SPY

The National Security Service has detected and neutralized activities of spy network operating in Armenia.

There were over two dozen Armenian citizens engaged in this spy network, including Armenian Armed Forces employees. These people were offered to collaborate with the foreign special services, and provide them with the information about the Armenian military.

During the investigation, 19 people were detained on suspicion of high treason, and some of them have confessed.

CAVUSOGLU

In a new interview to TRT Haber TV channel, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu spoke about relations with Armenia and Azerbaijan, Ukrainian crisis development and meeting on Syria.

The FM noted that after the 44-day war, which 'put an end to the long-term Karabakh conflict', the South Caucasus faced 'new realities, opening the way for long-term peace and stability in the region.'

The FM added that the future and destiny of Turkey and Azerbaijan are closely linked.

ERDOGAN

Erdogan expressed hope his work with Israel and Armenia will influence Armenian and Jewish lobby in Washington, said senior director of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies in Washington.
