U.S. SHOULD REMEMBER THAT TURKEY AND AZERBAIJAN KEEP ARMENIA IN BLOCKADE

“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.
