Underlying the very nature of United States – Armenian relations was Armenia’s unconditional support for the United States in its campaign against the international terrorism on the wake of terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. Immediately upon the commencement of the Operation Enduring Freedom the Armenian Government granted blanket clearance to fly over Armenia’s territory, as well as refueling and landing for the coalition aircraft. Medical treatment was offered for U.S. troops in Armenia’s hospitals including in the regionally unique Spinal Injuries Treatment Hospital of the Armenian Red Cross which Armenia Fund has sponsored its renovation and key upgrades.
