Questions of aid for Armenia will be among a broad range of US assistance issues addressed by members of the House as they start drafting the foreign aid bill for fiscal year 2016. As in the past, the specific text of the measure will not be made available until after the subcommittee’s consideration. The Armenian National Committee of America will be sharing details on issues of concern to Armenian Americans as they become available. ANCA is urging friends of Armenia across America to reach out to their legislators and visit a website to voice opinions on: 1) ending military aid to Azerbaijan until it agrees to pull back its snipers, cease its aggression, renounce violence, and commit to a purely peaceful resolution of regional conflicts; 2) releasing $40 million in US economic assistance to Armenia; 3) focussing on addressing difficulties in providing humanitarian and resettlement aid to Armenians fleeing from Syria.
