The number of detainees, which was 50,000 three years ago, has exceeded 80,000 in prisons.
Although the number of arrested criminals is boasted, the size of the figure once again reveals that our society, which is plunged into a drug swamp, cannot be governed by the principles of morality and spirituality.
NEARLY DOUBLED IN 3 YEARS
Soylu, "There are currently 88,000 people inside from drugs. We are fighting big. We detain 3,500-4,000 people every week. Most of the insiders are sellers. We push them off the market so that they don't haunt our children. But someone is offended," he said.
Soylu, in his statement in 2018, announced the number of drug convicts in prisons as 50,000. The increase in the number of people caught for drugs in 3 years, caused people to asked "Where are we going as a society?"
THE PRIMARY MUST BE PREVENTING THE ENTRY OF DRUGS INTO THE COUNTRY
With the selfless operations of our law enforcement officers, drug dealers and dealers described as drug dealers are caught one by one and thrown into prison. As Minister Soylu stated in his statements, the number of drug convicts sentenced to prison is increasing day by day. So what is being done to bring these drugs into the country and stop production? Security experts warn that preventing the entry and exit of drugs into our country, which is at a key point in the world's drug traffic due to its geopolitical location, is the most essential task that will affect the entire struggle.
NUMBERS ARE HUGE
It is stated in various reports that there are 5 million people who use drugs in Turkey, which is one of the youngest populated countries in the world, and 2 million people are addicted. It is stated that millions of our youth are vulnerable to drug addiction. The fact that the success rate in drug addiction treatment is only 3 percent in Turkey creates a serious disadvantage for the fight against drugs. Drug addicts, who cannot find the cure they seek in addiction centers, continue to ruin their lives by clinging to drugs after unsuccessful treatment. In order for the fight against drugs to be successful, an effective addiction treatment method must be developed.
DRUG NEWS GRIPPED THE NEWS AGENCIES
The news agencies that serve news to the media units in Turkey serve dozens of drug news from Turkey's 81 provinces every day. In these news, marijuana, heroin, bonsai etc. Topics such as mass seizure of poison types, catching and prosecuting drug dealers are discussed. The fact that there is so much news about drugs reveals how wide the effect of drugs in society is.
REMEDY AND SOLUTION ARE ETHICS AND SPIRITUAL MOVEMENT
As with all kinds of immorality in our society, there are many reasons for the spread of drugs. At the beginning of these reasons is the fact that the society, which has a capitalist consumption culture, is gradually being dragged into a materialistic understanding. Our people are led to a luxurious and fun-loving life with negative perception operations led by the media. Needing more money to make new expenses, thousands of people who cannot get their share of spirituality are greedy to satisfy their lusts by doing drugs. The fact that barons dealing with drug trade are presented as role models to society as if they were exemplary people in superstitious television series watched by millions also creates the psychological dimension of the spread of drugs. It seems possible to eradicate the drug sickness from our holy lands, which are watered with the blood of martyrs, by implementing a full moral and spiritual mobilization from seven to seventy.
THE SWAMP NOT DRYING BUT GROWING
With the operations of our law enforcement officers, drug dealers and dealers described as drug dealers are caught one by one and thrown into prison. As Minister Soylu stated in his statements, the number of drug convicts sentenced to prison is increasing day by day. So what is being done to bring these drugs into the country and stop production?
