U.S. House Appropriations Subcommittee of Foreign Operations has expressed concern about President Biden’s waiver of Section 907 restrictions on U.S. aid to Azerbaijan and the disparity in military assistance between Armenia and Azerbaijan, urging that “military balance between Azerbaijan and Armenia and the diplomatic consequences of such disparity in military assistance be considered by the Secretary in any decision with respect to the renewal of the Section 907 waiver during Fiscal Year 2022.”
The U.S. Appropriations Subcommittee on Foreign Operations recommended not less than $50 million in U.S. assistance to Armenia, “for Armenia for economic development, private sector productivity, energy independence, democracy and the rule of law, and other purposes,” and not less than $2 million in demining activities in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh).
