Turkcell deal in doubt as Iran seeks other partners
An AFP newswire article on Yahoo! News reports:
Iran said it had given the green light for negotiations to start with other potential partners to create a second mobile telephone network, throwing into doubt a deal it had already signed with Turkish firm Turkcell.
The comments by Minister of Communication Ahmad Motamedi were the latest twist in the protracted wrangle between Iran and Turkcell over the project.
"Turkcell's participation in the second operator of mobile phones has not been cancelled but the Iranian partners of the project have received permission to start negotiations with other consortia," Motamedi was quoted by the student news agency ISNA as saying.
"This decision is because we have not received a positive response from Turkcell yet," he noted Wednesday.
