MP: Armenian-occupied Azerbaijani territories used to make "dirty money"

Azerbaijan, Baku, 12 June / Trend E. Mehtiev /

Armenian-occupied Azerbaijani territories are used for making "dirty money", MP Aydin Mirzazada told Trend, expressing his opinion on the fact that the Ministry of National Security (MNS) has established the fact of drug cultivation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan to be transited to Iran, and then to Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijan has repeatedly informed international organizations of drug cultivation in the occupied Azerbaijani territories, and sufficient evidence was found in this connection, the deputy said.

"This time there is another serious argument. The groups involved in drug cultivation in Iran have tried to smuggle to Azerbaijan narcotic substances grown in Nagorno-Karabakh," Mirzazada said.

MP added that since Nagorno-Karabakh is isolated from the world and has no prospects for development, these territories are used for earning "dirty money".

"Since these areas are occupied by the Armenian armed forces, large plantations of drugs have been planted there with the aim of making money by smuggling drugs through Iran to Azerbaijan and from there to Russia and Europe. This is no different from the drug trade in Afghanistan," the deputy said.

He pointed out that from an economic point of view, Armenia can not develop the occupied territories and can not solve infrastructure and social problems there.

Nagorno-Karabakh is known as a place of cultivation of narcotic drugs and a training base for terrorists, Mirzazada said.

"In this regard, Azerbaijan has repeatedly given the alarm in its appeals to international organizations, and the operation conducted by the MNS has identified additional evidence for this issue," the deputy said.

It should be noted that over the past few days, the Ministry of National Security of Azerbaijan has detained 12 people involved in the illegal smuggling of narcotics from Iran.

In general, nearly 40.5 kilograms of drugs were found and seized.

It was found that cultivation of certain amount of these drugs was organized in the occupied Azerbaijani territories, from where these drugs were transited to Iran, and then to Azerbaijan.
