“The world has sunk into the mire of self-destruction. The drug problem is being spread all over the world. Nations and people perish. Kyrgyzstan is on the drug trafficking route from Afghanistan. It’s natural that the World League “Mind Free of Drugs” was set up here. It’s a great honour for me to be an honorary member of the World League. I’ll try to do what I can to contribute to the struggle against expansion of addiction both in Kyrgyzstan and all over the world. Kyrgyzstan is a small state, and we must save it.”
