Another drug plantation was found on an area of five hectares in Azerbaijan's Gushchular village (Shusha district), the Interior Ministry told APA.
The ministry said that after the anti-terrorist activities in the country's Karabakh region against Armenian illegal armed groups [which weren't withdrawn contrary to the trilateral statement signed by Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian leaders following the 2020 second Karabakh war], reports began to be received about the discovery of plantations in the region on which drug-containing plants were planted en masse.
Azerbaijani police officers discovered a hemp plantation on one of the household plots. The drug-containing plants grown on a plantation operating under the name of a farm were inspected with the participation of specialists.
The inspection revealed that in this area, sativa and other mixed varieties of cannabis were grown using an agro-technical method with special care.
Previously, narcotic plantations were discovered in Azerbaijan's Khojaly and Aghdam districts.
