YEREVAN, APRIL 17, NOYAN TAPAN. The Sargis Tkhruni student-youth
union started a struggle against the March 30 decision of RA Public
Services Regulatory Commission, according to which starting July 1,
2007, prepayment cards of mobile communication will be given to
subscribers on the basis of a written contract.
The application addressed to Gorik Hakobian, Chief of RA National
Security Service, read that some provisions of the decision contradict
citizens' and national security.
According to the report provided to Noyan Tapan from the union,
first of all, according to the law "On RA Public Services Regulatory
Body," the Commission should balance the interests of consumers and
suppliers, but the consumers were not given a possibility to express
their opinion to protect their interests.
The decision also contains some non-explained issues, for instance, can
one person buy several prepayment cards, does an under-aged child have
the right to buy a card and to conclude a contract and if not does his
parent have the right to conclude the contract on behalf of the child.
"Isn't this decision made for establishing total control before the
presidential elections and inspiring fear to people in the legal
way?" the application read.
