Means assigned to Yerevan and Baku cannot be used for military projects

PanARMENIAN.Net - "The U.S. White House Administration has not presented any specific, particularly for Nagorno Karabakh budget to the Congress. Financial aid to Nagorno Karabakh has being provided based on the decision adopted by Congress itself," stated in Baku U.S. Embassy Public Relations Officer Jonathan Henick. He said depending on changes congressmen might introduce into the budget, the administration can provide financial assistance only for humanitarian needs.



Henick also underlined that information on the size of financial assistance to Armenia and Azerbaijan, which recently occurred in Media of both countries, has been lifted out of the context of the whole program. "There is no guarantee that the budget presented by the White House will undergo changes in the U.S. Congress. The assigned means cannot be used for military projects, and Congress has the right to introduce changes. But the presented aid budget reflects intentions of the United States," the diplomat said, 'Novosti-Azerbaijan' reports.
