Azerbaijan and Ukraine will hardly be covered by the US Millennium Challenge Account program aiming at contribution to developing countries in overcoming the social and economic problems experienced by them. As reported by “Arminfo” agency referring to the BBC, this may happen, as in the opinion of the US Department of State the authorities of the aforementioned countries are too much corrupted. According to the data possessed by the radio station, a special fund of $5 billion is created by US president George W. Bush to realize the program. At the same time, Bush stated that Washington was not going to finance “foreign corrupted administrations” and “the transparency of local authorities’ activities and absence of corruption at governmental level” are the main criteria for providing aid within the framework of the program. Within the next two years countries with average annual per capita income not exceeding $1500 may expect to receive aid.
