ArmInfo. VivaCell-MTS, a subsidiary of "Mobile TeleSystems" OJSC,
informs that the Company’s staff members together with their colleagues
from OSCE and other international organizations volunteered in a
big tree planting event at Tsitsernakaberd. The tree planting is
part of a series of environmental events held in the frames of the
Green Generation Campaign organized by the FPWC in partnership with
Armenia’s leading mobile operator.

On April 3rd the Company’s volunteers already prepared the territory
of Tsitsernakaberd for the planting by removing the stones and breaking
up the soil. The peak point of the Green Generation Campaign will be a
solemn tree planting ceremony on April 22nd in the park of the Armenian
Genocide Memorial. That day 95 trees will be planted to honor the
victims of the Genocide and to remind the younger generation of Armenia
that they have to care for the future without forgetting the past.

Trees are the lungs of the nature. Volunteering for tree planting
activities on regular basis, VivaCell-MTS’ employees are guided
by the belief that for creating a better future for Armenia’s next
generations it’s necessary to counter the ongoing deforestation in
the country with as much tree planting activities as possible.

Involving children and youth, in particular, the organizers aim
to change the common tree planting activities into a continuous and
sustainable project. Due to the ongoing efforts of FPWC in partnership
with VivaCell-MTS to establish environmental education and to raise
awareness for nature protection the topic has now shifted into the
focus of public attention.

VivaCell-MTS and FPWC call all citizens of Armenia to join the Green
Generation Campaign dedicated to the Earth Day!
