A key U.S. House panel responsible for foreign aid voted today to approve $44 million in economic aid to Armenia - a figure $4 million less than the $48 million the same body adopted last year, but $4 million more than the amount proposed earlier this year in President Obama’s budget request to Congress, APA reported quoting panorama.am website.
The aid to the separatist regime in Azerbaijan’s Nagorno Karabakh region has been increased up to $10 million, $2 million more compared with the previous year.
The panel chose to maintain parity in Foreign Military Financing at $3.5 million and International Military Education and Training allocations, at $450,000, to Yerevan and Baku.
Spokesperson for U.S. embassy in Azerbaijan Keith Bean told that the embassy has not received official information about it.
