Azerbaijan, Baku, 7 August / Trend News corr. S.Ilhamgizi / The two
years contract on cooperation between the company Karabakh Telecom,
which has been operating in the Azerbaijani occupied territory in
Nagorno-Karabakh, and Turkish communication company Avea CJSC, was
cancelled. This was reported Trend News from the Turkish Embassy in
Azerbaijan on 7 August.
Recently, the Azerbaijani media has released the information that
Karabakh Telecom has signed contracts with companies from nearly 100
countries including the Turkish Avea company.
For this reason the Turkish Embassy in Azerbaijan asked Avea to clear
the issue. The company informed that the address of the Karabakh
Telecom was registered incorrectly in the contract. The mutual
international roaming service was opened on the base of the contract
signed on 13 March 2005. "However, the incorrect address of the
company Karabakh Telecom was revealed on 5 August 2008. The contract
was cancelled in the same day and the international roaming connection
was closed," is stated in the statement by the Turkish Embassy.
The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began in
1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan
lost the control over Nagorno- Karabakh (excluding Shusha and
Khojali) to December 1991. Shusha, Khojali and seven regions had
been occupied. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire
agreement at which time the active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group (Russia, France, and the US) are currently
holding peaceful negotiations.
