Azerbaijan is becoming the most advanced country in the sphere
of information technologies not only in the South Caucasus and the
former Soviet Union, but also in Eastern Europe, Head of
Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Social and Political
Department Ali Hasanov said at the official opening of Azerfon (the
"Nar Mobile" trademark) new head office.
"Azerbaijan is implementing a big and ambitious project to launch
its own satellite. The country will soon render satellite services
not only to its citizens, but to the entire Eurasian region,"
Hasanov said.
He said opening of a new Nar Mobile office in Azerbaijan and
introduction of new technologies -- despite the company operates in
the country for five years only -- indicate that the country
develops in the right direction. Thus, Azerbaijan, which was
founded by National Leader Heydar Aliyev, and is developing in this
direction, has become one of the most developed and advanced world
countries in short timeframe.
"Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has repeatedly stated in all
his speeches that we want Azerbaijan to secure itself not only in
internal, external, economic, political and social issues and meet
the needs of its citizens, but also become a reliable partner and
one of the developed countries. Today's grand opening of Nar Mobile
office shows that Azerbaijan is really turning into one of the most
attractive, advanced and reliable partners in the world," Hasanov
said.
