Azerbaijan, Baku, July 27 / Trend , J.Babayeva/
The ruling New Azerbaijan Party (NAP) believes the increase in the number of proposals calling to repeal the 907th amendment in the U.S. Congress testifies the strengthening of Azerbaijan's good position in the world.
"Azerbaijan is a strategic partner for the United States and the presence of the 907th amendment is unsuitable in the two countries' relations. The U.S. accepts this reality. Therefore, initiatives have gradually increased to repeal this amendment which is not beneficial for cooperation between the two countries," Parliamentarian and Member of the NAP Political Council Aydin Mirzazadeh told the party's official website on July 27.
In October 1992 the US Congress approved the Law Act supporting freedom in regulating the distribution of state aid to former Soviet Republics.
The U.S government was forbidden to render aid to official Azerbaijani organizations by the 907th amendment. The effect of 907th amendment has been suspended by the U.S president on an annual basis starting from 2002 in accordance with privileges given by Congress in 2001. The effect of the 907th amendment has been suspended for 2009.
