Azerbaijan, Baku / Trend , corr K. Zarbaliyeva / The measures for narcotics and psychoactive drugs trafficking provided by the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan will be toughened.

Israfil Aliyev, the Director of the Task Group at the State Commission on Fight against Narcotics and Drug Trafficking, informed that the Head Office on Fight against Drugs made proposals to toughen the measures. The proposals in the form of project will be submitted to the Azerbaijani Parliament (Milli Mejlis) for consideration.

The measures for trafficking of 1 tone of drugs provided by the Criminal Code are the same with the measures for trafficking of 10 gr of heroin. For this reason the fight against the narcotics and drug trafficking does not yield effective results.

The changes will be made in the 26th section of the Criminal Code (Article 234-241)
