June 9, 2010
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has appealed to the world to prevent the drug crime from going global, since drugs nurture terrorism, among others things. Practice shows that the lack of an effective struggle against the drug business nurtures other problems, above all, such a terrible problem as terrorism, Medvedev said during the opening ceremony of an anti-drug forum in Moscow today. The forum is titled “Afghan drug production – a challenge to the international community”.
According to the Russian President, the forum is of great importance both to Russia and almost every other nation. The scale of the disaster is illustrated by the fact that the production of opiates has doubled in the past 10 years. Lamentably, Afghanistan is the main supplier of opiates today, the Russian leader added.
He pointed out that the drug threat has gone beyond the borders to sweep Russia and the neighbouring states, as well as a sizeable part of Europe, the United States and Canada.
