American mobile operator MetroPCS cooperates with Karabakh Telecom and offers roaming services in Armenia-occupied lands of Azerbaijan.
The American mobile operator makes gross errors related to the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
It is interesting that the list of countries on MetroPCS Web site (http://www.metropcs.com/) where roaming services are offered does not indicate Azerbaijan while it does indicate Armenia. The list of mobile operators in Armenia includes also Karabakh Telecom.
In other words, the operator considers that Nagorno-Karabakh belongs to Armenia. Moreover, the operator does not only describe legitimate part of Azerbaijan’s territory separate from the country, but also provides roaming services in the occupied territories in a direct violation of all international norms.
Obviously, Azerbaijan’s official bodies should demand not only to correct errors on mobile operator’s Web site, but also to cancel roaming contracts with Karabakh Telecom.
All companies that are engaged in illegal activities in Nagorno-Karabakh should be aware that they violate international rules and regulations.
Today.az readers can express their protest to the American MetroPCS by sending the following sample letter to [email protected]:
To the attention of MetroPCS executives and operators!
You list Armenia as one of the countries where your services work, and also state Karabakh Telecom as one of the operators there. Nagorno Karabakh is an internationally recognized part of Azerbaijan (which is not listed among the countries at all) and therefore cannot belong to Armenia in any way.
We state with full responsibility that Nagorno-Karabakh is an integral part of Azerbaijan as evidenced by international acts. We also believe these errors are not deliberate and urge you to correct them as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance
