Obama orders to allocate 10 mln dlrs for displaced Kyrgyz persons.
WASHINGTON, August 28 (Itar-Tass) -- US President Barack Obama has
ordered to allocate up to 9.5 million dollars in assistance to displaced
people in Kyrgyzstan, the press office of the White House said on Friday.
These funds will be disbursed from the Emergency Refugee and Migration
Assistance Fund.
The document dated August 26 does not explain whether the authorities
in Bishkek will get additional assistance, or the sum in question is part
of the package drawn up in Washington after the recent riots in
Kyrgyzstan. As U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central
Asian affairs Robert Blake said late last July the Obama Administration
had promised Kyrgyzstan up to 48 million dollars in emergency aid.
