The United States announced its intention to provide military-technical assistance to Azerbaijan

57

The American administration has decided to renew the so-called exception, which allows the provision of military-technical assistance to Azerbaijan. Recall that in the United States there is a document that prohibits deliveries weapons, ammunition and dual-use products to a country not included in the circle of its closest allies, if that country participates in hostilities. During the war in Karabakh, the United States implemented its own legislation in this regard. Now we decided to recall the "exception" that allows this kind of delivery.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, speaking on the phone with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, said that earlier Washington could not provide military-technical assistance to Baku. Blinken named the reason mentioned above.



Now, according to the head of the American Foreign Ministry, the tension in Nagorno-Karabakh has subsided, and therefore the United States resumes the "exception", on the basis of which the supply of military and dual-use cargoes to Azerbaijan can be carried out.

From a statement by the US Department of State:

The provision of American aid meets the interests of both the United States and Azerbaijan, since this aid is aimed at supporting efforts to combat international terrorism.

The statement also notes that American assistance contributes to the operational readiness of the US partners in the broad anti-terrorist coalition.

US State Department:

American assistance is essential to ensure the security of Azerbaijani borders.

Blinken, in a conversation with Aliyev, expressed satisfaction with the agreement reached with Armenia on stabilization in Nagorno-Karabakh. At the same time, Blinken did not specify against which terrorists and in which region Azerbaijan would have to use what the United States calls aid.

      The United States removed the 907 amendment, which makes it possible to sell weapons to Azerbaijan. They need Azerbaijan. Oil, gas, arms sales, destabilization of Armenia and so on .... By the way, against Iran too. Azerbaijan did not dare to open an embassy for a long time, a couple of days ago there was news that there would be an embassy and a consulate. This decision came right after their spiritual leader gave an interview about the need to establish closer relations with Armenia.

      I don’t know, they understand that the blow for them may come from there .......... or to spite Azerbaijan, I don’t know.
      As for the weapons, the Abrams and F35s will definitely not be bought. Probably the question will be about small arms, Javelinov, armored cars and so on ...

        Given the military cooperation with Russia, Israel and Turkey, it is not clear what kind of US weapons Azerbaijan will need. It is rather a sign of cooperation in the economic and political spheres. Pass to Western markets, a sign that "ours".

          I agree. I also do not know what kind of weapon can be useful to Azerbaijan except for the F-16 of the latest modification. Azerbaijani pilots are familiar with this colossus. In Turkey, they fly on them. F22 and F35 will not be sold to Azerbaijan.

                So it will cost 2 times more expensive in the purchase and the cost of operation is higher (although how to count). In Pakistan, Azerbaijani pilots are already training on JF-17.
                In general, both aircraft have their own ±. For Russia, it would be better if the Pakistani plane was.

                    In 1918, Russia gave them the country. With all conviniences. I took on the hard work. And the Armenians were settled straight into chocolate. But no ... From all sides, everyone owed them. Karabakh - in Azerbaijan, Kars - in Turkey, Javakheti - in Georgia, and they will quarrel with Iran and the inhabitants will start singing there with a claim about their ancient lands. Greed has ruined the frayer. Because of this behavior, they are at enmity with all neighbors. Accordingly, they were shielded from all world projects. Debt, a low standard of living, the economy is in a deplorable state, migration, represented by all neighbors and allies, is not in the best shape, the defeat of the army, the loss of land. And Karabakh provided them with 70% wheat, so concerts are ahead of them. In short, the only option for them to start living is to coexist in honor and conscience. Otherwise, enmity with all of them will only aggravate them. Armenia is already a mono-country. And as the pandemic ends, there will be a new wave of migration. They have a really bad economy. The main infrastructure belongs to the second countries including the railroad. And how long will they live with an outstretched hand? You cannot quarrel with your neighbors and not remember what happened in the days of the dinosaurs and how Ashot "the Great" ruled then. Since the whole world will start asking to remake for that era .... everyone. Losers are not seen in the person of Azerbaijan?

          Greetings to the fiery cat!
          As usual on this site everything was messed up.
          Since September 2001, after the well-known terrorist attack, the US administration has annually suspended the effect of Amendment 907. The issue is not so much in the sale of weapons, but in the possibility of interaction. In the war in Afghanistan, the logistics capabilities of Azerbaijan were widely used.

        The United States removed amendment 907, which makes it possible to sell weapons to Azerbaijan.

