YEREVAN, JULY 10, ARMENPRESS: A local non-government organization,
called "Union of Public Defenders," announced its plans to launch a
campaign against the Russian-owned ArmenTel telephone operator.
The organization's chairman Aram Grigorian complained at a news
conference today that the company disconnects subscribers' telephones,
even if they fail to pay only for one of Armentel's services, which
he said was a breach of human rights.
He said the organization will try to protect the subscribers' rights by
using legislation and other means. Particularly, it wants to collect
10,000 signatures under an application to present it as a complaint
and a demand to ArmenTel and the Public Services Regulatory Commission.
Grigorian said civil protest actions will be staged also in front of
ArmenTel and the Public Services Regulatory Commission in October
to protest against the company's plans to double the tariff for
fixed telephones.
