The Bush administration is going to increase the volume of the military aid to Azerbaijan, Department of State Deputy Spokesman Adam Ereli stated at a briefing. The executive has already submitted the budget inquiry to the Congress.

According to some informal sources, the U.S. intends to allocate Azerbaijan $28 million for the support of democratic reform, $4.5 million as military assistance and $885 thousand for the training of the military, reported ITAR-TASS
