Despite active efforts by Armenian lobby օrganizations and congressmen in recent months, US direct assistance to Artsakh failed to be maintained. The Trump Administration decided to end financing the Demining Program in Artsakh.
The Armenian Center for American Studies has repeatedly presented the active work of the Azerbaijani authorities, including the money spent in the US National Security Council to advance their interests. It was the US National Security Council to determine the future of this program.
It should be noted that the United States was the only state other than Armenia that provided direct financial assistance to Artsakh without recognizing its independence.
