US Extends Waiver of Section 907
President of the United States George Bush signed a Presidential
Determination to extend the waiver of Section 907 of the Freedom
Support Act with respect to assistance to government of Azerbaijan on
January 13.
Section 907 prohibits U.S. assistance (with the exception of
humanitarian assistance and assistance for nonproliferation and
disarmament programs) to the government of Azerbaijan under the
Freedom for Russia and Emerging Eurasian Democracies and Open Markets
Support Act of 1992 (also known as the Freedom Support Act) `until
the President determines, and so reports to the Congress, that the
Government of Azerbaijan is taking demonstrable steps to cease all
blockades and other offensive uses of force against Armenia and
Nagorno-Karabakh.' The legislation imposed sanctions on Azerbaijan,
despite Armenia's continued occupation of Nagorno-Karabagh and seven
additional regions of Azerbaijan.
