Requires US to review aid to Armenia if Azerbaijan doesn't follow peace rules.
This bill would require the US Secretary of Defense to make sure Azerbaijan is taking important steps for peace with Armenia. This includes respecting ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh. If Azerbaijan does not meet these steps, the President would lose the power to pause certain aid rules for Azerbaijan. The US would also look at and possibly boost its security help for Armenia.
Today, the President can use a specific waiver to allow certain United States assistance to Azerbaijan, and there is no explicit requirement for the Secretary of Defense to certify Azerbaijan's actions regarding Armenia. After this bill, the Secretary of Defense would be required to annually certify Azerbaijan's compliance with specific peace steps. If this certification cannot be made, the President would lose the power to use that waiver for Azerbaijan, and the US would immediately review its security assistance to Armenia.
