2 августа: Два комитета Сената США сегодня и завтра проведут слушания по Турции и Кавказу (АПА)

Комитет по внешним связям 2 августа проведет слушания по утверждению кандидатуры, номинированной президентом Обамой в качестве посла США в Турции. Некоторые про армянские сенаторы выступают против этой кандидатуры. Армянский Национальный Комитет Америки (ANCA) призвал сенаторов серьезно изучить мнение посла по вопросам «геноцида армян», положение религиозных меньшинств в Турции и американо-турецких отношений.

3 августа Комите Сената по ассигнованиям рассмотрит план иностранной помощи на следующий год. Недавно его подкомитет одобрил $ 40 млн. пакет помощи для Армении, вместо $ 60 млн. Помощ комитета не распространяется на Нагорный Карабах. Это решение вызвало протест армянской общины в США. Они требуют увеличить помощь Армении, выделить финансовые ресурсы для Нагорного Карабаха и прекратить помогать Азербайджану.

The United States and Ukraine have signed a minerals deal after a two-month delay, in what President Donald Trump's administration called a new form of US commitment to Kyiv after the end of military aid. Ukraine said it secured key interests after protracted negotiations, including full sovereignty over its own rare earths, which are vital for new technologies and largely untapped. Trump had initially demanded rights to Ukraine's mineral wealth as compensation for US weapons sent under former president Joe Biden after Russia invaded just over three years ago.
