Ramiz Tagiyev, an adviser to AXCP chairman Ali Kerimli, on 22 August told reporters in Baku that a few weeks ago he had let himself be recruited by security officers in a bid to learn about the government's plans ahead of the 6 November legislative polls.
Tagiyev said that the recent arrest of an opposition youth leader accused of receiving foreign money to overthrow the government is part of an anti-AXCP scheme that aims at securing the ousting of the party's leader, Ali Kerimli.
The 4 August arrest of Ruslan Basirli sparked a wave of anti-opposition protests throughout the country, with pro-government demonstrators demanding the closure of the AXCP.
National Security Ministry spokesman Arif Babayev on 22 August described Tagiyev's accusations as "absurd."
