ArmInfo. VivaCell-MTS, a subsidiary of "Mobile TeleSystems" OJSC,
informs that its Corporate Responsibility programs expand their
geography. The press- service of VivaCell-MTS told ArmInfo that the
Company presented its hard path of success to the Armenian communities
in New York, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.

"Being Armenia’s leading mobile operator, a big responsibility lies
upon the shoulders of VivaCell-MTS: endorsing and supporting the
preservation of the national identity. We need to tell every Armenian
in the whole world how great our Hayrenik is and how responsible we
are to grow it and prosper it," stated VivaCell-MTS General Manager
Ralph Yirikian during the multiple sessions with Armenians from
different walks of life in the United States of America.

Armenian schools, universities and educational institutions from the
east to the west coast of the United States opened their doors widely
to the "Business with a Mission " project led by VivaCell-MTS General
Manager and his team. "The business with a Mission" project launched
in Armenia flew us to you, our compatriots in the Diaspora as an
obligation to share with you the prosperity we see in our homeland
and the potential of its growth. VivaCell-MTS is a living example
that could not be achieved without the efforts of Armenian young
graduates and gifted executives," stated Mr. Yirikian in New York.

In Washington, DC, and Philadelphia, Armenians of all backgrounds
gathered to attend what a successful business from their beloved
homeland had to tell them and share with them. "We are an operator
that serves the people, as we are from the people and to the people and
not only in the homeland, but all over the world – wherever there are
Armenians. And we gladly serve them with our Corporate Responsibility
way of thinking," added VivaCell-MTS General Manager.

Los Angeles, the last stop of the "Business with a Mission"
project witnessed a hype like no other in terms of the eagerness and
anticipation to get exposed to the messages brought from Armenia by
a brand some of them heard about: "We see the image of our Hayrenik
glittering throughout the achievements of our Company: If we could
make it and succeed, so could you." "One should not ask what the
Hayrenik can do for me but what I can do for my Hayrenik," stated Mr.
Yirikian, while meeting with university and school students.

Inspiring, motivating and full of positive messages and hope… That’s
how the trip to the United States was described by most of those,
who had the chance to share this experience with VivaCell-MTS during
the tour.

More than 10 days to remember, not only in the history of VivaCell-MTS,
who was blessed by the meeting with compatriots in the USA, but also
in the life of the compatriots aching to always hear good news about
their homeland. This time they were motivated to be part of this
prosperity to happen, said Yirikian.
