ArmenTel employees are rather concerned since morning because the
company requires filling in a rather detailed questionnaire on personal
information. Not only does the questionnaire ask information about
the employees but their family members and relatives, too.

Rumors are spread that the employees having relatives in contender
VivaCell will be dismissed. Some even say the owner of Vimpelcom has
relations with the Russian Federation special services and creates
files on everyone.

Hasmik Chutilyan, ArmenTel press secretary, said, "No surveys are
conducted in the company."

Our sources says that the situation is connected with tougher
competition between ArmenTel and VivaCell, on one hand, and
problems connected with using Be Line brand in Armenia, on the other
hand. Collecting personal information, the company aims to unveil
possible leaks of commercial information to the rival and, why not,
to execute non-formal administration of some employees.
