Baku Today / AssA-Irada 25/07/2005 11:16
Major Greek telecommunications company Intracom has decided to
cooperate with Armenia's Divacell cellular communication provider
operating in the occupied Nagorno Karabakh region, in an apparent
move to counter Azerbaijan's recent plans to establish cooperation
with the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
The Greek company intends to invest 28 million euros in Divacell,
Turkish media reported. Interacom intends to open its offices in
Yerevan by September and in Nagorno Karabakh by October, it said.
Turkey's influential Milliyet newspaper, in its story entitled
`Greece takes counter-steps against Azerbaijan', said that the Greek
part of Cyprus has launched a counter-offensive, following
Azerbaijan's plans to open direct flights to TRNC. Official Nicosia
has raised the issue at a committee of the European Union.
The Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan has said it will look into the
issue.
