Özet:

The harm and danger created by drugs and stimulants threaten not only individuals but also the people of the country and even the whole of humanity. It is a fact that a certain group of people often come together and commit the crime of manufacturing and trading drugs or stimulants. As a matter of fact, the crimes of exporting or importing drugs or stimulants are generally committed nationally and internationally by being organized. Therefore, the issue of complicity in the manufacture and trade of drugs or stimulants is important. It is of particular importance to determine when those who contribute to the crime will be responsible as the principal offender or aider and when they will be responsible since the punishment is heavy. Moreover, according to the Turkish Penal Code, the penalty to be impose about the person who assists another person to commit offence, is reduced. Based on the definition of crime and judicial decisions in Article 188 of the Turkish Penal Code, it can be said that people who come into contact with drugs by inducement are punished as the principal offender. In the Turkish Penal Code, committing crimes collectively is not accepted as a general aggravating cause. However, the legislator has specifically regulated that the crime of manufacturing and trading drugs or stimulants is committed as an aggravating cause.
