    Armenia's renowned singer Alla Levonyan joined today the ranks of
    200 celebrities around the world who have partnered with UNICEF to
    advocate for children 's rights.

    "Ms. Levonyan's appointment as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador is not
    just a recognition of her fame and talents, but more importantly, a
    recognition of her commitment to improving the situation of children
    in this country that she has demonstrated by participating in various
    benevolent activities and campaigns benefiting vulnerable children,"
    UNICEF Representative Sheldon Yett told a press conference at UN
    House in Yerevan.

    "People of all ages in this country enjoy Ms. Levonyan's music. We
    at UNICEF Armenia hope that Alla Levonyan's voice will help us focus
    attention on the most pressing needs of children in Armenia," the
    UNICEF Representative stressed.

    Celebrating Alla Levonyan's appointment, Mr. Yett presented the
    newly appointed Goodwill Ambassador with a UNICEF T-shirt and a cap
    symbolizing her commitment to UNICEF's mission to ensure every child's
    right to health, education, equality and protection.

    "I am truly honoured to accept this new and challenging role. Before
    this appointment I was responsible for my two children only, now
    my responsibility has grown to embrace all children of Armenia. I am
    excited to begin doing what I can to bring more attention to children's
    issues," said Alla Levonyan.

    Alla Levonyan is one of the most popular and respected singers in
    Armenia, whose unique voice and talent charms Armenians and others
    from all over the world. She is known for contributing proceeds from
    her concerts and sales of her albums to help persons with disabilities
    in Armenia.

    "We are confident that Alla Levonyan will be a highly respected and
    effective National Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF who will be able
    to use her talent and fame for the benefit of Armenia's children,"
    Sheldon Yett said.
