high international demand and years of war and struction so says the afghan and the narcotics minister he's up next in an interview with r.t. . we would like to start of course with. the statistics of the meat their production of poppies in afghanistan get us that has always been. at the point of the blame for the dash a community that afghanistan is products at producing a huge amount of drugs and exporting it. to the word but can you just from your point of view what do you think i mean how to tackle these problems but. first i welcome you to afghanistan there's no doubt that the area of plantation song with narcotic crops has increased since military hostilities started in afghanistan i believe that the war was the root cause that forced afghan

people to turn to poppy growing this is the source of most problems afghanistan faces today the afghan government has pledged to put an end to opium production in the country if we study the history of drug production how it spread in afghanistan and what degree it has reached here we learned that about two hundred fifteen hectares of farmland contain poppy crops but thanks to the efforts of the democratic afghan government which i consider to be quite successful we've managed to cut that area to one hundred thirty hector's this year the government intends to further reduce the earliest saumur poppies so as to fully meet its commitment to destroy poppy cultivation but we will be unable to solve this problem once and for all on our own we will need people support in other words we should not be focused only on the question of poppy cultivation it's an international problem and not just the problem of growing poppies in afghanistan for example we realize the poppies are cultivated in afghanistan but then the question arises in what way

about thirteen hundred tons of chemical substances necessary for processing opium into her own illegally get into afghanistan via our country is another exam. that the world consumes ninety five percent of afghan produced opium by contraband while opium consumption in afghanistan accounts for just five percent this proves that not only afghanistan but the whole world should care war on these narcotic substances. over the past six years the afghan government has managed to reduce areas of poppy crops to forty three percent during dart's we almost stopped sowing poppies and seven afghan provinces more than twenty other provinces are fighting to destroy them i would also add that we've worked out a plan to put an end to sowing poppies in several provinces this year as part of efforts to implement this plan we intend to further reduce areas of poppy fields it doesn't mean that we don't have difficulty it's as i said earlier i'm against drugs it's not just

a problem for afghanistan and this is an international problem the world community to realize that it took on allies the situation in afghanistan with a name to organize a campaign against drugs in this region and elsewhere in the world if we consume five percent of drugs then where does the ninety five percent go for example if we manage to quote internal demand what should be done to decrease the constantly growing world demand for drugs therefore we believe that any success in fighting this evil list closely linked to international cooperation on support afghanistan doesn't have enough ability to treat drug addicts we can help only one percent of all drug related patients as the undead drugs minister i admit that i face money tasks i realize that i have responsibilities with regard to the people of afghanistan under the mounts for compensation to afghan landlords who give up poppy cultivation chemical imports are an even bigger problem or the total profits from the drugs trade amount to about sixty five billion dollars

a year all of them go to the international drugs mafia local drug smugglers barely get three percent from votes on if you have the expenses. afghanistan we see that property and this trade are miserable the international drugs maffia gets the bulk of the profits. there is one concept that it's connects somehow the presence of the international forces in afghanistan with the drug trade. there is a talk that there is a possible with all of the international troops who have got to start with exterior . do you think after the withdrawal of the situations of drug fighting what improve. if we look at these things objectively will see that the situation after the war has improved however the afghans don't feel a great deal of prepared to work has to be done it's necessary to train the afghan police and army to fight drug trafficking now that we're down to the post war

period but i assume that everything we can do in this area brings positive results every day i can claim that in recent years the anti drugs ministry has achieved concrete positive results we've detained money drug traffickers this year money more than in previous years the professional training of afghan police and army personnel has also improved if things continue this way i'm sure that by twenty fourteen we will be able to control the entire territorial afghanistan i would like to emphasize one thing under no circumstances is the afghan government going to wage a war against its own people we operate under the model of struggle against terrorism extremism and drugs we see that in our condition foreign aid has turned out to be pernicious for money afghans a considerable part of the country's infrastructure has been destroyed it should be other than a sharp change in the specialization of agriculture is towsley linked to foreign factors perhaps you can see it for yourself the drugs production flourished in the

period of the most intensive military hostilities which led to serious destruction security as well as law and order as a result the illegal sowing of poppy crops increased that's why we count on the cooperation of the world community in the struggle against the save and we won't lay the blame solely on afghan as the afghans are people who want to live in compliance with the law but today they want to use the benefits of peace in the first place. we are now facing the most terrible consequences of the war against terror we witnessed the destruction of all sama bin laden the took place near a military base in pakistan all this should be subject to a more profound analysis such issues shouldn't be tackled superficially. a couple of months back there was a joint operation between the russian forces of. the americans and the. forces of fighting do you think such operations could be.

could be more in future as. joint operations especially from the russian forces. at this moment we're trying to strengthen our law enforcement primarily the afghan police which is predominantly in charge of destroying poppy crops as i said earlier i assume that we've made great progress in this field but more importantly we exchange reconnaissance information we discussed this question with russia already to build up cooperation with moscow in this field jointly we worked out several mechanisms and are applying them ensuring special information this information could help us catch smugglers in and outside afghanistan or in this we rely on help from countries which have experience in this field and your excellency thank you very much for being with us from russia today and we wish started the prosperity and peace and. the trucks that thank you the oyster.
