ArmInfo. VivaCell-MTS, a subsidiary of Mobile TeleSystems OJSC (NYSE:
MBT) announces the opening of "Olympic Games – 2008. The Flavor of
Our Victories" photo exhibition.

The exposition includes about 150 photos depicting the most
significant, interesting, touching and emotional moments of the
Beijing Olympiad captured by photographers from world-known agency
Reuters as well as by Martin Shahbazyan, the personal photographer
of the President of Armenia. The exhibition also included the photos
provided by Armenpress photojournalist Tigran Mehrabyan. The exhibition
will run till October 17. Similar exhibitions organized by MTS and
Reuters are held in six CIS countries.

VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian noted: We all were watching
with bated breath our sportsmen cleaning the weight gracefully off
the floor, knocking the rival off his feet, and showing the power of
our fist. The whole of Armenia was swept along on a tide of Olympic
success and euphoria, and tens of thousands of people with tears in
their eyes equally stroke Olympic medals. As a corporate citizen,
VivaCell-MTS has always been the sports’ partner in Armenia.

Many Armenian companies extended hands to the Olympic team and
one of them was VivaCell-MTS who contributed AMD 31 million to the
National Olympic Committee of Armenia out of the Company’s sense of
responsibility and conviction that we need to support our sportsmen and
help them to reach more. Photographing is an art committed to capturing
the best moments of the event to live up the most crucial and dramatic
moments of the event again in the future. The exhibition "Olympic
Games – 2008". The Flavor of Our Victories" is one more opportunity
to experience the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics, to feel the taste of
our victories, encourage our sportsmen and why not to feel the seeds
of future victories. The information sponsors of the photo exhibition
in Armenia are the Armenian Public TV and Aravot daily.
