    VivaCell-MTS and the Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry Charitable
    Trust (ABMDR) announce the opening of the Stem Cell Harvesting Center
    which will target its activities at saving of the endangered lives
    of those Armenians and non-Armenians alike who suffer from leukemia
    and other ominous blood-related disease, reported the press office
    of VivaCell-MTS.

    Armenian Bone Marrow Donor Registry is a non-profit charitable
    organization which has for the last ten years pursued its noble
    goals in and outside the Republic of Armenia. ABMDR's mission is to
    help the Armenians scattered around the world overcome fatal blood
    diseases through bone marrow/stem cell transplantation. Hence the
    ABMDR aims at identifying matching bone marrow/stem cell donors
    for the patients suffering from leukemia, ensuring high transplant
    efficiency, recruiting donors throughout Armenia and the Armenian
    Diaspora, and at creating an all-Armenian database.

    Up to the present date, more than 14.000 donors have volunteered of
    register with the ABMDR, 821 matches have been identified, and 9 bone
    marrow/stem cell transplantations have been performed. The setting up
    of a state-of-the-art Stem Cell Harvesting Center has been a priority
    among ABMDR's recent activities.

    "VivaCell-MTS, being a long time corporate partner and supporter of
    ABMDR, once again came up with a considerable social investment which
    will serve the noble mission of saving endangered lives", said General
    Manager of VivaCell-MTS Ralph Yirikian.

    "The realization of this project, marking a significant step forward
    in Armenia's health care, was made possible thanks to the invaluable
    and much appreciated support by the organization's long time friend and
    ally - VivaCell-MTS - a key player in the country's telecommunications
    area and a leading mobile networks operator. VivaCell-MTS contributed
    106 million drams which will be fully targeted at saving of lives at
    stake", said Dr. Sevak Avagyan, Executive Director of ABMDR.
