ArmInfo. It is shameful that US taxpayer dollars has been used to fund the persecution of Armenian Christians by Azerbaijan. Republican U.S. Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy wrote on his X (formerly Twitter).
" I'm astounded that not a single presidential candidate has even acknowledged the atrocity. Blocking military aid to Azerbaijan is the right step, " he added.
Yesterday, on November 16, the American Senate adopted a pro-Armenian project - S. 3000 (IS) - Armenian Protection Act of 2023, depriving Azerbaijan of military support.Thus, senators voted for a document that does not allow the president to use Public Law 107-115. The bill prohibits the President from waiving Section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act for the next two years. U.S. Senator Gary Peters (MI) introduced the bipartisan bill on September 29, 2023 in response to the Azerbaijani government's attacks on Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. If the project is adopted by the House of Representatives and signed by the head of state, it will prohibit the US President from waiving Section 907 and receive funding to help Azerbaijan from budget allocations for 2024-2025.
