Providing grants to Armenia and Georgia within the Millennium Challenge Account outraged Azerbaijan's leaders. Many Azeri media noted "the US did not experience gratitude feelings and allow dual standard policy regarding Azerbaijan, though the country's Government has provided a number of political and economic benefits and preferences to the US." Besides, "providing that type of financial assistance to Armenia does not suit the neutral position of a state, which has assumed the responsibility of a mediator at settlement of the Karabakh conflict," reports Irna.
