As a result of a special operation carried out jointly by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Azerbaijan and the State Border Service, members of another group who tried to smuggle a large number of narcotics into Azerbaijan have been detained, APA reports.
A total of 83 kilograms of narcotics (69 kilograms of marijuana, 14 kilograms of opium and methamphetamine) were found during inspection of the package in their hands.
