The Turkish president has accused the Assad regime of transforming Syria into a 'drug production farm.' Recent investigations have uncovered the largest drug depot associated with the regime, located at a base of the 4th Division, which was reportedly used for drug storage instead of military operations. Containers filled with drugs were found, indicating that the depot was utilized for preparing drugs for transport to neighboring countries. The facility was under the control of Maher Al Assad, the brother of the overthrown president Bashar Al Assad. This discovery highlights the ongoing issues of drug trafficking linked to the Assad regime's activities in Syria.
