The Armenian Assembly of America today commended a Subcommittee on
Foreign Affairs for ensuring that taxpayer dollars are not spent on
funding a rail from Azerbaijan to Turkey bypass of Armenia.
As ArmInfo was informed from the Armenian Assembly of America,
the document says that draft project on the new rail construction
sponsored by the Turkish and Azerbaijani governments is aimed
at excluding Armenia from economic and regional transportation
opportunities. Congressman Breed Sherman told the Assembly that the
strict language of the document will ultimately help ensure that
taxpayer dollars will not be spent on efforts that would isolate
Armenia - which is already facing dual blockades by Turkey and
Azerbaijan. "The United States should look for opportunities to
improve, not hinder regional integration and economic cooperation in
the South Caucasus", - the Congressman said.
