Freedom Support Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Freedom Support Act of 1992 (FSA, HR 282, not to be confused with the Iran Freedom and Support Act of 2005 (S 333)) is an act passed by the United States Congress.
Created through the act are the U.S. Civilian Research & Development Foundation, the Armenia School Connectivity Program and other organizations founded to foster growth in the former Soviet Union.
In 1992, funding from the Freedom Support Act and USAID helped create American Business Centers (ABCs) under the United States Commercial Service, designed to operate in the developing markets of Russia and the Newly Independent States to stimulate economic growth and create jobs in the United States.
Section 907 specifically prohibits Azerbaijan from participating in programs created by the act.
