VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian, staff members from the company and Fuller Center for Housing Armenia team had a regular visit to Armavir region, the villages of Yervandashat and Margara sharing with five families their happiness.

Nine families from Armavir region, the villages of Yervandashat and Margara, will meet the winter without worries and concerns.

“Fatherland is a sacred idea, the purest of all the beliefs. It is the fundament upon which our identity relies on. Yet it is tangible as anything else around us. It’s about soil cultivated by the farmer and the harvest that the land yields, it’s about village kids who live in harmony with the nature, it’s about strong families who pass their knowledge of land cultivation from generation to generation together with their love for the birthplace. Fatherland is the air that we breathe; it’s the eyes of the young shepherd, clean as the spring water he drinks. Fatherland is the cumulative belief that each of us, nowadays Armenians, should hold: we are the means to pass this holy land inherited from our ancestors to our children. For preserving our Fatherland, we have to work a lot, day and night, sparing no effort. We have to build – and with each of the houses that we build, we rebuild our belief. No one else will do this for us”, said VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian

“The least each of us can do for these people is to create basic housing conditions, safe roof and solid walls. For an Armenian the home is more than a place to live in and we try to do the possible to make more families live without the concern of living in comfortless conditions”, said Ashot Yeghiazaryan, Fuller Center for Housing Armenia president.

“It is already a month that some of our fellow villagers have already finished the construction of their homes. We were feeling awe following the process, sometimes we were getting discouraged thinking whether the day when we finish the renovation of our house would come or not, whether we would feel the happiness of living in a safe and decent home. Now the sense of despair has disappeared’’, said Tsovinar Grigoryan.

In the frames of this project 6 houses were renovated, 2 half-built houses completed and one house purchased in Armavir region.

VivaCell-MTS has invested 55 million AMD for the housing project in the borderland villages of Armenia and Fuller Center for Housing Armenia has undertaken the implementation of the project.
