    Armenia Contributes to Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts


    As soon as news reports indicated the degree of damage that the US has
    suffered as a result of Hurricane Katrina, the Government of Armenia
    immediately offered help in the form of rescuers and medical personnel.
    However, it became clear that the immediate need is for financial resources.
    Therefore, at its Thursday September 8 Cabinet meeting, the Government
    decided to allocate $200,000.00 to the US for relief efforts.

    The funds are being transferred via the Foreign Ministry to a special
    Katrina Relief Fund.

    The US Embassy in Yerevan expressed its gratitude on behalf of the US
    government for the help that the Armenian people are providing.
