VivaCell-MTS continues supporting projects aimed at raising awareness
of Armenian historical and cultural monuments, its press office
announced Monday.
It said that multilingual information panels for the ancient Armenian
capitals of Ani and Dvin were installed in Haikadzor village, Shirak
region. Besides, new information panel was installed at Gusanagiugh.
These panels are a part of AMAP's new Travel Trail "Armenia's Kings,
Queens and Princes". This Discovery Trail will allow tourists to
learn of Armenia's ancient and remarkable dynasties of rulers. This
is AMAP's sixth presentation in 2010 and continues the creation of
Discovery Trails for Armenia. Popular in other countries, Discovery
Trails combine monuments and destinations into day tours and themes.
>>From where the panels were installed, in the distance one can see the
outline of a great city, in its day one of the richest in the world.
Much of Ani is now gone, the once mighty city of 100 thousand ruined
by the desuetude of time and invasions by Byzantine, Turk and Mongol
forces. But 1000 years ago, Ani was probably the most important and
largest city in the world, a fulcrum for the Silk Road and seat of
power for the Bagratuni dynasty of kings.
"The continuous support provided by VivaCell-MTS to AMAP reflects
once again our belief. Our history is our valuable treasure, and we
are obliged to educate our children how and why we have to value and
preserve it. Today, with marking this new site we are adding a new
milestone on how better to cherish and highlight our heroic history.
For each of us doing our job at our workplace and supporting our
families is not enough - what's equally important is paying tribute
to the past by instilling in our children true values for which the
great Armenians who are standing behind and watching us have fought
for,"- VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian said.
Sponsors of AMAP's projects are Armenia's Leading Mobile Operator
VivaCell-MTS, the Honorary Consul for Italy in Giumri, the US
Ambassadors Cultural Fund, the Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs
and USAID/CAPS.
