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".
