Drug trafficking has obviously increased in our country in recent years. According to the spreading statistics, the target of drug dealers are teenagers and young people.
Let's note that the primary target of drug trafficking, which has gained momentum in recent years, is schoolchildren and minors. In RA, a minor has never been targeted by drug dealers, but now and then, law enforcement officers, who were obliged to monitor the situation, have found themselves at the center of the same problem.
Last year, the statistics on the investigators of the Criminal Investigation Department were published, and a few days ago the Minister of Internal Affairs Vahe Ghazaryan announced in the National Assembly that 47 policemen were removed from the system due to drug use, without detailing who those people were, ordinary policemen or officials.
"Any police officer is required to pass a drug test before certification, and we already have cases where police officers have been removed from the system. We fired 47 police officers due to drug use," Ghazaryan said during the hearing.

According to Adibekyan, these penetrated from the street to the most important circles of RA. From the government to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. "Since 2018, the cases of use and sale of drugs have increased 5-7 times.
It was impossible for such numbers to be recorded in the time of the "formers", Adibekyan said in a conversation with LURER.com. Besides, in his opinion, there is another reason here.
"If they fired 47 people because of this problem, I assure you, you can multiply this number by 1000 and you will get the real picture that prevails in the police system," he emphasized, not excluding that these police officers may have been fired. more or less not to speak and not to publicize the orders they received.
"I will advise Vahe Ghazaryan that instead of dismissing people for using drugs, arrest the people who are involved in the distribution of drugs. The importers and sellers are the problem here," he said and added that he does not remember a recent case in which he would open a serious case against drug sellers.
Adibekyan noted that more attention should also be paid to night clubs, where this trade is mainly carried out.
"The future has arrived," Adibekyan concluded.
