/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Any democracy and human rights sanctions against
Armenia should be directed against the country’s Government which
is responsible for the existing situation, ANC coordinator Levon
Zourabyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent, commenting upon
Millennium Challenges Corporation’s (MCC) decision to suspend funding
project for Armenia. "The whole problem is that those sanctions are
against Armenian people’s vs. Government’s interests, that’s why I
am against the decision," Mr. Zourabyan stressed.

American Millennium Challenges (MC) corporation suspends its funding
project. Such decision was adopted during directors’ board meeting
presided over by Hillary Clinton. As mentioned by corporation’s
General Director Rodney Benta, responsibility for the decision lies
upon Armenian Government which does not act in conformity with the
Corporation’s principles aimed at developing democratic governance,
US State Department’s Press Service reports.
