Azerbaijan, Baku, July 27 / Trend H. Valiyev /
The Russian Supervision Commission gave permission for the design of cross-border transfer Russia-Azerbaijan, Synterra group of companies, spokeswoman Ekaterina Andreeva told Trend.
A hearing was held on Synterra's suit to the Russian Supervision Commission. The operator said that it prevented the implementation of cross-border transition Russia-Azerbaijan in connection with the failure of the procedural obligations.
Andreeva said that Synterra's claim was withdrawn in connection with obtaining a permit.
After the decision to build trans-boundary fiber-optic backbone, Synterra received a building permit from the commission on federal relations and information technologies, headed by the Communication Minister Igor Shegolev. The next stage of approval was to be a permit for the design of transition from the Russian Supervision Commission, which refused Synterra to issue a formal conclusion referring to the letter of the Communication Ministry, signed by Deputy Minister Naum Marder .
Azerbaijan appealed to Russia to speed up implementation of agreements on laying trans-boundary fiber-optic backbone between Russia and Azerbaijan, Andreyeva said earlier.
Synterra and Azerbaijan's Azertelekom implement a project on construction of trans-boundary fiber-optic backbone between the two countries in the area of Derbent (Dagestan) - Guba (Azerbaijan).
Today, the Russian part of the infrastructure is fully prepared to completion of the project. Sinterra laid more than 180 kilometers of primary and backup fiber-optic line from the site of its national backbone network in Makhachkala before entering the border area with the Russian side.
