Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related
Programs offered to increase humanitarian assistance to the separatist
regime in Nagorno Karabakh, from USD 2 mln to USD 5 mln. The Armenian
National Committee of America said that the subcommittee rejected
Obama administration's proposal to cut assistance to Armenia by USD
7,5 million. As a result of Congressman Adam Schiff's efforts it
was proposed to increase assistance to Nagorno Karabakh by 150%,
to save the same amount of assistance to Armenia, to assist the
Samtskhe-Javakhetia region of Georgia, as well as offered to maintain
military parity between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The Subcommittee called the US Administration to formulate a strategy
for aid to the Armenian population of Georgia's Javakhetia region. The
Subcommittee also called U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to
render assistance to Armenians and other Christian peoples who are
in a difficult situation after the recent turmoil in the Middle East.
These proposals were included in the agenda of the Congress
Appropriations Committee.
