(MENAFN- AzerNews)
Elnur Enveroglu read more The U.S. Embassy to Armenia reported that in March, USAID
Armenia signed a $15 million agreement to implement the“Media
Program in Armenia” project with Internews Network, a U.S.
organization, in collaboration with local media development NGOs,
the Media Initiatives Center and the Yerevan Press Club, and an
international group, the Zinc Network, Azernews reports citing international media.
According to the news release, the project will as though
strengthen the information space in Armenia by enhancing
journalistic standards and content quality, catalyzing the
competitiveness and financial viability of public interest media,
and fostering the enabling environment for independent information
flow.
It should be noted that after the 44-day war, Armenia started a
serious financing process in the military field as well as in a
number of fields. Even according to the information provided by
Armenian sources, the military budget of Armenia reached 45 percent
compared to the military budget of Azerbaijan. It should be added
that the annual GDP of Armenia is one third of the GDP of
Azerbaijan. In this case, the fact that Armenia has such a serious
investment in the military field also raises serious questions.
As regards the financing the media sphere, the U.S. Embassy's
Public Diplomacy Section announced it will make a $ 2.3 million
investment into a U.S. exchange programs for journalists, as well
as graduate-level journalism education in Armenia.
According to the release, the first project will be the
“U.S.-Armenia Professional Partnership in Journalism,” a U.S.
exchange program for professional journalists. The second project
will take the form of a U.S.-Armenia university partnership to
establish a Center for Excellence in Journalism at an Armenia
university.
Thus, all the steps taken show that instead of reviving the
prosperity of its economy, Armenia is seriously arming the
military, education, and media sectors. So, a fact appeared in the
middle, which reveals that Armenia is a militant state in the South
Caucasus.

USAID was created as a branch of the US Central Intelligence
Agency and is currently engaged in actively interfering in the
internal affairs of individual countries under the guise of aid. It
is no coincidence that this organization allocated 9.5 billion
dollars for the construction of civil society in various countries
in 2023-2025. According to some information obtained, there is no
doubt that these funds will be directed to the implementation of
coup plans in various countries within the framework of the
'Doctrine of Democracy' announced recently.
