This is another cheap Armenian provocation: Azerbaijan's National Security Ministry

21 October 2009 [14:55] - TODAY.AZ
The Azerbaijani National Security Ministry says reports about the arrest of a person in Armenia engaged in espionage in favor of Azerbaijan are nonsense.
"We do not know this man. It is Armenia's another cheap provocation. We do not comment on such absurd reports," the Ministry's Spokesman Arif Babayev said.

News-Armenia website reported with reference to the Armenian National Security Ministry that Gevorg Hayrapetyan suspected of cooperation with the Azerbaijani special service was arrested in Armenia.

Hayrapetyan is a lieutenant colonel in reserve. He was dismissed from the Armenian armed forces for a gross violation of military and service discipline in 2007.

The relevant agencies filed a suitcase on Hayrapetyan under Article "High treason in the form of espionage".

According to the report, the officers also detained a foreign citizen, through which Hayrapetyan contacted with the Azerbaijani special services.
