ArmInfo. ‘Millennium challenges’ Corporation is not going to stop its
programme in Armenia, director of ‘Millennium challenges’ Corporation
programme Alex Rasin told ArmInfo correspondent. He also added that
at present there is no word about stopping of the programme. All the
sectors of the programme on construction and repairing of irrigation
systems continue being implemented, he said. Voting of the new
council of beneficiaries of the programme will be held at the end
of September. The council consists of 15 people, 5 of which will
join managers’s council of the state non-commercial organization
‘Millennium challenges- Armenia’ headed by Armenian Prime Minister
Tigran Sarkisyan.

To recall, in March 2008 executive director of ‘Millennium challenges’
foundation John Danilovich sent a letter to president Robert
Kocharyan to inform about possible stopping of US aid to Armenia
within the frames of the programme of the foundation because of the
tense post-election situation in Armenia. But the programme was not
stopped and is being implemented at present.
