YEREVAN. – The Armenian government will accelerate allocation of a credit to the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, the government decided on Thursday.

Armenia's Finance Minister Gagik Khachatryan said the government plans to allocate 21.8 billion drams to Nagorno-Karabakh for the first six months of 2015.

Given the need for new funding, it is decided to allocate additional 2 billion at the expense of the IV quarter, leaving the annual amount of the loan the same.

“We restructure the necessary support to our colleagues in Nagorno-Karabakh, especially when we have such an opportunity,” Khachatryan added.
