The Committee Assignment in the U.S Senate approved the bill of law on
the allocation of foreign aid for fiscal-2010 by getting 29 votes
against 1, Armenian media said. The bill proposes $30 million for
Armenia, or $18 million less than in fiscal-2008. The bill also
proposes the allocation of $22 million to Azerbaijan.
Nothing was allocated for self-declared Nagorno-Karabakh in
2009. Presently the U.S Congress continues to discuss the bill of law
on the allocation of foreign aid. The bill of law will be discussed in
the House of Representatives and the Senate. Afterwards, the bill will
be submitted for U.S president to sign.
