  • BAKU: Azeri efforts to bar Karabakh's international telecom accessst

    Azeri efforts to bar Karabakh's international telecom access still fruitless

    Azad Azarbaycan TV, Baku
    4 Jun 04

    [Presenter] The work of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Communications
    and Information Technology to bar the international access of the
    Karabakh Telecom company has been fruitless. In a news conference
    at the headquarters of the New Azerbaijan Party today, Minister of
    Communications and Information Technology Ali Abbasov said that the
    countries offering roaming services are responsible for the issue.

    [Correspondent over video of the news conference] The removal from
    the GSM system of the Karabakh Telecom company, which is operating on
    the occupied [Azerbaijani] lands, depends on the countries offering
    roaming services to the separatists. Minister of Communications and
    Information Technology Ali Abbasov said that Baku's work in this
    sphere was still fruitless.

    [Abbasov speaking at the news conference] The GSM Association can
    deprive them of roaming services. It can appeal to those countries,
    asking them not to offer roaming services to the company. However,
    it is impossible to force them to do this.

    [Correspondent] The minister said that serious steps will be taken
    in the near future to maintain the country's information security.

    [Abbasov] A project is being drawn up to create a new telephone
    and information system in order to ensure the country's information
    technology. After a certain period, I think, the Azerbaijani National
    Security Ministry and the state security department [as heard] will
    take complete control of all this.

    [Correspondent over video] Mr Abbasov said that the new project will
    also ensure the security of Azerbaijani web sites.
