US ASSISTANCE

The US House of Representatives and the Senate Allocation Committees will separately discuss the bill on the foreign assistance of the financial year of 2009.
On March, 2008, congressmen, co-Chairmen of American Congress of Armenians Joe Nolenberg and Frank Palone, with the support of 37 other Congressmen demanded from Nita Lowey to support the implementation of the six principal goals adopted for the progress of the USA interests in Armenia and the region.
They have proposed to cut the assistance shown to Azerbaijan, until it continues its bellicose announcements, to allocate 5 million dollars’ military assistance to Armenia, to continue the implementation of article 907 of the Freedom Assistance Act, to give 70 million dollars’ economic assistance to Armenia and give an end to the ban on the USA-NKR touches.
The budget proposed by the White House in February of this year has artificially cut the assistance shown to Armenia by 59%, over again breaching the balance of the military assistance in favor of Azerbaijan, and despite the intimidations of official Baku to use the growing arsenal to resume the war against Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.
