Armenia arrests suspected Azeri spy - Security Service
YEREVAN. July 23
Armenia's National Security Service said it had arrested an Armenian
citizen on the suspicion of spying for Azerbaijan.
Karen Megrabian, 31, who lives in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, had
long been under National Security Service surveillance before he was
arrested on the Georgian border, a spokesman for the service told
Interfax.
"During this time instances were recorded of [Megrabian's] collection
and storage of information on the military potential of
Nagorno-Karabakh that Azeri services were interested in, and of his
passing such information over. In collecting that information,
Megrabian also tried to recruit citizens of the Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic and Armenian military personnel," the spokesman said.
"The Armenian National Security Service is in possession of
documentary evidence that Megrabian was recruited and subsequently
used by Azeri special services that are active on Turkish territory,"
he said.
Megrabian was charged with high treason.
