13.03.2009 20:24 GMT+04:00
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The U.S. President Barack Obama signed a bill for
2009 financial year providing the maintenance of military aid parity
to Armenia and Azerbaijan; $48 million in assistance to Armenia and
another $8 million for Nagorno Karabagh, reported the Armenian
National Committee of America to PanARMENIAN.Net.
`We would like to thank Chairwoman Lowey, Chairman Leahy, and all the
supporters of Armenian American concerns on their two panels for
reaffirming military aid parity, approving a robust aid package for
Nagorno Karabagh, and doubling the Bush Administration's patently
insufficient $24 million aid request for Armenia,' said Aram
Hamparian, Executive Director of the ANCA. `We look forward, in the
coming year, with a new Administration in the White House, to working
with our Congressional friends to restore U.S. aid to a level
commensurate with actual needs in Armenia, the many challenges she
faces in the region.'
