Update on U.S Government Assistance Cuts to Armenia

09:53, April 16, 2015

The U.S. Embassy would like to announce some anticipated changes to its assistance budget for FY2015, which would take effect October 2015.

The assistance budget of the United States is a reflection of our ongoing and emerging national security challenges, President Obama's signature policy and development initiatives, our security commitments to allies and partners, and our conflict prevention, nonproliferation, and peacekeeping activities around the world. Because of new global priorities and developments over the past year (including the Ebola crisis, ISIS, Syria and Ukraine), some difficult decisions had to be made regarding our assistance programs globally. These new priorities meant that assistance funding to many countries all over the world, including in Europe, was significantly reduced.
