Sochi summit seeks to break curse of Afghan heroin

Доброе утро, мои уважаемые подписчики. Вас приветствует постоянный ведущий рассылки Национальная и государственная безопасность кандидат политических наук, научный сотрудник Института мировой экономики и международных отношений Российской академии наук Игорь Игоревич Хохлов.

В прямом эфире спутникового телеканала Russia Today я дал развернутое интервью, в котором изложил свою точку зрения по ситуации в треугольнике "Таджикистан - Афганистан - Пакистан".

President Dmitry Medvedev is hosting a summit on terrorism and drug trafficking in Russia's city of Sochi with the leaders of Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Pakistan.

Afghanistan is the world's largest opium producer, and analysts say a regional approach is the key to winning the global war on drugs.

It is the second four-nation meeting of its kind. The first one was held in Tajikistan's capital of Dushanbe last year. Back then leaders focused on cross border projects, security issues and economic recovery of the region.

This year the event's agenda remains the same. Russia is reluctant to get involved in military action in Afghanistan, but continues to seek a role in settling the conflict.

Afghanistan needs political reforms to get back on track, said Igor Khokhlov from the Institute of World Economy and International Relations.

"We have to understand that Afghanistan is not a military problem. It is a political and nation-building problem," he said. "If the situation were military, the problem would have been solved long ago by Americans and their allies themselves."

"President Hamid Karzai and his brother, who is considered to be the top drug lord of Afghanistan, they have their own agenda and their agenda is very different from the one of America, Russia and European countries," Khokhlov added. "The basic problem of Afghanistan is severe corruption and the lack of reputation and respect of the Kabul government among the people."

"In this situation Russia has to deliver this clear message to Afghanistan that political reform is needed to solve the situation and no foreign aid, no military assistance would help to turn the country back on track again and to restore peace in Afghanistan."
