Georgian Azeri jailed on spying charges
A Baku court has sentenced a Georgian national of Azerbaijani descent
to 14 years in prison for spying for Armenia and planning to plot
terrorist acts in Azerbaijan’s oil and gas facilities and metro
stations, the APA news agency has quoted the Azerbaijani National
Security Ministry as reporting.
The ministry said that before his cooperation with Armenian special
services, Khalilov had travelled to Armenia carrying goods there.
Following his meeting with a police colonel in Armenia, Khalilov
agreed to cooperation against Azerbaijan, the ministry said.
The report also said that Khalilov had made several visits to Baku to
explore the possibility of terrorist attacks before his detention by
Azerbaijan’s special services on 11 March 2006.
