Azerbaijan continues to intensify its crackdown on illegal drug trafficking, particularly focusing on dismantling local distribution networks and securing transit routes. The Ministry of Internal Affairs frequently conducts large-scale operations in the capital and regional centers to combat the spread of narcotics. In recent years, the Main Organized Crime Department has expanded its technical and investigative capabilities to track organized criminal groups involved in the sale of both synthetic drugs and traditional narcotics within Azerbaijan.
