The spokesmanof the Federal Security Service (FSB) Administration in Daghestanclaimed to the August 15 Kommersant-Daily that Turkey’s IntelligenceService (MIT) is using the territory of Azerbaijan to infiltrateDaghestan, and to make it into a base for its operations in Chechnya.The spokesman claimed that the MIT has set up a liaison officewith satellite communications equipment at Dzhokhar Dudayev’s headquarters. But as evidence he was able to cite only the caseof the hapless Turk, Izhak Kasap, whom the FSB recently expelledto Turkey, as evidence.
