The Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) commented on the latest effort by Congresswoman Anna Eshoo, Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., Congresswoman Jackie Speier, Congressman Adam Schiff, and over 20 House of Representatives’ colleagues advocating to maintain current levels of American aid to Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh).

“Congressional leadership is essential in rolling back the President’s proposed deep cuts in U.S. aid to Armenia,” said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. “ Attempts to slash aid to Armenia need to be met with strong bipartisan opposition and a renewed focus on empowering Armenia’s aid-to-trade transition, including the negotiation of a badly needed U.S.-Armenia Double Tax Treaty and establishment of direct Los Angeles to Yerevan commercial and cargo flights.”
