We are against drugs!

On December 24, 2018 the Branch of the Russian State University of Oil and Gas (NRU) named after I.M.Gubkin in Tashkent city held an event with the participation of the leading expert of the National Information and Analytical Center for Drug Control of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan Mokiy Andrey Valeriyevich.

In his speech, A.V.Mokiy emphasized that: “... however paradoxical it may seem, but even today, in the era of overall transparency, when there was not a single problem, not a single issue that would not be thoroughly dissected in the media, far from all have a clear idea about the problem of drug addiction. And almost everywhere in the world this problem turned into a danger to citizens and government institutions. Information from most countries of the world illustrates that drug abuse has spread to all social strata and age groups, and especially among young people. Children and adolescents are now addicted to drugs at an earlier age than in the recent past. As the socio-economic and moral-psychological situation in our country changes, the expansion of foreign contacts, the openness of borders, the use of the Internet, more and more large-scale and disturbing outlines become problems for young people.

The event was concluded by showing a feature film “The crossroad of ways”  dedicated to the topic of the consequences of the use of narcotic substances.
