911 service now directly available in Armenia’s Kotayk province

VivaCell-MTS subscribers in Kotayk province of Armenia can now reach the Emergency Situations Service local offices dialing 911/112.

The new system was enabled after successful testing in the area. Before, when contacting the 911 service, the residents had to contact the Call Center of the Crisis Management Center of the Ministry of Emergency and Territorial Administration in Yerevan, which handled the call by instructing the local office to take appropriate action.

Not long ago, VivaCell-MTS had made this service available for its subscribers living in Arargatsotn, Vayots Dzor, Lori, Ararat, Shirak, Gegharquninq, Syunik, Tavush and Armavir provinces.

The innovation is aimed at shortening the response time of the rescue service in emergency situations.
