ARMENIAN INTERNET TO GET 3-4 TIMES CHEAPER AFTER CANCELLATION OF ARMENTEL'S MONOPOLY

YEREVAN, MARCH 6. ARMINFO. The formation of a competitive information transfer market will slash the internet costs in Armenia by 3-4 times, says Andranik Alexanyan, the director of Arminco, the biggest internet provider in Armenia.

The cancellation of ArmenTel's monopoly will open quite new opportunities for the local providers. If ArmenTel still wants to stay in Armenia it will have to reduce its internet price and to raise its quality. Otherwise the providers will be forced to lay their own fiber cables. Satellite communication is also a possibility. Any of the above solutions will be positive, says Alexanyan. He says that Arminco has programs to build its own cellular network, to lay a fiber cable to the Georgian border and to create a satellite communication system. The time will show which of the projects is effected. "We have the capacities for all of them, we simply need appropriate legislation."

Besides ArmenTel's cable Armenia has the one laid under TRACECA for Armenia's railroad needs. This cable is not used at full capacity at present but can be after ArmenTel's license is revised. As for ArmenTel's cable, it can transfer 600-800 megabits a second which is much more that Armenia needs today. Alexanyan cannot say why ArmenTel fails to use these capacities.

ArmenTel's 2 megabit channel costs $30,000, 1 km of fiber cable costs $1,000. The distance from Yerevan to the Georgian border is 300 km. To remind, the government's decision to cancel ArmenTel's cellular communication and internet monopoly is taking force May 31. The decision is a response to ArmenTel's violating its contractual commitments on the quality of cellular communication, investments and telephonization.

YEREVAN, MARCH 6. ARMINFO. The intellectuals of Armenia require the resignation of the incumbent President of the country Robert Kocharian. Famous Armenian Conductor Ohan Durian said during the 3rd forum of the intellectuals.

According to him, during the ruling of the incumbent president the corruption developed in the country. Durian stressed that the authorities of the country are implementing a policy which aims to liberate Armenian from Armenia and keep only 0.5 mln citizens in the country for "serving the oligarchs". The fact that a large number of citizens of the country get a political asylum in the Western Europe is the evidence of it. Ohan Durian noted that the political asylum us granted to the citizens of the republic for that reason that the authorities of the countries of the Western Europe know about the absence of democracy in Armenia. "If Robert kocharian wants to be a democrat, he is obliged to eliminate the corruption or to resign of his own will", he thinks. He also called on everybody for whom the future of the country and intellectuals is important, to consolidate and put an end to the terror regarding the intellectuals of the country.

METHOD OF INDIVIDUAL HATRED PROGRAMS PEOPLE ON DEFEAT: AZERBAIJANI POLITOLOGIST

YEREVAN, MARCH 6. ARMINFO. The incident in Budapest has a mediated relation to the Karabakh subject. A politologists Zadrusht Alizade made this statement in his interview to the Baku-based newspaper "Zerkalo." It should be noted that speaking of the "incident," the Azerbaijani politologist meant the murder of the Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan by an Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov.

"No matter how many Azerbaijanis act in such way in respect to Armenians, it will not bring Karabakh back," he said. The politologist said that this way causes a great damage to Azerbaijan. Alizade said that an individual hatred in the absence of an organized state, army and public is counter-productive. "The massacres in Sumgayit, Baku are evidence of it. They gave big advantage in the propagandist war against Azerbaijan," the politologist said.

He said that first of all, it is necessary of feel sorrow for the broken lives of the two young people. They might meet in the battlefield, and it would be knighthood. "The act of Ramil Safarov is not a blood feud. Our vengeance will be liberation of the territories seized by Armenia," he said. The politologist added that several representatives of power try to present the incident as an act of a patriot. However, "the authorities ought to liberate the occupied territories and the territorial integrity as guarantors of the Constitution. In this situation, they would better stress such subjects as false-patriotism and false-heroism" he said.

In response to the question that R.Safarov was subjected to provocation, Alizade said that "it is very easy to lay everything on the provocation." He pointed out the necessity of finding out the reasons that led the Azerbaijani officer to such an act. The initial reason is the conflict which the Armenian party is guilty in. "But not the whole Armenian people, but the political leadership of Armenia that involved Armenians into the heavy conflict," Alizade said. He accused the international structures of refusal from recognizing the guilt of the Armenian party, hereby exerting pressure on Azerbaijan and making it to participate in various cooperation projects, including in the military sphere," he said. "In short, international organizations have factually contributed to this event," he said. At the same time, Alizade added that the relatives of Ramil Safarov must send their condolence to the relatives of the Armenian officer in conformity with "the old traditions of our people, religious postulates."
