Armenia

OTE in licence negotiations OTE, the Greek operator which is the
majority shareholder in fixed-line operator Armentel, for which it
has been seeking a buyer, is to hold negotiations with the Armenian
government in the attempt to resolve outstanding issues. The
government has put off until September 28 the award of a second
mobile licence as a means, it said, of ‘facilitating the conduct of
the negotiations’.
