    VivaCell donates 22,5 mln AMD to National Library of Armenia on the
    latter's 175th anniversary

    ArmInfo. VivaCell, the leading Armenian mobile operator, financed the
    repair work of the head building of the National Library of Armenia.
    VivaCell Press-secretary Vahe Isahakyan told ArmInfo correspondent that
    the company allocated about 12,5 mln AMD for these purposes.

    In addition, VivaCell donated 10 mln AMD to the library on the latter's
    175-th anniversary. At the moment, there are 7 mln printed units at the
    library and about 30 thsd readers make use of its services. The
    library's building needed an overhaul for a long time, however, the
    funds annually allocated from the state budget were not enough to
    overhaul the building. Today, Director General of VivaCell Ralph
    Yirikian was awarded a medal after first Armenian printer Hakob
    Meghapart and a copy of the first printed book "Urbatagirk".
    Celebrities like poetess Silva Kaputikyan, actress Galya Novents and
    theatre representative Hakop Ghazarian were given this honor. "Each
    Armenian must be proud of the existence of such a National Library,
    which makes it possible to pass knowledge to many generations and to
    open a new world for oneself", Ralph Yirikian said at the medal
    awarding ceremony. To note, within the frames of its Corporate Social
    Responsibility program, VivaCell renders financial support to the
    disabled, socially unprivileged families and a number of organizations.
