Official Baku is not concerned with 907 Amendment to the Act of
Freedom of the US Constitution. Araz Azimov, Deputy Minister of
Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan informed.
“This amendment lost its force. That every year the US President
freezes the 907 amendment is an open caution for the Congress. Thus,
Congressmen adopted in due time “907” amendment against Azerbaijan,
have been already unmasked”, informed A. Azimov. This amendment was
adopted due to supposedly in 1992 Azerbaijan “blockaded Armenia”. The
document banned the US to assist to Azerbaijan on any level.
Later the 11 September 2001 events the Congress took into consideration
Azerbaijan’s accession to anti terror coalition, and raised a question
concerning elimination of this amendment before the President. Since
ever annually, the White House submits this issue to discussion,
but do not withdraw the document.
A.Azimov informed that however, he does not precisely when at last, to
happen, but thinks that the Congress won’t turn off the elected path.
“We are already receiving the US aid. Currently we observe when the
White House just is forced to withdraw this document. Otherwise,
it will be forced to deal with Pentagon, as it closely cooperates
with Azerbaijan”, A.Azimov concluded.
