Armenia 1 on Orange TV
Armenia's first public general viewing channel, Armenia I will from now on be broadcast on Orange TV's channel 305 on broadband internet. Armenia 1 is a real link between Armenia and the Armenian community living in France.
Orange and Armenia
This agreement between Edward Nalbandian and Didier Lombard was also an opportunity to recall the many relationships over the years between the Group and the Armenian Republic.
In 1988, in the earthquake that shook Armenia, the Group flew a mobile satellite antenna to the country enabling it to communicate with the rest of the world. The first pictures and the communications re-established with the diaspora helped trigger and maintain the strong solidarity movement that arose in France.
Since 2000, Orange has supported the Armenian Fund of France in organising the annual Phonethon held in November each year. This operation run by hundreds of volunteers consists of collecting funds by telephone for structural projects in Armenia such as roads, schools, hospitals, nurseries… etc. The Group makes available all the logistics, technology and systems for call centres in four large cities in France.
Each year the Regional Department at Marseille welcomes many Armenian students into its service as part of a partnership with the French University in Yerevan, the Conseil Général des Bouches du Rhône and the French-Armenian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
By the end of 2009, Orange will launch a mobile phone service in Armenia via its subsidiary Orange Armenia. In October 2008, Orange was awarded the third mobile operator license (GSM and 3G) in the Republic of Armenia, a market that shows considerable potential for growth. With this launch, Armenia is set to benefit from the strenght of the Orange brand as well as the Group's capacity to offer high-quality, innovative services.
