development of alternative energy, German Ambassador Hans-Jochen
Schmidt told reporters on Friday.
Germany could offer Armenia a loan on preferential terms in the amount
of EUR40 million that would be used for the development of alternative
energy, he said.
Schmidt also said that German international cooperation agency GIZ
has developed a program to protect Armenia's forests. There are
plans to lend Armenia EUR6 million through bank KfW for protection
