    Azeri soldiers involved in drug trafficking in Afghanistan


    [Presenter] Azerbaijani soldiers are engaged in guarding opium
    plantations in Afghanistan along with US invaders, an informed source
    reports.

    [Correspondent] In reaction to the Azerbaijani media campaign that
    accuses Iran of involvement in drug trafficking and the arrest of
    Azerbaijani believers linked to it, an informed source has said that
    the expansion of drug trafficking is a policy seriously pursued by
    some Azerbaijani political circles.

    Touching on the fact that Azerbaijani soldiers are serving in
    Afghanistan are under the control of US forces and that the number of
    opium plantations in this country has increased by 40 per cent
    following the deployment of foreign servicemen to Afghanistan, the
    source said that the Azerbaijani government had sent some of its
    soldiers serving on the front-line in Nagornyy Karabakh to Afghanistan
    to help the USA achieve its purpose. The USA's military campaign in
    Afghanistan is aimed at dealing a blow to regional countries,
    especially Iran, by increasing the production and smuggling of drugs.

    The clear reason for Baku's involvement in the US policy of expanding
    drug trafficking in the region is that in their propaganda about
    drugs, the media of the Azerbaijan Republic are not saying anything
    about the sources of drugs, that's to say Afghanistan, and their main
    factor, that's to say the US military presence in Afghanistan, and are
    accusing Iran, a country which is resolutely fighting drug smuggling.

    In terms of its geographic position, the Azerbaijani Republic and Iran
    are located on the route of a mafia group engaged in drug trafficking,
    the source reported. According to the source, since the occupation of
    Afghanistan by the USA in 2001, special flights carried out by the USA
    and the UK from military bases in Afghanistan have been aimed at
    transporting narcotic substances. The Azerbaijani Republic's air space
    and airports are also being used for this purpose under the pretext of
    partnership with NATO.

    [Passage omitted: The source also says the conduct of the Eurovision
    Song Contest in Azerbaijan is aimed at distributing narcotic
    substances among young people and that journalists like Anar Bayramli,
    a correspondent of the Baku bureau of the Iranian Television and Radio
    Organization, are being arrested in Azerbaijan for disseminating
    information about this]
