Baku: 'In the context of Azerbaijan-US relations, 2025 can also be considered a historic year,' President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during an interview with local television channels on January 5, APA reports.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the President noted that the Section 907 amendment, which had been adopted due to the activities of anti-Azerbaijani forces in the United States and the Armenian lobby, had previously prevented the establishment of broad-scale relations between the US and Azerbaijan. President Aliyev emphasized that this restriction has now been removed. He cited two main reasons for this development: the official end of the Azerbaijan-Armenia war and the presence of the Trump administration in power in the United States. He described the administration as being composed of pragmatic and professional members who are well aware of America's national interests, with the President leading them.

President Ilham Aliyev also highlighted the symbolic significance of President Donald Trump signing the waiver of Section 907 during a ceremony at the White House, which he had attended in person.
