YEREVAN. - U.S. President Barak Obama's call to reduce economic funding
of Armenia by 19 per cent is connected with the deep financial crisis
in the country, Armenian political scientist Yervand Bozoyan told
the reporter of Armenian News-NEWS.am.
According to the expert, despite the financial crisis the USA has
foreign policy priorities due to which the U.S. president called to
increase the funding of realizing international military education
in Turkey, as 'Turkey plays an important role as a global partner'.
"Turkey cooperates with the U.S. on the Iranian and Syrian issues,
that is why Washington considers that the funding of Turkey should
not be reduced, moreover, it should be increased," Bozoyan mentioned.
As the expert pointed out, it does not matter what disposition Armenia
has in the Iranian and Syrian issues as Armenia's factor is rather
weak and the Turkish factor is strong.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, Barak Obama called to
reduce the funding of Armenia by the United Stated of America by 19
per cent. At the same time, he called to increase Turkey's funding.
