051031 - ZARUHI HARUTYUNYAN PREPARING FOR THE WORLD TOUR IN CYPRUS

GIBRAHAYER e-
A top ranked 15 year-old tennis player, Zaruhi Harutyunyan from Armenia has landed in Cyprus.
She has decided to stay in Cyprus and travel the tennis circuit. To that end, community officials offering assistance to the talented girl have already arranged for her to train with the Cypriot National Tennis team at the Federation's National Tennis center and work is under way to arrange issues related to her accommodation and support team who are going to help her make her mark on the tennis circuit.
Haroutyunyan decided to stay in Cyprus after the Aphrodite Cup - a world ranking Junior tournament - in which she lost to -three years her senior - world number 228 Zuzanna Likhova of the Czech Republic.
With limited possibilities and opportunities in Armenia, she is hoping that her risks away from home will soon be rewarded.
As a nine year old, Harutyunyan won the Palm Springs - California Under 12 tournament and subsequently won tournaments in Bulgaria, Germany, Holland, France, England in the under 14 and the under 16 categories.
Like every community undertaking, this too needs generous community support.
With her practice schedule and physical training already planned and taken care of by interested parties in Cyprus, you too can show your assistance in several other ways.
She will soon go on the world tour. She needs support for travel and accommodation, sponsors for clothing, a budget for her initial take-off, where she will be attempting to break the tennis scene.

With her kind of potential I am certain she will give back to her homeland what our homeland is unable to give to her right now.
