USA TO PROVIDE EQUAL AID PACKAGE TO AZERBAIJAN, ARMENIA
BAKU, DECEMBER 23. ARMINFO. The US Congress intends to provide equal
military assistance to Azerbaijan and Armenia next year, the US
ambassador to Azerbaijan Reno Harnish said. Considering Azerbaijan's
active involvement in the anti-terror coalition, the US President has
proposed to set the military assistance to Azerbaijan in 2005 at $8
million, he said. However, the US Congress exercised its authority
and set the figure at $2 million, the same package to be allocated to
Armenia. But the law on foreign allocations is not the only source
to be used in providing military aid to Azerbaijan, the ambassador
said. "We highly appreciate cooperation with Azerbaijan in the area
of security and fighting global terror," said Harnish, adding that the
US administration plans to continue this collaboration in the future.
