3 tons of heroin possibly to be smuggled through Kyrgyzstan - Vitaly Orozaliev

According to him “Afghanistan and Tajikistan have accumulated the significant amount of drugs in frontier zones that will get abroad by warlords in any way.” “Kept earlier will be enough for next 3-4 years in spite of poor harvest of opium poppies in Afghanistan this year. So, our professionals will not stay without the work,” said the head of GSKN KR.

Vitaly Orozaliev noted that “drug dealers have made advance payments for this harvest.” “We have information that they are going to smuggle around 3 tons. It is not improbable that invasion of militants with the purpose to smuggle heroine is possible. All the more 25 militants had escaped in Tajikistan. We have to keep in mind that Tajik guys are well trained physically and they feel themselves comfortable in any mountain regions which is difficult to access. I don’t want to frighten anyone but we have to be ready for possible repetition of 1999 when small groups pierced bearing generally 20-30 kilos of drugs.”
