The third sector assesses the statement of the MIA regarding drug policy. The ministry responded to the epistle of the Patriarch, where Ilia II draws attention to the change of drug policy.

The ministry says that the new principle of drug policy will be humane, but not encouraging use of drugs .

Non-governmental organizations that have been working in this direction for years say that the Ministry has not been expressed its own attitude towards the draft law, which is submitted to the parliament and which implies liberalization of drug policy.
