Armenian national security service promises to provide evidence of
former policeman’s spying for Azerbaijan
YEREVAN, February 6. /ARKA/. Armenia’s national security agency
promises to provide evidence of former police officer Khachik
Martirosyan’s spying for Azerbaijan.
Martirosyan, 60, was arrested on January 31 on charge of treason. The
national security agency said yesterday it possessed irrefutable
evidence showing that the former police officer was seeking contacts
with Azerbaijani and Georgian embassies, established ties with
Azerbaijani special service officers acting under cover of the embassy
and accepted their offer to spy against own country and to provide
military information to them. The national security agency has opened
criminal proceedings against him.
In the press release sent today to Novosti-Armenia, the agency’s press
office says that Azerbaijan’s national security ministry has denied in
the media report any contact between Martirosyan and Azerbaijani
special service, saying the service doesn’t know this man.
“Unlike appropriate Azerbaijani agencies that are ready to perform a
play portraying Mamikon Khojoyan, 77-year-old Armenian citizen with
mental problems who lives in border area as “Armenian diversionist”,
Armenia’s national security makes accusations grounded on facts which
will be presented in court,” the Armenian security agency’s press
office says.
The agency calls on Azerbaijani side not to be so quick in denying
Martirosyan’s fault and to wait for his trial instead. -0—-
