Russian Foreign Ministry supports the return of MTS property in Uzbekistan

Moscow supports the decision of the Tashkent court to return 

property to the daughter-company of Russian mobile phone operator MTS

in Uzbekistan, the official website of the Ministry says.

This July the Uzbek agency for communications and information suspended the

licence of Uzdunrobit for three months and then annulled it.

The Tashkent court supported this decision. On November 8, the Tashkent court

satisfied the appeal by Uzdunrobit, the daughter-company of MTS, concerning the return of property that was confiscated by

Uzbekistan. It also confirmed that the $600-million debt of MTS-Uzbekistan should be paid off within 8 months.
