Head of the Armenian Customs Department Armen Avetisyan says that they have bought technical facilities worth of several million dollars to monitor the mobile phone import capacities and discover illegal imports. According to our information, the monopoly of mobile phone importing business has been given to the monopolist of sugar import business, Samvel Alexanyan. He has already imported some models of new phones (Motorola RAZR V3i Dolce & Gabbana Phone, etc.). The importers of mobile phones cannot import phones any more. As for the importers that have already bought products, they cannot declare their goods at the Customs offices. Furthermore, recently the Police imposed sanctions on the owners of mobile phone shops.
