Nice and thank you, but, after 6 years and a lot of reforms, one would say the amount is pocket change, compared to other western orienting countries. I say this with our strategic geography with the east-west trade routes passing through Armenia, a potential pipeline, something they made them go as far as to overlook the Artsakh genocide, and with Russia trying to topple the pro western government several times now.
I don’t know, only 20m to protect your interests? What if Russia succeeded at a coup?
Yes, yes, we’re not entitled. I’m just trying to understand the US interest level here.

*Working with Congress, USAID and the U.S. Department of State announced $20 million for Armenia to bolster cyber, border, and energy security and to strengthen resilience against complex threats and challenges. An additional $600,000 of Promoting Information Integrity and Resilience Initiative (ProInfo) funding has been announced through USAID to enhance the technological capacities of independent media to produce impactful and public interest journalism, leverage innovation to promote media and information literacy, and to bolster the local advocacy for key media reforms in Armenia*
So what, the money will be used to hire experts, pay for equipment or infrastructure? Also, how does more money = more independent and impartial news media?
