Yerevan /Mediamax/. The Board of Millennium Challenge Corporation has
not sent Armenia an invitation to submit a project proposal this year.
U.S. Ambassador to Armenia John Heffern said it to journalists at the
farewell press conference, answering the question as to whether rumors
regarding the U.S. Corporation's rejection of Armenia's request are
true or not.
The U.S. Ambassador noted that getting support from Millennium
Challenge Corporation is a multi-step process, the first step of
which presumes monitoring of country indices.
"If the presented indices of a country do not comply with the set
norms, then the latter cannot submit a proposal. Over the past two
years, Armenia's indices used to comply with the requirements, yet,
they were barely crossing the minimum threshold, especially in terms
of the anti-corruption index", he noted adding that in general, out
of 23 countries meeting the indices two or three get an invitation
to submit a project proposal.
