‘Iranian spy network in Azerbaijan busted’
ISTANBUL (AA) – An Iranian spy network has been busted in Azerbaijan, State Security Service said.
Five Azerbaijani citizens who were part of the network were arrested for treason, the security service added in a statement.

The fourth person who was arrested allegedly shared details about the “political and social processes in Azerbaijan,” as well as information on the location, type and command level of Azerbaijani military units to the Iranian intelligence in exchange for money.
The fifth person allegedly determined the location of Azerbaijani citizens hiding in Iran.
