US Azeris Network director general: If Armenians attain restoration of amendment 907, it will affect Armenia more than Azerbaijan

Obama has not yet sent his letter to congress about suspension of amendment 907 for another year (that is for 2010), but still there is time, said Adil Baghirov, co-founder and general director of US Azeris Network (USAN) and candidate of political sciences.

According to him, the Committee on Assignments of the House of Representatives of the Congress stiffened rules for 2010, under which the president can suspend amendment 907.

"It is surprizing but if Armenians attain restoration of amendment 907, like it was before President Bush, it will affect Armenia equally or more, as in frames of the concept of parity in military assistance, the United States won't be able to provide this assistance to both countries. Azerbaijan has no special need for the US military assistance especially taking into account that 50% of it is spent by the US side for its bureaucratic and other needs and it is about 0.25% of Azerbaijani military budget. As for Armenia, even a million of foreign aid is necessary for it", concluded the diplomat.
