/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The U.S. White House Administration has not
presented any specific, particularly for Nagorno Karabakh budget to
the Congress. Financial aid to Nagorno Karabakh has being provided
based on the decision adopted by Congress itself," stated in Baku
U.S. Embassy Public Relations Officer Jonathan Henick.

He said depending on changes congressmen might introduce into the
budget, the administration can provide financial assistance only for
humanitarian needs.

Henick also underlined that information on the size of financial
assistance to Armenia and Azerbaijan, which recently occurred in Media
of both countries, has been lifted out of the context of the whole
program. "There is no guarantee that the budget presented by the White
House will undergo changes in the U.S. Congress. The assigned means
cannot be used for military projects, and Congress has the right to
introduce changes. But the presented aid budget reflects intentions
of the United States," the diplomat said, ‘Novosti-Azerbaijan’ reports.
