(AP) - Security authorities said Wednesday they arrested an Armenian man who was allegedly working as a spy for neighboring Azerbaijan - Armenia's longtime enemy.
The press service for the National Security Service did not identify the man, say when he was arrested or explain the circumstances under which he was arrested.
Last fall, a Yerevan court sentenced four Armenians to prison sentences ranging from six to 14 years after convicting them of espionage.
Relations between the two former Soviet republics are extremely tense, due to their long running conflict over disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave, a region located within Azerbaijan's borders that saw a six-year war in which ethnic Armenian troops drove Azerbaijan forces out.
