Cooperation of intelligence services of Iran and Armenia is openly
against our country
Iran and Armenia have launched comprehensive cooperation between their
special services, many aspects of which are directly or indirectly
against Azerbaijan. The exchange of intelligence data, deployment of
means of technical reconnaissance, dispatch of agents to Azerbaijani
territories and not only to Azerbaijani through own channels for the
interest of a partner are not a complete list of points of contacts
between "knights of the cloak and dagger" from Iran and Armenia.
In early July, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Reza Sheykh-Attar
paid a visit to Armenia. The high-ranking Iranian guest held a
host of meetings and talks in Yerevan. Amongst people he met was the
secretary of the Armenian National Security Council, Artur Bagdasaryan,
whom Sheykh-Attar handed over a very intriguing proposal on behalf
of the secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council,
Sa'id Jalili: to hold bilateral political consultations between the
national security services.
And at the same time, to expand cooperation between special services
and intelligences in spheres like regular consultations and exchange
of intelligence data. Moreover, Sheykh-Attar invited Artur Bagdasaryan
to Tehran where consultations with Sa'id Jalili will take place and
a relevant agreement would be signed. The Armenian-Iranian "security
summit" is in the offing. However, as Ekho has learnt from reliable
sources, the intelligence services of the two countries already
cooperate in full swing without waiting for corresponding documents
being drawn up and signed.
Technical infrastructure between Iran and Armenia exists
First of all, in a record shortest period on the territory of Armenia
and, naturally, with consent and blessing of the authorities of the
latter Iran has set up an impressive infrastructure of technical
intelligence, incorporating into itself a unique system of optical
radars and passive optical and electronic range finders a part of
which has been manufactured in China, a part in Iran using the state
of the art European technology adopted from France and Germany.
On 18 July, Col Naser Arab-beygi already reported on the erection of
the first section of the state-of-the-art "espionage" system, which
enables Iran both expand own potential of technical reconnaissance and
also significantly increase own knowledge on a "possible enemy". In
particular, the system of optical radars and range finders will enable
"to register" takeoffs and landings of "enemy planes" already at the
earliest stage.
What Iran will actually consider enemy planes and will a helicopter
carrying the next shift to "contractual" drilling platforms fall on
this list, or a civilian "board" performing a regular flight between
Tel Aviv and Baku, this is a question requiring an explanation.
Iran controls the whole region
But at the same time, one can with great confidence quote another
point: Iran has established a network of similar type of reconnaissance
"stations" on its territory which keep under control practically
all adjoining with Armenia countries of the region Azerbaijan,
Turkey, Georgia. So, a station in [the western Armenian town of]
Gyumri "oriented" to eastern regions of Turkey. Another one has been
situated in northern Armenia near the town of Akasar its "zone of
responsibility" includes Georgia. Another two stations emerged in
the eastern Armenia and it is to track Azerbaijan.
Iran pledged to share obtained intelligence data with its partners
and it is hardly that Iran does not understand that for Armenia,
Iranian technical reconnaissance is of great importance exactly in
case of war with Azerbaijan. By the way, cooperation between Iran
and Armenia is not limited to technical reconnaissance.
The exchange of intelligence data, according to information available
to Ekho newspaper, includes analyses of data obtained by official
Tehran from its partners the special services of Syria as well as from
terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, patronized by Iran the point
here is about Israeli weapons systems and tactics which as Armenia is
confident, exported from Israel by Georgia and Azerbaijan at present.
And it is clear that this aspect, apart from other things, should
"calm" the Muslim society in case of information leakage about whom
and against whom Iran cooperates: of course, Israel is involved at
this point and so, for the sake of opposing the "Zionist regime",
one can do everything. Even reach an agreement with authors of the
Xocali [a settlement in Nagornyy Karabakh where the Armenian troops
killed hundreds of innocent civilians on 26 February 1992] genocide
against Azerbaijanis.
The cult of terror exists not for the first ten years, persons
like Vazgen Sisliyan and Varuzhan Karapetyan, not to mention of
Monte Melkonyan, have been raised to the level of national heroes
[in Armenia].
[Passage omitted: reference to historical ties between Islamic and
Armenian terrorist organizations]
In a nutshell, today when Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinezhad, who,
incidentally, before going to big politics, had direct relations to
secret operations of the Iranian mullahkratia, is refusing to visit
the mausoleum of Kamal Ataturk during his visit [on 14 August] to
Turkey, and the Iranian special services from the Armenian territory
is about to spy on Turkey and Azerbaijan - this cannot be accidental
coincidence. However, the most obvious and dangerous case is another
aspect of the Iranian-Armenian cooperation of special services.
[Passage omitted: Reference to illegal businesses in South America]
Cooperation between intelligence services against Azerbaijan and Turkey
Judging by information obtained by Ekho, Iran and Armenia contracted
to cooperate also in the sphere of intelligence-terrorist "coyotes". To
be true, bearing in mind the regional specifics of jackals.
So, Iran is keeping an eye on existing in Armenia, close to the Turkish
borders, secret bases of the PKK [the Kurdistan Workers Party] with
absolutely clear calculation: to use channels of the PKK to infiltrate
its agents first into Turkey, and then to the West, first of all
to Europe, where the PKK has comprehensive and divaricate network
to legalize own agents under the guise of "political refugees". In
exchange, Iran pledged Armenia to transfer its agents through own
channels to countries Yerevan is keen on. First of all, to Azerbaijan.
Here this is an "alliance of jackals" where Armenia has already a
solid experience of such kinds of cooperation. It is quite sufficient
to remember how the Armenian special services sent militants of the
Lezgin Sadval to Azerbaijan tasking them with acts of terror in the
[Baku] metro.
[Passage omitted: Reference to cooperation between ASALA and the PKK]
At the same time, it is obvious that if Turkey and Iran are regional
rivals and an "embarrassing example" of secular democracy in an Islamic
country, then Azerbaijan is a more dangerous "bomb". Therefore, as
an example, the independent Azerbaijan on the northern bank of the
Araz River cannot remain unnoticed in the south where the tension of
the national-liberation movement is already growing.
So, one should not surprise that Iran is engaged in "selling short" in
Azerbaijan, using for this whomever and whatever possible, beginning
Armenia until drug trafficking: drugs from Iran to Azerbaijan are
trafficked very much as it cannot be possible without the connivance
of the official circles.
However, at the same time, one cannot but pay attention to another
aspect. That very "alliance of jackals" made known itself in the region
exactly at the time when Iran is under attention of the whole world,
at least, anyway of the Western political elite in general, and of
the USA, in particular. As the analyses of the current events, in
particular, the hearings on Azerbaijan in the US Helsinki Commission
of Congress show the tension around Iran did not compel the same USA
to forget about the processes in the South Caucasus.
But at the same time, such a state of affairs are hard to be explained
minimum cooperation between Armenia with probably the most dangerous
as of now state-rogue, and moreover, this cooperation envisages
such spheres which a priori cannot be declared "natural relations
of neighbouring states", and moreover "humanitarian and civilian
cooperation". At the same time, it is better not forget that Armenia
within the framework of the Organization of the Treaty of Collective
Security has an access to intelligence data obtained, for example,
from the Qabala radar station, which Russia proposes to the USA in
exchange for the European anti-missile system with all, as the saying
goes, ensuing.
However, the first signs of concern have already emerged: the latest
report of the US Department of State on international terrorism
directly points at concern of Washington with regard to close
cooperation between Iran and Armenia. There remains only hope that by
saying "a", Washington will find the political will to also pronounce
"b" with regard to Armenia.
