ArmInfo. VivaCell – MTS announced the opening ceremony of the project
aimed at raising awareness of one of Armenia’s historical – cultural
masterpieces – Zvartnots Cathedral Friday. The long-term program being
implemented jointly with the Ministry of Culture, USAID/CAPS and
Armenian Monuments Awareness
Project is aimed at raising awareness of Armenia’s historical, cultural
and natural monuments. Under the project, information panels,
directional signs and companion booklets were put at five sites of the
project: Garni, Historic Giumri, Zvartnots Cathedral, Khor
Virap/Artashat, and Noravank/Noravank Nature Area. These cultural
treasures are pillars of the Armenian history and doors to its future,
and acknowledging this VivaCell-MTS was adamant at supporting the
promotion of these historical-cultural sites and developing more
information about the cultural and historical heritage and
communicating it to the society. The Armenian Monuments Awareness
Project created and installed multilingual information panels,
directional signs and markers in the territory of the Cathedral, which
in turn will encourage the development of tourism. Information panels,
directional signs and markers were installed to serve as guides for
tourists, who visit Zvartnots. The print guides provide comprehensive
information by presenting both the historical and cultural aspects of
the monument. Reaching beyond products and services VivaCell-MTS always
extends hand to any effort towards endorsing Armenia’s presence and
image.
Protection of cultural values and culture is a common duty, this is the
principle the projects organizes are guided with.
