/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia’s largest mobile phone retailer Evroset is
quitting Armenian and Moldovan markets. "Shops in Armenia have already
closed. Final closing procedures may last 2-3 months. The company took
such decision considering profit volumes, which do not exceed 1% of
the company’s total income in both countries," Euroset Press Secretary
Natalya Aristova told a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent. According to
her, the company plans to focus on the markets operating in Russia,
Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Bealrus.
In 2006, Euroset launched its services in Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan,
Moldova, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Armenia, Georgia and
Azerbaijan. It quitted the latter country’s market having worked there
for less than 6 months. The company accounted for such decision by the
fact that Azerbaijan drew more profit from second hand phone sales,
considering the large number pirate copies.
