Mobile operator of Iran Telecommunications Kish Company has signed a
roaming agreement, contradicting the international norms, with Karabakh
Telecom operating in the occupied Azerbaijan's territory Karabakh.
APA reports that Nagorno Karabakh is shown as Armenia's territory on
the official website of the company.
Besides, Gemini network LTD producing phone cards (GeMobile) in
Lithuania also made it available to phone to Nagorno Karabakh and
other occupied regions of Azerbaijan. European subscribers can contact
Nagorno Karabakh and the occupied regions of Azerbaijan through these
phone cards.
The website (http://www.gemobile.lt/?lang=ru&country=99&am p;rage=rrice)
of this company also shows Nagorno Karabakh as Armenian territory.
The situation is the same in Russian company Telekomtrade
(http://www.pomortel.ru/ipciahtml). The company allows to phone from
Russia to the occupied Azerbaijani territories. The company's website
also shows Nagorno Karabakh as Armenia's territory.
Press secretary for Iranian embassy in Azerbaijan Majid Feyzullahi
Kish said the Telecommunications Company was a private organization.
"I suppose the company did it because of the lack of information,
not on purpose," he said.
Azerbaijani ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Iran
Abbasali Hasanov said they would investigate the cooperation between
Telecommunications Kish Company and Karabakh Telecom.
First secretary of Lithuania's Embassy in Azerbaijan Viliyes Samuela
told APA that he would inform his country's Foreign Ministry about it.
He said Lithuania's policy in connection with Azerbaijan had not
changed.
"It is a private company. It may have happened mistakenly and due to
the lack of information," he said.
Spokesman for Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Khazar Ibrahim said that
relevant instructions would be given to Azerbaijan's diplomatic
missions in these countries.
