BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 5. We worked for many
years to have this Section 907 repealed, President of Azerbaijan
Ilham Aliyev said during an interview with local television
channels on January 5, Trend reports.


"However, it was a very difficult process, and only after the
events of September 11, 2001, did the U.S. President waive the
amendment with his signature, and this continued until 2024," the
head of state added.


Emphasizing that the Biden administration halted the waiver of
the section after the U.S. mission in Afghanistan ended, President
Ilham Aliyev stated: “In other words, Azerbaijan was no longer
needed once the Afghanistan mission was over, and thus the
amendment was reinstated. Of course, this had no impact on our
economic development and could not have had any. However, it once
again demonstrates how ungrateful and ungracious the Biden-Blinken
administration was.”
