Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-Chair Frank Pallone called on his House colleagues to support expanded U.S. aid to Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, and a number of other pro-Armenia provisions in the Fiscal Year 2012 foreign aid bill, reported the Armenian National Committee of America.
In a letter addressed to congressmen, Pallone urges them to join with him in co-signing a Congressional letter.
He intends to ask bipartisan leadership of the Appropriations Subcommittee on State-Foreign Operations to support the inclusion of the following provisions: at least $60 million in economic support funds for Armenia, at least $10 million in development aid to Nagorno-Karabakh, maintaining military aid parity to Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Pallone also calls to remove barriers to U.S.-Nagorno-Karabakh contacts and communications, support for reinstatement of Nagorno-Karabakh in the OSCE Minsk Group peace process and at least $10 million in military aid to Armenia.
