The construction works which started in the village of Darbas in Armenia’s Syunik province half a year ago have now been completed, with the family celebrating housewarming.

VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian and Fuller Center for Housing Armenia President Ashot Yeghiazaryan participated in the house blessing ceremony sharing the happiness of the Karapetyan family.

Vrezh Karapetyan and his two brothers lost their parents when they were children. After the death of their grandparents, the brothers had only themselves to rely on. For years they had been living in a two-room earthen house without a kitchen and a bathroom. Yet, the brothers never gave up on their dream and continued working on the half-built house inherited from their parents believing that one day they will have a decent home.

“It is hard to describe what I feel now. This house has become a real stronghold for us. Even in my bravest dreams, I could not imagine that we would have such a beautiful home. On behalf of my brothers and myself, I express our deepest gratitude for turning our seemingly unrealizable dream into reality,” said the eldest of the Karapetyan brothers, Vrezh.

In the framework of the housing project, the partnering organizations have completed the construction of the half-built house, also installing a heating system. On Yirikian’s personal initiative, the house of the Karapetyan family has been furnished and replenished with necessary home appliances.

“I can’t help admiring these brothers. Meeting them for the first time and reading the motto “Fortune favors the brave” on the wall of their half-built house, I felt immense respect for these remarkable young people. All the hardships they have been through have made them more determined, vigorous and persistent,” Yirikian stressed.

“The construction of a house for Karapetyan brothers was truly rewarding. The efforts, the enthusiasm and the determination with which the three brothers undertook the construction of their house is promising. Still a half constructed building just months ago, it has now become a real home for the brothers who are about to enter adulthood, but who have already seen so much for their young age,” said Yeghiazaryan.
