BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 5. With the Trump
administration coming to power, the situation has completely
changed, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said during an
interview with local television channels, in response to a question
about Section 907, Trend reports.
"Azerbaijan-US relations have now risen to a new level, and we
expect Congress to lift this unjust amendment, a relic of the past
that is completely absurd today,” the head of state added.
Pointing out that goods are currently flowing from various
locations to Armenia via Azerbaijani territory, roads have been
opened, and even Azerbaijani petroleum products are being exported
to Armenia, the head of state said: “If the formal reason for
Section 907 was a blockade, that no longer exists today. Therefore,
of course, we expect the Trump administration to use its
capabilities to convince members of Congress, especially those from
the Republican Party, that this amendment must be fully lifted –
and we have sufficient grounds for such hope.”
