BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 5. 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, Trend reports.
Noting that the Section 907 amendment – adopted due to the
activities of anti-Azerbaijani forces in the United States and the
Armenian lobby – had prevented the establishment of broad-scale
relations between the US and Azerbaijan, the head of state
emphasized that this restriction has now been removed. He stated:
“There are, of course, two main reasons for this: first, the
official end of the Azerbaijan-Armenia war, and second, the
presence of the Trump administration in power in the United States.
This administration includes members who are very pragmatic and
professional, and they know very well what America's national
interests are, with the President in charge.”
President Ilham Aliyev highlighted the symbolic significance of
President Donald Trump signing the waiver of Section 907 during a
ceremony at the White House, which he attended in person.
