AMERICAN LEGISLATORS ONCE AGAIN STOOD UP FOR ARMENIANS

The US Congress has decided not to curtail the aid provided to Armenia

November 22, 2004
The House of Representatives has accepted the proposal of Subcommittee on External Appropriations to provide Armenia military assistance in sum, which is four times as much as the one administration insisted on. The legislators considered the initiative of the White House to provide Azerbaijan in 2005 8 million dollars and Armenia with 2 million with a view of strengthening the military forces baseless. The Congressmen have agreed to the arguments provided by the Armenian Assembly of America and Armenian National Committee and have decided to equalize the military assistance provided to the two warring countries. Yerevan and Baku will get 8 million and 750 thousand dollars each.
