business-sector will give an application for any programme: a programme
for improvement of the infrastructure, personnel training, echotourism
development, etc. For our part, we announce a competition where R&D
establishments, public organizations and other interested parties may
take part. The winners of the competition will receive a grant by the
client>, A. Khoyetsyan explained. He added that the project executors
will have to submit a financial report on a regular basis.'We have not
yet received business applications, however we hope they will appear
soon>, he added. As A. Khoyetsyan said, this is the first complex
business-related programme in Armenia. He recalled that WWF organizzed
a programme in 2007 jointly with HSBC bank. 'Within the frames of the
programme, every guest of the Armenia-Marriott hotel could donate
one dollar to WWF. As a result, 300 dollars were gathered in all
which were used for acquisition of tires for an off-roader. However,
the fact that we created a precedent and intend to develop it was of
most important for us', he emphasized.
