ANKARA, Turkey -- The gendarmerie destroyed a record 2 billion cannabis plants in eastern Turkey on Monday (August 10th). The drugs were seized last week near the town of Baskale in Van province, near the border with Iran. Several hundred soldiers helped authorities clear the area. The amount seized could have produced around 50 tonnes of hashish, worth an estimated $34m on the street. (Cumhurriyet - 11/08/09; Anadolu news agency, BTA - 10/08/09)
