Tajikistan insists on more active measures against drugs.

MOSCOW , June 10 (Itar-Tass) - The Collective Security Treaty
Organisation (CSTO), Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and
Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) are to intensify cooperation in
the struggle against drugs proliferation, the director of the Tajik Drugs
Control Agency, Rustam Nazarov, said at the conference titled Drug
Production in Afghanistan is a Challenge to World Community on Thursday.
"Tajikistan has a common border with Afghanistan and for this reason
drugs are the most pressing problem for our country," Nazarov said.
According to Nazarov, "it is very difficult to fight with the underground
drug cartels nowadays, because their network is very large and
diversified."
He called for fighting with drug-related crimes not only in
Afghanistan but also beyond its borders. "One should use the potentials of
the CSTO, SCO and CIS to neutralize drugs production in Afghanistan," he
said.
