    VivaCell-MTS announces the completion of renovation works of Dilijan
    Art School

    2008-11-28 12:43:00


    ArmInfo. VivaCell-MTS, a subsidiary of Mobile TeleSystems OJSC (NYSE:
    MBT), announces the completion of renovation works of Dilijan Art
    School.

    As the Company's press service told ArmInfo, the school renovation
    included the stage, rest rooms, rooftop, as well as the facade of the
    building. On top of that, a heating system was installed. This project
    was accomplished thanks to the VivaCell-MTS' AMD 33.2 million of social
    investment.

    Dilijan Art School after Honored Art worker, painter Hovhannes
    Sharambeyan, has not seen any renovation since the date of its
    foundation in 1970. VivaCell-MTS extended hand for support out of the
    belief that this will revive this long forgotten school. And now, after
    undergoing total interior and exterior renovation, the school marks its
    new beginning. "By encouraging our children to embrace art, we preserve
    our self-identity by means of engaging in arts, and we pass on our
    heritage to the younger generation. We can't be indifferent to the
    annoying fact that many young Armenians are now at the risk of
    forgetting their heritage and culture", - VivaCell-MTS General Manager
    Ralph Yirikian noted.

    The rejuvenated educational institution will from now on carry out its
    traditional mission using modern approaches. It will care for the
    preservation and development of national traditions in the sphere of
    decorative-applied arts and fine arts. The school will again host the
    disintegrated hobby and creative groups.

    No doubt, nowadays the rebirth of this kind of educational institution
    is of paramount importance for all communities of Armenia, and this was
    the major argument for VivaCell-MTS to invest in the Art School in
    Dilijan, a small town of hospitable people surrounded by wonderful
    forests.
