    The U.S. Department of State is unable to clearly explain the reasons
    why almost half of the funds intended for Nagorno-Karabakh is being
    held back, ANCA Spokeswoman Elizabeth Chuljian told NEWS.am.

    The U.S. Department of State claims Nagorno-Karabakh does not need the
    funds. However, what is the reason, she asked. According to Chuljian,
    it is the result of the work by Azeri lobby, which is doing its best
    to block U.S. aid to Nagorno-Karabakh. "We know the funds are of
    vital importance for Nagorno-Karabakh," she said.

    ANCA demands that the U.S. Department of State honor the U.S. Congress
    resolution. ANCA is cooperating with the U.S. Congress to resolve
    the issue. As to the possibility of a favorable outcome, Chuljian
    said that it is not a matter of days, but it is possible.

    ANCA conducted an investigation which showed that since 1998
    Nagorno-Karabakh has received U.S. $25m less than the U.S. Congress
    had planned to allocate. According to ANCA, less than U.S. $36m of
    the Congress-planned U.S. $61m has actually been allocated. About U.S.

    $12m of the U.S. 25m deficit have accumulated due to the Obama
    administration not spending the funds during its first two years.
