The Mar 22 decision to sell the Government’s 10% stake in ArmenTel to
the owner of the 90% stake VimpelCom was a high treason, the leader of
Democratic Route party Arshak Sadoyan

"The first problem our party will solve – if it comes into power –
will be the problem of ArmenTel," Sadoyan said during a
press-conference today. He believes that the Armenian authorities have
put themselves into direct dependence on Russia. This deal will have
negative consequences and we will feel them very soon, Sadoyan said.

To remind, Mar 22 the Armenian Government decided to sell its 10%
stake in ArmenTel to the owner of the company VimpelCom (Russia).
