Bahrain Tribune – 25/05/2004

Batelco mobile users travelling to Armenia will now be able to make
and receive calls while they are there, thanks to the deal struck
between Batelco and Armenia Telephone Company (ArmenTel) in Armenia.
Roaming facilities between Bahrain and Armenia took effect last week.
The signing between Batelco and ArmenTel preceded the start of
operations between the telecoms companies.

Ebrahim Al Sayed, acting senior manager mobile services at Batelco
said: “We have been working to expand the international network that
our customers are using for roaming services. The signing of this
agreement increases the already substantial reach Batelco’s mobile
users have… Our aim is to provide a network for our customers that
encompasses anywhere they might travel to. The recent signing has
allowed us to extend the scope of international roaming connections
for Batelco mobile customers by a significant amount.”

Batelco now has commercial roaming agreements with 103 countries and
248 operators.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
