8 million AMD allocated in 2012. VivaCell-MTS reaffirms its readiness
to support the national cultural initiatives during 2013 as well. For
this year, 1.204 billion AMD are allocated for supporting diverse
cultural projects.
The preservation and development of national identity is a priority
for VivaCell-MTS. The Company wants to support, develop and cherish the
feeling of national identity among Armenians, to promote Armenia as all
Armenians' home, loved by them and serving as a source of inspiration.
Nevertheless, VivaCell-MTS' support to the sphere of culture is not
limited to the promotion of national culture. The Company believes that
the culture becomes much stronger and richer from open communication
with the culture of other nations. The Company's mission is also
to facilitate the aesthetic education of the young generation in
Armenia. And every unique and remarkable event adds a new quality
and cultural mark to Armenian society.
The cultural initiatives supported by VivaCell-MTS embrace a variety
of spheres and genres, starting from those which illustrate the
tragic pages of Armenian history; particularly, the donation of
historical documentary volumes to the library of the Armenian Genocide
Museum-Institute, and also undertaking the sponsorship of staging the
"Operation Nemesis" performance.
Classical music receives a special attention from VivaCell-MTS:
the Company provided financial support to the organization of the
"I Solisti Veneti Grand Concerto" event, initiated by the Italian
Embassy, sponsoring the National Gallery Classical Music Festival,
Gyumri Renaissance Music Festival, and Return Music Festival. In
addition, VivaCell-MTS supports Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra, the
State Youth Orchestra, Komitas Quartet, Barekamutyun dance ensemble,
and the State Academic Choir, for supporting a better future of arts.
VivaCell-MTS also supports the creation of the ontology "Public
Radio's Golden Fund."
VivaCell-MTS bears responsibility as a corporate citizen, to support
the Armenian cinematography in its efforts to remain vital and
relevant to the spiritual needs of the Armenian audience. Golden
Apricot International Film Festival who will be celebrating their
10th anniversary this year, VivaCell-MTS is their main partner and
sponsor for the 8th time in a row that is yet another efficient means
to bringing Armenia to the world and the world to Armenia.
VivaCell-MTS has also contributed to the Yerevan World Book Capital
project, by sponsoring Via Libri (the Way of the Book) project.
VivaCell-MTS is sure that supporting book-reading promotion projects,
aimed at strengthening the reading culture at schools, will result
in better prepared youth for the future cultural, social and economic
development.
In 2013 the Ministry of Culture will continue coming up with bold
initiatives including numerous musical, theatrical, youth-oriented
premieres and projects, and festivals. Such a rich diversity of
cultural initiatives can be brought to life with the support of the
Ministry of Culture only because there are corporate partners with
a noble mission - supporting the preservation and development of
the cultural identity of the Nation, as well as presentation of the
world's rich cultural heritage to Armenia. The Ministry of Culture
values the long-term and fruitful cooperation with Armenia's Leading
Telecommunications Operator embracing multiple joint projects in the
spheres of culture aimed at the promotion of the Armenian culture in
the world.
The history of any society resides in its arts and culture. By
acknowledging this, VivaCell-MTS has proven to be the Friend of
contemporary Armenian culture by striving to help it stay on the
leading edge.
