Armenian Protection Act of 2024
HR 7288, the Armenian Protection Act of 2024, repeals the waiver authority that allows the President to bypass restrictions on U.S. aid to Armenia. Specifically, it prevents the waiver of Section 907 of the Freedom Support Act for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, which currently blocks U.S. assistance to Armenia due to historical disputes. This bill directly affects Armenia's eligibility for certain U.S. foreign aid programs by removing the possibility of executive branch waivers for those years. The key mechanism is the permanent removal of the waiver option under the specified appropriations law, changing the policy landscape for U.S.-Armenia aid relations.
