At a press conference in Yerevan, Alexander Bortnikov, Head of the
Russian Federal Security Service, said that he has no information
confirming the fact of drug trafficking from Afghanistan via the
territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. To note, Bortnikov has come to Armenia
to participate in the session of the Council of Head of Special
Services of the CIS Member States.
"I have no information confirming that Nagorno-Karabakh is a transit
territory for drug trafficking. At the moment, I cannot say anything
about that", he said.
For his part, Gorik Hakobyan, Head of the Armenian National Security
Service, said that such allegations by Azerbaijan are absurd.
Moreover, no countries or structures, except Azerbaijan, have made
such allegations against the NKR, he said.
