Deputy Minister of Interior Mehmet Aktaş criticized "drug" news by saying, "It's a mistake to generalize and say 'the age of drug use has dropped to six' when reporting on someone as young as 6 years old using drugs."

About 126,000 people are behind bars across the country for drug-related offenses, the interior minister has said.

The police surveyed over 31,000 people who faced legal action for drug-related crimes last year.

Direct deaths related to drug use are declining, while detentions are increasing, according to Minister Soylu.
