Head of public relation section of US embassy to Azerbaijan, Jonathan
Henik, commented information leaked out from Armenian press that in
2007 financial assistance of USA for Azerbaijan will exceed the one
for Armenia.

"Information about the size of financial assistance for Azerbaijan and
Armenia published by mass media is torn from the context of general
program. And there is no guarantee that budget presented by White
House won’t be amended by US Congress", he declared.

"These means can’t be used for military projects", he declared adding
that "Congress has right to amend but presented assistance budget
reflects White House’s intension".

"As far as I know US Administration of White House hasn’t presented
any special budget for Nagorni Garabagh. Financial assistance
for Nagorni Garabagh was rendered on the basis of decision taken
by Congress. Depending on amendments to be made by congressmen
administration may render this assistance only for humanitarian
purpose", Henik said.
