U.S. Congressman Frank Pallone expressed his concerns of reports
that the Appropriations Subcommittee has broken precedent by failing
to provide funding for humanitarian and development assistance in
Nagorno-Karabakh, Asbarez reports.
In his letter addressed to House Appropriations Committee Chairman
Harold Rogers and Kay Granger, Chairwoman of the Appropriations
Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs,
Congressman expressed concerns about the repercussions this lack of
funding would have in the region.
"Since 1998 USAID and other agencies have been providing funds for
humanitarian and other assistance programs in Nagorno-Karabakh as a
result of the Appropriations Committee's work. The decision to provide
no funds to Nagorno-Karabakh in Fiscal Year 2012 is a break with the
practice of the Appropriations Committee, under both Democratic and
Republican control," the letter reads.
