    CONGRESSMAN FRANK PALLONE SPEAKS ABOUT LACK OF KARABAKH ASSISTANCE

    Congressman Frank Pallone, Monday wrote House Appropriations
    Committee Chairman Harold Rogers and Kay Granger, Chairwoman of the
    Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related
    Programs to express his concerns of reports that the Subcommittee has
    broken precedent by failing to provide funding for humanitarian and
    development assistance in Nagorno Karabakh. In past years, funding
    for Nagorno Karabakh had broad bi-partisan support. Pallone expressed
    concerns about the repercussions this lack of funding would have in
    the region.

    "Since 1998 USAID and other agencies have been providing funds for
    humanitarian and other assistance programs in Nagorno Karabakh as a
    result of the Appropriations Committee's work. The decision to provide
    no funds to Nagorno Karabakh in Fiscal Year 2012 is a break with the
    practice of the Appropriations Committee, under both Democratic and
    Republican control," Pallone wrote in the letter.
