The Azerbaijani Ministry of Communications and High Technologies will put pressure on mobile operators in the country to solve the problem with traffic exchange between their own networks, Azerbaijani Minister of Communications and High Technologies Ali Abbasov told media on April 17.

"The tariffs for the traffic exchange among mobile operators have declined in early 2014," he said. "This must affect the reduction of tariffs for mobile services rendered to the end user."

"Unfortunately, this has not happened yet," he said. "We believe that this is inadmissible as the tariff is regulated at the level of the Tariff Council and the Cabinet of Ministers. We will take coercive measures, by using the legislative base for the cost of traffic exchange among operators to comply with the established rules. This will inevitably affect the reduction of tariffs for mobile communication services in Azerbaijan."
