    Nagorno-Karabakh, Asbarez reports.

    In his letter addressed to House Appropriations Committee Chairman
    Harold Rogers and Kay Granger, Chairwoman of the Appropriations
    Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs,
    Congressman 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

    practice of the Appropriations Committee, under both Democratic and
    Republican control," the letter reads.
