ALMOST NO MONEY WILL BE SPENT THIS YEAR
Armenia will manage to carry out work costing 4-6 million by the program «Millennium Challenges» if it finishes the preparation phase till autumn. The SU Fund has allotted 235 million 650 thousand USD to Armenia to reconstruct the village roads and to improve the irrigation system.
The Minister of Finance and Economy Vardan Khachatryan returned to Armenia after signing an agreement with the head of the MC Fund John Danilovich in the USA. He rendered a press conference today about the details of the business trip.
The Government is ready to carry out all the works financed by the MC Fund on the highest level as the financing can be ceased if the heads of the Fund are discontent with anything. The most important part of the information given by the Minister is that after signing the agreement the US State Secretary Condoleezza Rice invited the Armenian Minister Vardan Oskanyan and Vardan Khachatryan to her office and had a private conversation with them about issues concerning Armenia and the settlement of the Karabakh conflict for 10-15 minutes. The Minister of Finance and Economy did not inform any details about the conversation.
According to the report given by Vardan Khachatryan, 945 km of village road will be reconstructed for which 167 million 100 thousand USD will be spent. The Government has decided to spend 145 million USD for the programs «Village Development», «Irrigation», and «Construction of New Water Reservoirs».
The rest of the sum – 23.5 million, will probably be spent on consultations, the salaries of the workers of the «Millennium Challenges» state non-commercial organization and on financing of NGOs.
Vardan Khachatryan also said that the head of the MC Fund John Danilovich will come to Armenia in two weeks.
