ArmInfo. VivaCell-MTS' staff members together with their colleagues
from OSCE and other international organizations volunteered in a
big tree planting event at Tsitsernakaberd. The tree planting is
part of a series of environmental events held in the frames of the
Green Generation Campaign organized by the FPWC (Foundation for the
Preservation of Wildlife and Cultural Assets) in partnership with
Armenia's leading mobile operator and the Armenian Genocide Museum
Institute, VivaCell-MTS press service reported.
On April 3rd the Company's volunteers already prepared the territory of
Tsitsernakaberd for the planting by removing the stones and breaking
up the soil. The peak point of the Green Generation Campaign will
be a solemn tree planting ceremony on April 22nd in the park of the
Armenian Genocide Memorial. That day 95 trees will be planted to honor
the victims of the Genocide and to remind the younger generation of
Armenia that they have to care for the future without forgetting
the past. Many guests of the scientific conference organized by
the Museum-Institute of Armenian Genocide will participate in the
tree-planting, alongside with VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph
Yirikian, Director of Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Hayk Demoyan,
and Head of FPWC Ruben Khachatryan. "We left for the Western Armenia
especially to bring trees typical for that lands. Let the future park
of these trees become a peculiar symbol," R. Khachatryan said.
In addition, VivaCell-MTS gifted nearly 20 books to the
Museum-Institute. "We will work to preserve our national
self-consciousness, proud of our people and will achieve this goal,"
R. Yirikian said. For his part, Hayk Demoyan said that the books
gifted by the company are very valuable, for they contain firsthand
testimonies of the tragedy that happened 95 years ago. These books
were issued by 100-200 samples and are very rare. They will find their
proper places in the Golden Library Fund of the Museum, Demoyan said.
Involving children and youth, in particular, the event organizers aim
to change the common tree planting activities into a continuous and
sustainable project. Due to the ongoing efforts of FPWC in partnership
with VivaCell- MTS to establish environmental education and to raise
awareness for nature protection the topic has now shifted into the
focus of public attention. VivaCell-MTS and FPWC call all citizens
of Armenia to join the Green Generation Campaign dedicated to the
Earth Day!
