    ALMOST NO MONEY WILL BE SPENT THIS YEAR

    Armenia will manage to carry out work costing 4-6 million by the
    program "Millennium Challenges" if it finishes the preparation
    phase till autumn. The SU Fund has allotted 235 million 650 thousand
    USD to Armenia to reconstruct the village roads and to improve the
    irrigation system.

    The Minister of Finance and Economy Vardan Khachatryan returned to
    Armenia after signing an agreement with the head of the MC Fund John
    Danilovich in the USA. He rendered a press conference today about
    the details of the business trip.

    The Government is ready to carry out all the works financed by the MC
    Fund on the highest level as the financing can be ceased if the heads
    of the Fund are discontent with anything. The most important part
    of the information given by the Minister is that after signing the
    agreement the US State Secretary Condoleezza Rice invited the Armenian
    Minister Vardan Oskanyan and Vardan Khachatryan to her office and had a
    private conversation with them about issues concerning Armenia and the
    settlement of the Karabakh conflict for 10-15 minutes. The Minister of
    Finance and Economy did not inform any details about the conversation.

    According to the report given by Vardan Khachatryan, 945 km of village
    road will be reconstructed for which 167 million 100 thousand USD will
    be spent. The Government has decided to spend 145 million USD for
    the programs "Village Development", "Irrigation", and "Construction
    of New Water Reservoirs".

    The rest of the sum - 23.5 million, will probably be spent on
    consultations, the salaries of the workers of the "Millennium
    Challenges" state non-commercial organization and on financing of NGOs.

    Vardan Khachatryan also said that the head of the MC Fund John
    Danilovich will come to Armenia in two weeks.
