TEHRAN, Dec. 04 (MNA) – The Speaker of Iranian Parliament, Ali Larijani criticized the UN and NATO for evading their responsibilities in regards to war on drug trafficking.

“The UN should assign fair shares of responsibility between member states to avoid burdening the whole costs of fighting drug trafficking solely on Iran,” said Ali Larijani, the Speaker of Iranian Parliament on Monday.

The Iranian top law-maker made the remarks on the margins of the international conference dubbed ‘Parliamentary Members vs. Drugs’ underway in Russian capital city of Moscow.

“It should be borne in mind that it is the responsibility of all countries to be sensitive about this issue while the Islamic Republic of Iran has suffered 4,000 martyrs and 13,000 injured in the war on narcotics,” said the legislator from the Qom constituency.

“I suppose that the cooperation between Iran and Russia in the field of fighting drugs is on a good path, especially in this regard that we have exchanged intelligence officers which is good for tracking and striking them,” said Mr. Larijani.

“The NATO is not meeting its obligations in Afghanistan and we insist that Iran and Russia should follow up this case,” noted the law-maker.
