    ArmenTel CJSC (Beeline trademark) and Children of Armenia Fund
    announce the launch of the program "Let's relieve the environment
    of polyethylene bags" aimed at protection of the environment and
    development of entrepreneurship in rural communities.

    The program envisages production of fizz bags, the use of which will
    allow reducing the use of polyethylene bags, which inflict a big
    damage to the environment, because they do not mold within hundreds
    of years and contaminate the land and the water. Their use is serious
    problem for nature. The first phase of the program will be implemented
    in Karakert community, where 7 jobless women will be involved in the
    process of production of 1300-1500 fizz bags.

    "Within the frames of its social responsibility programs, ArmenTel
    is striving to contribute to resolution of various problems in
    Armenia's regions and to provide real benefit to both people and the
    environment. The given program contributes to resolving of not only
    environmental, but also social problems, as it is aimed at developing
    entrepreneurship in rural communities and creating new workplaces",
    said Igor Klimko, Director General of ArmenTel CJSC.

    "This program is of great importance to us. Firstly, it is
    environmental importance, as we consider it in the context of the
    movement against the use of polyethylene bags. Secondly, the program
    will allow providing dozens of rural residents with jobs", said Serob
    Khachatryan, Executive Director of the Children of Armenia Fund. To
    note, in early 2012 ArmenTel CJSC and the Children of Armenia Fund
    signed a memorandum on long-term cooperation.

    ArmenTel CJSC (Beeline brand) is the subsidiary of VimpelCom Group.
