Section 907 hampers Baku-Washington relations - ambassador

Section 907 hampers Baku-Washington relations - ambassador
04.06.2025 09:30

Azerbaijan hopes for the repeal of Section 907 by the United States, which hampers the development of bilateral relations, Azerbaijan's ambassador to the U.S. Khazar Ibrahim said in an interview with Diplomatic Watch.

He said Section 907, adopted during the occupation of Azerbaijani territories and amid ethnic cleansing against Azerbaijanis, was the result of lobbying pressure in Congress. “This was an unfair measure against Azerbaijan,” the diplomat noted.

Ibrahim stressed that strong ties remain between the United States and Azerbaijan. “Our strategic location makes relations with the United States particularly important. Azerbaijan plays a role in almost every issue that matters to the U.S. At the same time, for us, the United States is not only a global superpower but also a country with which we share common interests and values,” he said.

The ambassador added that Azerbaijan has maintained close cooperation with the United States and Israel for many years, contributing to the security of the South Caucasus and beyond. He said the development of the Azerbaijan-Israel-U.S. cooperation format serves the interests of all three countries, and Baku is interested in expanding it further.

As an example, Ibrahim cited the Middle Corridor — a route linking Europe and Asia. “This is the shortest, fastest, and most economically efficient route that will benefit Israel, Azerbaijan, and the United States. We transport not only oil and gas but also other goods important for Israel and neighboring countries,” he said, adding that the project is considered within a broad regional context.
