    OFFICIAL BAKU DISCONTENTED WITH US CONGRESS
    BAKU, JULY 2, ARMENPRESS: Azeri foreign ministry issued a statement
    yesterday condemning a US decision to provide 5 mln dollar in
    assistance to Nagorno Karabagh as part of its assistance to foreign
    countries.
    The statement says Azerbaijan is concerned that the money provided
    by US Congress to Nagorno Karabagh could be used "to encourage
    separatism, extremism and other illegal activity on the territory of
    Azerbaijan." It also says that the decision could affect the conflict
    resolution.
    A key subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives approved
    last week equal U.S. military assistance to Armenia and Azerbaijan,
    calling for $5 million in military aid to each of the two countries.
    The earlier version of the bill drafted by the administration of
    President George W. Bush asked for $8 million to Azerbaijan and only $2
    million to Armenia.
