The President of the United States has also presented the State Budget
for 2010 though it is not the final version. But we are disappointed,’
Arpi Vardanyan, the director of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh offices
of the Armenian Assembly of America said. The U.S. President has been
always saying that both Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh will get equal
support, he has been also saying that Armenia and Azerbaijan will get
equal military support. `After all of that, he has not kept his
promise,’ Arpi Vardanyan said. According to Vardanyan Armenia will get
30 millionUSD financial support next year, while this year Armenia
received 48 millionUSD. Even more, next year Armenia will receive 450
thousand USD military support and Azerbaijan 900 thousand. Vatdanyan
says that the Community should be strict to demand equal support for
both countries. `We should keep in our minds that Turkey and
Azerbaijan still are keeping Amrenia in blockade. All these should be
taken into account when sharing the support,’Vardanyan said.
