Turk Telekom To Offer Bid For Kyrgyztelecom Tender

ISTANBUL - Turk Telekom, Turkey`s largest fixed line phone operator, said Friday it will participate in the tender to buy Kyrgyzstan`s state-owned telecom company.
Kyrgyzstan plans to sell 78 percent shares of state-owned Kyrgyztelecom.
Turk Telekom CEO Paul Doany said Turk Telekom completed technical studies for the Kyrgyz telecom tender, and it will bid.
Meanwhile, Avea, Turkey`s third largest mobile phone operator which is owned by Turk Telekom, said it will compete in the tender for Turkish 3G licences.
Last year, Avea and Vodafone did not bid in the tender for 3G licences, leaving Turkcell, the market leader, alone in the tender but the tender was cancelled due to lack of competition.
