OREANDA-NEWS. April 3, 2009. Today a special ceremony was held at the Company’s headquarters dedicated to Mother’s Day Celebration. The event was attended by 12 mothers representing 10 marzes of Armenia and the capital Yerevan, who gave birth to the greatest number of children, their husbands and children.  The greatest number of children born to a woman in Armenia is 17; the mother, Antaram Ghazaryan from Yerevan, and 11 other hero mothers from marzes who had given birth to the greatest number of children were presented with an amount of AMD 1 million each.

As a caring company, VivaCell-MTS thus expresses its heartfelt appreciation of the role Armenian mothers play in enhancing our society, for the everyday work they are doing and the sacrifices they make in raising and upbringing their children.
At the beginning of the mothers’ month, VivaCell-MTS started collecting data on mothers who gave birth to the greatest number of children. At the result, one mother was identified from Yerevan and each region of Armenia (Vayots Dzor is represented by two mothers because both of them gave birth to equal number of children).

“Motherhood… the greatest blessing of all, after an Armenian woman becomes a mother, and especially these hero mothers, they forget about themselves and they melt into caring about the well being of their children”, - told VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian to the media when asked about the reason of the project. “When it comes to raising children, society expects more from mothers than anyone else. Let’s think for a moment as a society, if we are meeting the needs of mothers? We should always remember that mothers of Armenia are doing an extraordinarily important job as they are upbringing the future of the nation’, - added Ralph Yirikian.  

VivaCell-MTS   wanted just to extend hands to these mothers and contribute in fulfilling some of their needs, hoping to add a smile on their faces.
