    With the support from Ralph Yirikian, Armenian Genocide
    Museum-Institute reprinted Ferriman Duckett's monograph on the
    massacres in Adana

    November 30th, 2010, Yerevan, Armenia VivaCell-MTS, a subsidiary of
    "Mobile TeleSystems" OJSC, informs that the cooperation with the
    Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute is within the special focus of
    attention of VivaCell-MTS General Manager.

    As part of the comprehensive efforts to have the crime committed in
    the beginning of the 20th century recognized and condemned, the library
    of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute has been enriched with rare
    literature of high scientific interest owing also to the efforts made
    by Armenia's Leading Mobile Operator. These volumes - major sources
    of testimony by eyewitnesses to massacres - are brought from a number
    of countries and are the voice of both the Armenian nation and the
    whole civilized world against the crimes committed against humanity.

    In particular, the "Letters from Cilicia" by Alice Keep Clark, an
    American missionary, is a unique primary source of the massacres of
    Hatchn in 1920. VivaCell-MTS donated AMD 9 million to obtain museum
    and exhibition items including books, letters, photos, etc.

    With VivaCell-MTS support the funds of the library are now enriched
    with around 200 pieces of museum and exhibition items.

    Ralph Yirikian came up with a personal initiative to enhance the
    collection of the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute. The idea to
    create the Cilician series is part of that initiative. The rare
    monograph by Ferriman Duckett "The Young Turks and the Truth about
    the Holocaust at Adana", the first edition of which appeared in London
    in 1913, is already reprinted.

    "The nation that does not remember its history puts its future
    under threat of non-existence. Remembering means living by creating
    and by earning the right to continued existence with dignity and by
    rejecting injustice. I am one of those whose roots are in Adana, who
    now live also to cherish our identity, as we have an obligation to
    our ancestors, ourselves and to our children to stay and contribute
    to a better future of our holy land, Armenia," said Ralph Yirikian.

    For the support to the Armenian Genocide Museum-Institute Ralph
    Yirikian was awarded with a letter of gratitude, which, was printed
    on a paper made of the flowers brought to the Eternal fire of the
    Genocide Memorial on April 24th.

    To remind, the flowers deposed at the eternal flame of the Genocide
    Memorial "revived" thanks to Sunchild Eco-club children. The flower
    petals dried in special conditions and used in recycled paper turned
    into nice thank you cards and memos for the Genocide Museum-Institute.

    VivaCell-MTS will continue its support to the museum-institute
    throughout the commemoration events on the occasion of the 100th
    anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
