Production Union Aztelekom of the Azerbaijani Communications and IT Ministry works to eliminate accidents in the zone of disaster caused by increased water levels in the Kura River, Aztelekom Spokesman Vidadi Ismayilov said today.

Ismayilov said about 15 kilometers of the main fiber-optic lines in the Shirvan city (in the direction of Baku), owned by the operator, come under water. But despite this, the connection breaks are not observed.

"The company involved three teams to resolve problems in the disaster zone. The same problem is observed in the Sabirabad region and nearby settlements. Amount of damage is not yet known. The ministry plans to conduct collegium in the scene, "he added.

The company's employees installed telephones and laid the Internet lines to the headquarters, established in the Shirvan city and the post of the traffic police. The operator also instituted a hotline in the camps of temporary settlement. The disasters did not affect base station wireless CDMA.
