/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "To the best of my knowledge, US has already
started talking Senate out of adopting a resolution on assisting
Karabakh. Armenians hurry too much, and I don't think they will easily
manage to push forward with their initiative," leader of European
Jews Genadi Zelmanovich said.
"After Israeli President Shimon Peres' visit to Baku, the world
changed its attitude to Azerbaijan. Many Jewish organizations abroad
are now keen on considering Azerbaijan as Israel's friend country. I
believe American Jews will unite with their diaspora representatives in
Azerbaijan for making relevant response to Armenian lobby," 1news.az
quotes Peres as saying.
On July 9, US Senate's Appropriation Committee will hold voting over
the issue of providing foreign aid. Armenian National Committee of
America (ANCA) called upon Senate Committee Chair Daniel Inoy to
support the bill on providing $70 million to Armenia and $10 million
- to Nagorno Karabakh, as well as restore the parity in providing
military aid to Armenia and Azerbaijan.
ANCA reported earlier that US President's Administration had proposed
to cut aid to Armenia by 38% and increase military assistance to
Azerbaijan.
House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations has already
put the bill to vote. Committee members have voted for allocating
$48 to Armenia and $10 million - to Karabakh. Congressmen also voted
in favor of maintaining parity in providing military aid to Armenia
and Azerbaijan.
