which is why we say afghanistan as a victim of drugs it's a great evil for our country smugglers make huge profits we can say for certain and prove that international terrorists are active in the part of afghanistan where opium is grown and drugs are manufactured these are the most problematic areas of our country home on provinces one of those there is no doubt that afghanistan was responsible for ninety percent of the world's opium production or opium is grown and provinces that lack security they are the most troubled provinces there are international terrorist groups there that are very active we have already managed to cleanse twenty provinces of opium they are now ruled by law we don't have any problems with those provinces do minister say that the international terrorists

mistaken the most benefit from it right that's correct. let us judge fairly afghanistan as a major manufacturer of opium responsible for ninety percent of it on the other hand it's obvious that the poppy is grown in the most restless areas this proves that there is a link to international terrorist organizations on the taliban studies indicate of the taliban receives one hundred twenty five million dollars from drug exports therefore we can say international terrorists the taliban and organized crime groups are involved those involved can be divided into two categories those inside the country and foreign groups with certain connections the international terrorists on crime groups encourage opium farming afghanistan only produces opium which you made out of tubes or precursor. to turn it into her own up to thirteen hundred tons afghanistan does not produce them where they come from obviously there's an international network trafficking these precursors that's why we say

that the drug problem is not localized in afghanistan it's international when we say that millions of russians die from drugs nine hundred sixty thousand afghans are addicted to. afghanistan's efforts alone will not be enough afghans consumed five percent of the drugs while the other ninety five percent are exported that's why we insist on international cooperation in the struggle against drug trafficking what is your strategy for fighting the up in trade more. the drug problem has a domestic on an international side according to the strategy we've developed to fight opium exports we're trying to help our peasants financially so that they don't have to grow opium poppies most afghan peasants eighty percent of them are extremely poor they have very little land so they grow the poppy to make a living the other twenty percent are major landowners who rent out their land plots for opium farming and and. out of this group thirteen percent are landowners involved in drug production to get poor peasants to give up opium farming the

government has devised on a program encouraging them to grow other crops such as wheat but we need international support all also important in the strategy is the reduction of demand for drugs we also intend to take measures to increase the efficiency of our law enforcement structures which help fight the scourge but what concrete steps to take more of them which are. the counter-narcotics ministry persists on regional cooperation now joint bilateral operations against drug dealers are carried out in the country along with iran and pakistan what operations were to decus town are also in our plans in the past four years thousands of tons of narcotic drugs have been seized talking about concrete steps and international support to russia advocates burning their poppy crop why cannot this be done. before i can say specifically that there are certain problems in the areas where

the afghan government can do something against the opium poppy it has done so twenty provinces have been cleansed of opium plantations however in a province as war is going on with international coalition forces present the afghan army and the afghan national police force certain problems are there and there are areas where the afghan government is not in control in this respect earlier one hundred ninety seven thousand hectares of land were used to grow opium poppy that figure has been reduced to one hundred twenty three thousand. and or a forty seven percent drop progress is apparent if we destroy the opium fields this would result in under the angry children of those farmers would take revenge and join the taliban these problems did exist are existing and will exist therefore if we manage to cut opium production by forty five percent it's only one aspect as a result of this reduction opium prices have soared by two hundred percent which by itself proves there is a huge demand which in turn is an incentive for the farmers to grow poppies

destroying opium fields doesn't help it's not the solution at the same time i'm not saying i'm in favor of poor peasants growing opium poppy but it is a problem that our society has to face poor people have the right to live and to earn a living they must be offered an alternative and they must be helped so they could give up growing poppies this way we can solve the problem afghans themselves never grew poppies before the problem came to the country together with the war it's the result of the impoverishment brought on by drought on the one hand and by war on the other on the poppy has a very short time to harvest that's why they chose that way and you've mentioned terms of agriculture the e.u. and us donate about half a billion dollars to a turns of agriculture in afghanistan each year but many believe they smile disappears into a corrupt political system can you explain how this happens. fighting drugs is very complicated done it requires a very comprehensive approach it's obvious that efforts taken so far by the

government of afghanistan have brought some results in twenty provinces the poppy has not grown any more also five thousand drug dealers are now in jail help us also been provided to poor peasants regional corp has of course been very helpful that we see the provinces where the war still rages on where there is no security account for ninety eight percent of all poppy and opium production so this is the huge problem that there is no security in those regions. so ken the country is donating their money to get a stand be sure that they smile it will go to what it is supposed to go. about what you've mentioned donated money disappearing i should say of all the money allocated towards fighting drug crimes the afghan government spends twenty to thirty percent with the remaining seventy percent spent by the donors themselves they have their own projects which they found themselves so if you're talking about

international cooperation international afros in fighting drugs so who are going to stuns key partners in this war with. the biggest donors the usa and also britain how does afghanistan a great deal but still this help is not enough and should be expanded besides i think that the efficiency and capabilities of anti drug police in afghanistan should be increased the capabilities of grown recently but it's not enough similarly drug police and are having the same problems now and that country needs help to solve a joint efforts could bring tangible results yes and better to going to start very claims you are associated with the drug mafia in afghanistan and that he bought support for elimination to rate of eighty fifteen thousand dollars a vote what do you say to these accusations. i have not heard carl icahn very say anything about me i'm not sure he may have said anything of this kind because he is very pleased with my work and we have closely cooperated with each other he has

always encouraged us and has taken an active part in the fight against narcotics i have always worked in a transparent way clearly and precisely there have been no accusations against me and my work is transparent for the first time in history the russian diplomat has had in the united nations office on drugs and crime what difference do you think will his appointment make to the war on afghan trott's the fluid. united nations drugs and crime office is an independent organization within the u.n. it's up to him to lead it we will wait and see how efficient his work will be we hope to work together and with good results. u.s. general says that president karzai is the missing link in the war on drugs in afghanistan that his inaction has allowed herin flourish as his accountant aquatics minister would have to say to that. president karzai has been responsible in

fulfilling his duties and the results are there twenty provinces i told you earlier have been cleansed of opium poppy some progress has been made in other areas president karzai attitude to these problems is a very responsible i don't agree with what general mcneill had to say. according to the agreements reached before twenty fourteen the afghans will assume responsibility for security in the country i am sure when they've assumed one hundred charge of their own country the efficiency of their work will grow at the same time i can assure you of the struggle against international terrorism or narcotic drugs is not a matter of one or two days it's a very long process this fight will continue for that international efforts are needed to have bases abroad destroyed afghanistan will be fighting for the hearts. thank you very much minister for the time we wish your country and afghan people peace and prosperity in the nearest future thank you very much.
