PSRC: Armenia and Artsakh will create a single price system in the  field of telecommunications

ArmInfo. Armenia and Artsakh will create a single price system in the field of telecommunications. On August 8, after a government meeting, the chairman of the Public Services Regulatory Commission (PSRC) Garegin Baghramyan told  reporters.

According to him, work is underway to further reduce roaming tariffs  between Armenia and Artsakh. As the head of PSRC noted, tariffs are  high, and there is a need to reduce them. "There is already an  agreement that from January 1, 2020, a gradual significant reduction  in tariffs will be carried out with a frequency of six months: the  first reduction on January 1, 2020, then from July 1, 2020 and  another one from January 1, 2021," Baghramyan said . He added that a  conversation was held on this issue with the Karabakh Telecom  operator in Artsakh.

Garegin Baghramyan noted that the price of pairing the network will  decrease by 1 dram per year.  According to the head of PSRC,  negotiations will continue in the near future to establish a schedule  and determine the period by which a single pricing policy between  operators should be introduced.

To recall, earlier, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan returned to this  issue. "The ultimate goal of this process is the task of creating a  single tariff system in Armenia and Artsakh," Nikol Pashinyan wrote  on his Facebook page.
