WASHINGTON. —The Senate Appropriations Committee Thursday adopted a Fiscal Year 2014 (FY14) foreign aid bill that prioritizes continued U.S. assistance for Nagorno-Karabakh, reported the Armenian National Committee of America.

In a legislative report, which accompanies and explains the foreign aid bill, the Committee “recommends assistance for victims of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in amounts consistent with prior years and for ongoing needs related to the conflict.

The Committee urges a peaceful resolution of the conflict.” Similar to a parallel measure moving through the U.S. House, the Senate FY 2014 foreign aid bill was silent on specific funding levels to Armenia or any of the other Caucasus countries.
