12 mothers representing 10 regions (marzes) of Armenia and the capital
Yerevan received AMD 1 million each from VivaCell-MTS during a ceremony
dedicated to Mother’s Day Celebration

VivaCell-MTS, a subsidiary of Mobile TeleSystems OJSC (NYSE: MBT),
announces that today a special ceremony was held at the Company’s
headquarters dedicated to Mother’s Day Celebration. The event was
attended by 12 mothers representing 10 marzes of Armenia and the
capital Yerevan, who gave birth to the greatest number of children,
their husbands and children.

The greatest number of children born to a woman in Armenia is 17;
the mother, Antaram Ghazaryan from Yerevan, and 11 other hero mothers
from marzes who had given birth to the greatest number of children
were presented with an amount of AMD 1 million each.

As a caring company, VivaCell-MTS thus expresses its heartfelt
appreciation of the role Armenian mothers play in enhancing our
society, for the everyday work they are doing and the sacrifices they
make in raising and upbringing their children.

At the beginning of the mothers’ month, VivaCell-MTS started collecting
data on mothers who gave birth to the greatest number of children. At
the result, one mother was identified from Yerevan and each region
of Armenia (Vayots Dzor is represented by two mothers because both
of them gave birth to equal number of children).

"Motherhood… the greatest blessing of all, after an Armenian woman
becomes a mother, and especially these hero mothers, they forget
about themselves and they melt into caring about the well being of
their children", – told VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian to
the media when asked about the reason of the project. "When it comes
to raising children, society expects more from mothers than anyone
else. Let’s think for a moment as a society, if we are meeting the
needs of mothers? We should always remember that mothers of Armenia
are doing an extraordinarily important job as they are upbringing
the future of the nation’, – added Ralph Yirikian.

VivaCell-MTS wanted just to extend hands to these mothers and
contribute in fulfilling some of their needs, hoping to add a smile
on their faces.
