**Waiver of Section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act With Respect to Assistance to the Government of Azerbaijan**

**Memorandum for the Secretary of State**

Pursuant to the authority contained in Title II of the “Kenneth M. Ludden Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2002” (Public Law 107-115), I hereby determine and certify that a waiver of section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act of 1992 (Public Law 102-511):

• is necessary to support U.S. efforts to counter international terrorism;

• is necessary to support the operational readiness of U.S. Armed Forces or coalition partners to counter international terrorism;

• is important to Azerbaijan's border security; and

• will not undermine or hamper ongoing efforts to negotiate a peaceful settlement between Armenia and Azerbaijan or be used for offensive purposes against Armenia.

Accordingly, I hereby waive section 907 of the FREEDOM Support Act.

You are authorized and directed to notify the Congress of this determination and to arrange for its publication in the *Federal Register* .

THE WHITE HOUSE,
