In Azerbaijan, a demand has been made to the United States to repeal Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act.

“It is well known to everyone that this amendment, adopted in 1992, prohibited the provision of US government assistance to Azerbaijan and was an unjust step that carried the character of open discrimination against our country. This amendment has been a factor creating difficulties in our bilateral relations,” head of the Press Service Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) of Azerbaijan, Aykhan Hajizada, said in an interview with APA news agency of the country.

“This step taken by the US President reflects the true nature of the Azerbaijan-US partnership and further strengthens mutual trust and strategic cooperation between the two countries. This step is an indication of the beginning of a new era of cooperation with the US We are hopeful that, taking into account the prospects for the development of relations between Azerbaijan and the US and our country’s growing role in the wider region, the US side will take concrete steps toward the complete repeal of this amendment,” Hajizada added.
