Several long-distance phone providers in Armenia have made a statement against “ArmenTel”, saying that they can’t work under the given conditions “because “Armentel” has cut off over 500 lines of over 100 companies in just one day without notifying them beforehand. These providers are providing services for cheap prices and as a result of the cut-off, people can no longer make international calls and contact their relatives abroad for cheap prices,” as stated in the statement.
