Key House Panel approves $40 mln in aid to Armenia
Today, the House Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs approved the Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 State-Foreign Operations Appropriations Bill, which calls for $40 million in economic assistance to Armenia, reported the Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly).
The Subcommittee's allocation is on par with the Administration's request.
The Subcommittee's Bill did not specify funding levels for Nagorno Karabakh. However, Congress has routinely called for up to $10 million in annual U.S. assistance. The Subcommittee's Bill did call for funds to be made available "for confidence-building measures and other activities in furtherance of the peaceful resolution of conflicts, including in Nagorno Karabakh."
