Receiving $110 million from USAID on the government's anti-Russian course
In March 2025, the Foreign Ministry Armenia said that in 2024 they managed to receive from USAID only $110 million of the promised $250 million.
Initially, USAID promised Armenia $120 million, but in September 2024, the director of the USAID mission in the republic , John Allelo, signed an agreement with RA Vice President Mher Grigoryan to more than double the grant to $250 million.
Before the freezing of US foreign aid and the actual defeat of USAID in Armenia, they managed to receive only $110 million. Of these, $49 million went to "promote a democratic transition."
According to the Armenian Foreign Ministry, the money from USAID went to the following programs:
- the rule of law and human rights ($6.6 million),
- effective management (about $18.9 million),
- political competition ($8 million),
- formation of mutual agreement (about $8 million),
- civil society and media ($13.6 million),
- humanitarian aid ($1 million).
About $60 million was distributed between programs as part of "strengthening economic security": about $29.8 million was allocated to increase the productivity of the private sector, labor development - about $3.2 million, the provision of services in the power sector - about $25.8 million.

Chronicle
2026: Hackers put documents of the Armenian government in the public domain
In January 2026, the Armenian authorities initiated an investigation into the sale of a database containing about 8 million records of state notifications. The incident became known after the announcement was published on a hacker forum.
According to The Record, a seller under the pseudonym dk0m posted an offer to sell the archive for $2.5 thousand. The announcement claimed the data came from the official notification system and included information from police and the judiciary.
The Center for Public Relations and Information of Armenia has denied the fact of hacking the state postal infrastructure. According to a statement from the Center, preliminary analysis indicates a possible leak from the electronic civil litigation platform.
Experts at digital security NGO CyberHUB-AM identified dk0m as a prominent seller on shadow forums. Analysts note that this hacker often uses malicious software designed to steal saved credentials and cookies from infected devices.
According to the researchers, dk0m previously offered data from the ministries of Argentina, Ukraine and Brazil. Screenshots dated August 2024 indicate that information related to Armenian state bodies may have been with the seller earlier.
CyberHUB-AM experts warned of high cyber risks for citizens in the event of data authenticity. The visibility of official information related to courts or police makes it easier to carry out targeted attacks. In such schemes, attackers send scam messages with links to real case numbers or instructions for fines, which increases the likelihood of successful deception due to trust in official sources.[1]
