VivaCell-MTS, a subsidiary of "Mobile TeleSystems" OJSC, informs that
the 3rd Animal Carnival Parade marched through the central streets in
Yerevan. The event was organized by the Foundation for the Preservation
of Wildlife and Cultural Assets (FPWC) in cooperation with the
organization's General Partner, Armenia's Leading Telecommunications
Operator VivaCell-MTS and Yerevan Zoo.
The aim of the event was to raise public awareness for animal welfare
and wildlife protection, especially for Armenian species on the
brink of extinction. Protection and maintenance of biodiversity of
Armenia is one of the causes to which VivaCell-MTS is committed as a
corporate citizen. Organization of environmental education campaigns
aimed at behavior change of the youth from early age is one of the
most effective means of environmental protection. This is the reason
why VivaCell-MTS is providing ongoing support to the environmental
events organized by FPWC.
The Samba Carnival band Confusao from the German city Bremen had been
again specially invited to lead the parade. This year hundreds of
pupils from Yerevan and the regions of Armenia participated in the
Animal Carnival Parade.
The march started from the Freedom Square and proceeded through the
Northern Avenue to the Republic Square. The Animal Carnival continued
in the Zoo, where the participants enjoyed the cheerful performance
of the Bremen musicians, VivaCell-MTS press service reported.
