YEREVAN, MARCH 23, ARMENPRESS: ArmenTel telephone operator pledged
Tuesday to invest around 50 million euros in upgrading Armenia’s
telecommunications. ArmenTel’ chief executive manager Vasilis Fetsis
told a news conference that some 20 million euros will be invested in
modernizing mobile phone communication, 25 million in improvement of
linear phone services and another 5 million in the development of
information and telecommunications technologies.
Fetsis said the company will try to satisfy the demand for mobile
