The press office of the Ministry of National Security of Armenia has come out with refutation of the reports in Baku mass media that special services of Armenia are involved in destabilization of the situation in Zakatali district of Azerbaijan. “Arminfo” agency reports it. At the same time the officials of Azerbaijani Ministry of National Security refute the fact that they had sent an agent to Armenia, who suggested using himself to realize diversion and terrorist acts in Azerbaijan. Commenting the attempts of the Azeri special services to repudiate their agent, Chief of the press office of the Ministry of National Security of Armenia Armenak Manukian stated reports on three similar cases had been spread within the last two years. There were much more in the reality. “Corresponding bodies of Armenia have to counter agents sent with such a mission rather often, but this data is not to be made public,” – Manukian stated.
