Merab Jibutia, representative of the so-called Democratic Forces
of Georgia, was detained in Azerbaijan. He was earlier labeled an
agent of Armenia’s special services by Chief Prosecutor’s Office
of Azerbaijan. It’s noteworthy that another “spy”, Ruslan Bashirli,
leader of Yeni Fiqir oppositional party, was arrested on August 3 on
charge of an attempt to seize the power in the country. He conducted
secret negotiations with agents of Armenia’s special services Merab
Jibutia, Georgi Ispirian and Vartan in Tbilisi.

Detained while attempting to cross the border, the Azeri law enforcers
found no identifying document within him but found instead Armenian
money. The Azeri mass media keeps silent as to what Jibutia was
supposed to buy in Baku with Armenian drams.
