The Administration, in its budget request to Congress, called for $5.3 million in military aid for Azerbaijan versus only $3.3 million for Armenia, APA reports. The Subcommittee action would allocate $3.3 million in military assistance to both countries, specifically $3 million in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) and $300,000 in International Military Education and Training (IMET).
The Subcommittee also approved $6 million in humanitarian assistance for Nagorno Karabakh.
In March of this year, Armenian Caucus Co-Chair Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) along with 30 of his colleagues [letter attached], sent a letter to Chairwoman Lowey and Ranking Member Wolf urging $10 million for assistance to Nagorno Karabakh, including development assistance, and not less than $75 million to Armenia in the FY 2008 Bill. In 2008 Armenia will be appropriated $ 68 million, that is 7 million lesser than in 2007. /APA/
