‘’The childhood and the adolescence of my three children have passed in a metal container; we have spent terrible winters there. My second son was born in this domik. We started the construction of the house 10 years ago. If not your support, we couldn’t finish the house construction. The coming winter is no more terrible.  I can’t find words to express my gratitude,’’ said the mother of the family, Anie.

“The most important value is the human being. The measure of everything is the satisfaction of our co-citizens. If that is there the project is justified. But the satisfaction is shaped by multilayered factors. It is not just about offering goods to business communities. We deliver high quality services, innovative solutions, we keep our leading positions and we alongside support others in overcoming problems. It is a manifestation of attitude towards people, society and country. All the families who have fulfilled their decades-old dream have obtained more than just an apartment, which is a material good; they have developed confidence in living a future filled with belief, response to others’ concerns, readiness to solve them, and more. It is a pleasure to state that the strategy led by our company for years gradually takes shape in other companies and environments as a system of values,” said VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian.

The newly built homes are different, but the happiness it gives is the same. We can surely say that we are building more than houses, we build lives’’ said Fuller Center for Housing Armenia President Ashot Yeghiazaryan.
