VivaCell-MTS, a subsidiary of “Mobile TeleSystems” OJSC, is pleased
to announce that the cooperation with Children of Armenia Fund is
expressed not only in material form, but also by raising awareness
among young people and by encouraging their potential.

Armenia’s leading telecommunications operator hosted students from
Armavir region Dalarik and Lernagog villages. These communities are
beneficiaries of the Children of Armenia Fund, and actively participate
in the rural community development programs. 6 thousand out of more
than 25 thousand representatives of this fund set up in New York in
2000 are children.

VivaCell-MTS gives importance to the efforts of young people to
understand their role in the development of the country, and to
identify priority issues of their own community. The meeting of
the summer camp 30 students with VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph
Yirikian was aimed at encouraging their activities.

“Community development starts with your aspirations for
self-development, a value system based on mutual respect and
willingness to solve the existing problems. Keep caring for your
environmental problems as you do for your family, and you will have
developed community, region and country,” said VivaCell-MTS General
Manager Ralph Yirikian.

VivaCell-MTS’ cooperation with the Children of Armenia Fund had
started a year ago in the frames of the charity dinner organized by
the Foundation. The Company donated more than AMD 3.5 million, which
was invested in the reconstruction of the Armavir region Karakert
village school, company’s press service reported.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
