    NEW TARIFFS WERE NECESSITATED BY EXCHANGE RATE OF DOLLAR

    The NKR Ministry of Territorial Government and Development of
    Infrastructures confirmed and enforced the new tariffs on fixed-line
    and mobile telephone and the Internet. Karabakh Telecom has already
    changed the tariffs for several times, and the consumers want to
    know how these changes will affect their budget. The deputy minister
    of territorial government and development of infrastructures Arnold
    Abrahamian said the change of tariffs is due to the exchange rate of
    the dollar. Formerly, the tariffs were set in dollars, and the bills
    were paid in drams. It depended on the depreciation or revaluation of
    the dram whether the provider or consumer benefited. The fixed-line
    telephone tariffs did not change for they were set in drams. Arnold
    Abrahamian said the change of the tariffs on mobile telephone and the
    Internet complies with the law. "We act according to the provision
    of the law, making payments in drams. We replaced the dollar prices
    with dram prices because the law provides for payments in drams. By
    the way, the present tariffs are lower than the former tariffs if
    we calculated them in drams," said the deputy minister. As another
    explanation of the changes, Arnold Abrahamian said the prices were
    made to correspond to the tariffs of the two operators in Armenia,
    Vivacell and Armentel. According to the deputy minister, the new
    tariffs on the Internet are favorable for the users, who will pay 20
    percent less than they used to. We asked Arnold Abrahamian about the
    digitalization of the fixed-line telephone. He said the fixed-line
    telephone is in a bad state, and minor repairs are not effective. The
    digitalization is expected to start in spring.
