the funding of the projects within the framework of Millennium
Challenge Account, the Armenian side will find means from other

Robert Kocharian stated that he received a letter from the Executive
Director of the Millennium Challenge Corporation John Danilovich with
a warning on the possible freezing of the program.

regret, however, we will find means for the realization of the started
and planned programs. In this connection, I asked Mr. Danilovich to

funded from the Asian Development Bank, a part - from the state budget,
and another part - from other sources.
