Khujand. IAA "VARORUD". Madina Saifidinova. Most of criminals dealing with narcotics "specialize" in heroin.

Most drugs smugglers prefer to sell hard drug as heroin, informed journalists Sheravliyo Mirzoavliyoev, a chairman of Anti Drug Department of Sughd oblast.

According to him one of the reasons of such tendency is high cost of such kind of narcotics. "In Afghanistan a kilogram of heroin costs $500 US. As a result of operational investigation we found out that a kilo of heroin in Tajikistan costs more than 10 thousand US dollars, in Russia it is 50 thousand US dollars, in England its price increased to 200 thousand US dollars", - said Mirzoavliyoev. He also has mentioned that the production of heroin is very simply and it has no any smell and weighs quite light.
