providing fixed-line and mobile phone services, who have already
paid the debt accumulated on their accounts, will not get back 65%
of the paid sum – it will be kept on their accounts as prepayment
for fixed-line phone services.

In a press release submitted to NT, ArmenTel refutes the statement made
by chairman of "Protection of Consumer Rights" (PCR) NGO at the June
6 press conference that subscribers will get back 65% of the paid sum
as fixed-line communication prepayment for making international calls.

To recap, in the period of May 1, 2006 to May 23, 2007, 520
subscribers, to whom international call-related debts were attributed,
submitted complaints to ArmenTel. Previously ArmenTel cancelled the
debts attributed to 400 subscribers for international phone calls
thay had not made, whereas this time the company cancels only 65%
of such debts.

The total amount of debts registered on the accounts of 520 subscribers
who applied to ArmenTel makes 67 million drams.
