President of Armenia Armen Sarkissian today received representative of the charity programs being implemented by the German Red Cross Baden-Wurttemberg provincial branch Karl-Heinz Scheide.

President Sarkissian highly appreciated the humanitarian programs of the German Red Cross in Armenia and expressed gratitude for the past and current activities of the organization.

Karl-Heinz Scheide said he would like to continue to support Armenia and that he and his friends have been carrying out the Charity Kitchen Program for the past 18 years.

The interlocutors talked about the future programs. President Sarkissian offered to consider the idea of establishing a small, separate business that will provide the opportunity to use own products and create new jobs which will make the program self-sufficient and sustainable. Karl-Heinz Scheide gladly accepted the offer and viewed it as a wonderful idea.