        Behold, golden words!
        But why?
        I will answer.
        A turmoil is planned against the Persians.
        Here are the facts. Despite the "peaceful" attitude of "Cheerful" Bidon, the conductor there are completely different people.
        Namely, Lloyd Austin, Joseph Burns (Kiryukha Aliyev), by the way, he owns the strategic thesis voiced in 2012 that the United States needs to rethink the United States' policy towards Azerbaijan and rely on Aliyev. Next on the list, Robert Ashley and Anthony Blinkin himself and the cherry on the cake Yossi Cohen are true from Israel.
        It is no secret that the emerging dialogue between the homeless and the Persians, as well as the lifting of sanctions, are extremely unprofitable for Israel.
        All is good, but (!) There are two key figures of the "orchestra", one of them, Aliyev, is categorically opposed and still obstinate Kamala Haris.
        Aliyev is promised a "BIG" Azerbaijan. Due to the north-western provinces of the Persians (20 million Azerbaijanis) and about 9 million in Iran itself.
        But Aliyev rightly believes that even if they are allowed to create (in which He himself does not believe), then simply sowing Azerbaijan will "dissolve" with the newly united.
        Agree, there is only one thing to keep 10 million citizens in the situation with the situation with the Foreign Exchange Power, Aliyev personally.
        And to unite with almost 30 million more compatriots who yearn for change and democracy is quite another.
        Moreover, the gaze of the entire political space of the World will be turned to Azerbaijan.
        We frankly admit that the Powerful of this World close their eyes to the current situation in Azerbaijan, vryatli will just as calmly look at the "united" Azerbaijan.
        For this reason, amendment 907 was temporarily suspended.
        Delegations of the military-industrial complex, Turks, Japanese, Italians, Pakistanis and Israelis are not leaving Azerbaijan.
        From this Aliyev took the risk, which he ALWAYS avoided. By announcing the opening of a consulate and possibly an embassy in Israel.

          I read it today. Iran will be shaken along the way. Your analysis is healthy. It may well be. If the northern part of Iran, where 30 million Azerbaijanis live, is transferred, then rich deposits in the Caspian will also be transferred to them. Direct corridor on all 4 sides.

      Here's another interesting thing.
      America recognized the Armenian genocide in the Turkish Empire, and how did Aliyev react to Blinkin's arrival now, because Erdogan is his "best friend", yes, that there is a friend, brother, almost a half-blood ... or is it time to change "brother" again?
      Recently, the US came out with a proposal to Armenia on the supply of weapons, and how now?

      There is a struggle against China and Russia, Turkey, Britain and the United States are allies in it. They are moving to Central Asia, without Azerbaijan this cannot be done. Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are hesitant, it is necessary to show the benefits of cooperation with the Anglo-Saxons and Turks.

      The recognition of the genocide is a pass on the side of the Armenians, there is a struggle for Armenia as well. Biden agreed on this action with Erdogan and they work together to squeeze Russia out of the RA. Typical good and bad cops.

To double these qualities, he ended international relations. Soviet school of diplomacy. He probably already has plans for 50 years from his father, plus his own head. Do you think he's stupid?)))))

This is the power there. Bankers, general directors of military factories, the federal reserve, that's who dictates the conditions there. So the Armenian theme is no more than an instrument there. I am sure there are people among the Armenians who understand that games are played on their bones. I'm already silent about what happened or not. So, I think that the United States needs Azerbaijan as logistics this time. The route is convenient. There is nothing interesting that Azerbaijan can buy from the United States, except for the F-16 of the latest modification. For both allies of Azerbaijan, these aircraft showed themselves from an excellent side. Turkey and Pakistan have F-16. I think the Azerbaijani side will not buy JF17. Or the Americans want to shove their wares. Perhaps the help can be financial. Azerbaijan can easily buy everything else from Israel, the quality of which is not worse than the American one, and maybe in some ways better. Azerbaijanis know what to buy from whom. Crazy grandmas ran out when a barrel of black cost 200 green. Now savings are needed even though Azerbaijan has about 45 billion only in foreign currency reserves. Or it can shake Iran. Because, a couple of days ago, Azerbaijan decided to create an embassy of Azerbaijan in Jerusalem and a consulate. This was decided a day later as Iran announced its deep relations with Armenia. So that's it. They will always be used ...

And since some Central Asian countries, members of the OKDB, America will not be a peacekeeper, but Turkmenistan is the weakest link on the border with Afghanistan. Aliyev also sees that Russia may not fulfill the agreement on the presence of peacekeepers in Karabakh, alas, but 30 years of mediocre politics in the Caucasus is only confirms my guesses.

    The United States announced its intention to provide military-technical assistance to Azerbaijan

    That's right, they brought up the Taliban and chaos in Afghanistan, increased drug trafficking from there by 1218 times - the job is done, it's time to go to Azerbaijan.
    "Comrade" Aliev will approve of everything. Karabakh is good, it is patriotic, but too many Turks is bad, it is an inevitable loss of power. It's time to invite the USA ...
    In Russia, it is necessary to permanently fix the political decisions of Azerbaijan from the moment of the collapse of the USSR to the establishment of "friendship" with the United States, take the appropriate political position and, when the hour of reckoning comes, simply forget about any pity and not allow even the slightest compassion, while this place, which is now called Azerbaijan will not lose forever the ability to make independent political and economic decisions.
