Ralph Yirikian named "Man of the Year 2008" of Gyumri
A special ceremony of honoring VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian was held Monday in the Institute of Art in Gyumri, where he was named "Man of the Year 2008" of the city.

Earlier this year a group of Gyumri citizens applied to an NGO 'Man of Year of Gyumri" with a request to consider granting VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian the title "Man of the Year 2008". The board of the organization comprising prominent figures in the sphere of art, science and education, decided to name Ralph Yirikian "Man of the Year 2008" of Gyumri.

"For the activity that helped improve the moral-psychological state of the city of Gyumri, namely, for the donation of 20 apartments to homeless people on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of  Spitak Earthquake," the Board's statement reads, VivaCell press office reported.
