"ARMENTEL" DISCONNECTED TELEPHONES OF THE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATION
Yesterday "ArmenTel" telecommunication monopolist company cut all the telephones of the Ministry of Transport and Communication of Armenia for several hours. As reported by "Arminfo" agency, the company confirmed the fact of disconnection of telephones but did not specify the reason, adding a special commission was created to investigate the case. As it is known, the Ministry of Transport and Communication banned "ArmenTel" to introduce payment by minute for city telephone calls. At the same time "ArmenTel" leadership continues insisting the system of payment by minute remains in force.
