    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.
