ArmInfo.On December 4, the NA Vice Speaker  Sharmazanov, at the invitation of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, took part in the international conference  "Parliamentarians against drugs".

In his speech, Sharmazanov stressed in particular: "The problems of  drugs and their illicit trafficking are challenges for the  international community: this crime is closely linked to other  challenges - international terrorism and illegal money laundering."  Given that drug trafficking is a challenge for today's world, it  should be noted that this is also a security challenge.The fight  against this vice requires a single and systematic struggle.The  Republic of Armenia calls for a more resolute fight against this evil  and develop a unified strategy for confrontation I will call in.  Armenia has such an effective experience with the CSTO member  countries, and this conference can open a new page and an opportunity  against this challenge. " He noted with regret that once again  everyone witnessed the falsified and anti-Armenian rhetoric of the  representatives of Azerbaijan. "Instead of inappropriate accusations  of Armenia and Artsakh, it would be advisable to read international  reports on Azerbaijan, but I invite those who participate in absurd  speeches about Artsakh and all international colleagues to visit  Artsakh visit and see that the citizens of Artsakh are building a  democratic, free and sovereign republic," said Sharmazanov, calling  on us to jointly fight against terrorism, lies, racism, drug  trafficking and all international challenges.

At the end, he suggested  discussing  the establishment of the  organization "Parliamentarians against drugs".
