Washington: A bill aimed at fully repealing Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act, which restricts U.S. aid to Azerbaijan, has been posted on the website of the United States Congress. The text of the bill highlights Azerbaijan's status as a loyal partner of the United States and its allies since gaining independence, emphasizing Azerbaijan's cooperation during both wartime and peacetime.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the bill acknowledges that Azerbaijan prioritizes peace in the South Caucasus and has reached a peace agreement with Armenia, mutually agreeing on respective borders and territorial integrity. The proposed legislation seeks to repeal Section 907 and remove related provisions from the law.

The bill's introduction follows a December proposal by U.S. House of Representatives member Anna Paulina Luna, aiming to fully repeal Amendment 907. This amendment currently restricts direct U.S. military and financial assistance to Azerbaijan.

In August, the U.S. President signed an executive order temporarily suspending the application of Amendment 907, initially adopted in 1992 to prohibit U.S. government assistance to Azerbaijan. Official Baku has expressed hope that the U.S. will take practical steps toward completely repealing the amendment, considering the development of U.S.-Azerbaijan relations and Azerbaijan's growing regional role.
