/PanARMENIAN.Net/ No negotiations are conducted on the topic
of restarting cable-laying works from Turkey to Armenia at
the moment. As ArmentTel’s spokesperson Anush Bagloyan told a
PanARMENIAN.net reporter, the agreement reached with the Turkish
Telecom on constructing the optical highway to provide Armenia with
alternative communication source, has been suspended for indefinite
time. According to Anush Begloyan, particularly, the talks were
dragged out by the Turkish company.

At the same time, negotiations with the Turkish side enabled the
Armenian telecommunication company to bring to a new level the
relationship with partners who provide Internet channels via Georgia,
she said.

"We conducted effective negotiations with partner companies resulted
in renting four additional channels, which enable to greatly increase
the data throughout of our network," stressed Ms. Begloyan.

"In respect to further negotiations with Turkish operator, at this
moment they are suspended and we don’t see necessity to speed them
up in terms of business. If Turkish side makes new suggestions, we
will discuss them and make a decision, taking into account our users’
interests," she said.
