    BUSH ADMINISTRATION REDUCES MILITARY AID FOR ARMENIA

    The administration of US President George W. Bush
    suggests the Congress to render Azerbaijan more
    military aid to Azerbaijan ($4.5 million) than to
    Armenia (3.5 million) in 2007. In effect, this is a
    violation of an agreement between the Bush
    administration and the US Congress in the aftermath of
    9/11 attacks on the size of military aid to Armenia
    and Azerbaijan.

    The draft US budget envisages $50 million of economic
    aid for Armenia. "Every year the Bush administration
    provides less aid to Armenia than the Congress
    envisages," Frank Pallone, co-chair of the
    Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, said
    promising to make every effort to increase economic
    and military aid for Armenia.
