Turkish daily Today´s Zaman newspaper (06.03.08) reports the following from Istanbul:
Located between Asia and Europe, Turkey remains the main transit country for heroin smuggling from Afghanistan to Western Europe, an international report released on Wednesday said.

Turkey is the main corridor for heroin consignments destined for Western Europe and the start of the Balkan route, the UN-affiliated International Narcotics Control Board (INCB), said in its annual report for 2007, released on Tuesday. It noted that practically all of the heroin in European illicit drug markets comes from Afghanistan. The southern branch of the Balkan route, which passes through Istanbul, Sofia, Belgrade and Zagreb, is increasingly being used to smuggle Afghan opiates into the Russian Federation and other countries in the region, said the report.


cheers!
PS and they haven't even joined the EU yet!
And the questions is where are theses drugs coming from?
And who is making the money?
Think about that next time you light up a joint!
