US Senate Appropriations Committee calls for $65 million in aid to Armenia

The US Senate Appropriations Committee approved a series of measures, including the Fiscal Year 2025 State Foreign Operations Bill, calling for $65 million in assistance for Armenia, the Armenian Assembly of America (Assembly) reported.

“We welcome the Senate Appropriations Committee support for the Armenian people,” stated Assembly Congressional Relations Director Mariam Khaloyan. “The inclusion of not less than $65 million of much needed aid to Armenia addresses the continuing consequences of the 2020 war, and the influx of over 100,000 Armenians driven from their ancestral homeland of Artsakh as a result of Azerbaijan’s genocidal policies.”
