Armenia
The adoption of the U. S. state budget is a routine process, which
takes place at the beginning of every year. The sum primordially
inquired by the U. S. President's administration usually differs from
the one approved by the Congress as a result, RA MFA Spokesperson
Vladimir Karapetian stated while commenting, at DE FACTO request,
the information that, according to the draft state budget for 2009,
economic aid to Armenia would be reduced.
Answering a question if it could mean that in 2009 parity in
U.S. military aid to Armenia and Azerbaijan will not be broken Vladimir
Karapetian stated the process of the budget's consideration had just
begun: hearings, discussions of all the articles of the budget will
be held at the U. S. Congress, and, according to the results of the
talks, a decision that will satisfy all the parties, including the
Armenian side, will be made.
To note, a few days ago the Armenian Assembly of America circulated
a statement, according to which the U. S. President George Bush had
presented a draft state budget for 2009, which provided reducing
economic aid to Armenia. Besides, according to the draft, parity in
military aid to Armenia and Azerbaijan is broken.
