Companies to provide cellular services in Upper Garabagh must contact
Ministry
If `Garabagh Telecom’ wants to provide mobile communication services
in the occupied Upper Garabagh region, it must appeal to the Ministry
of Communications and Information Technologies first, Minister Ali
Abbasov told AssA-Irada.
He said that the Ministry has appealed to the International GSM
Association over the illegal activity of Garabagh Telecom and that
the latter will lost its membership in the entity this July.
Abbasov said that this company has already filed an appeal in this
connection, and if it is approved, the company’s membership may be
restored.
`They allege that the Ministry is not capable of providing mobile
communication services in Upper Garabagh’, he said.
Abbasov added that the Ministry has approached the GSM Association
again saying that if Garabagh Telecom sends a proposal to the
Ministry on providing cellular communication services, it will be
considered.*
