PanARMENIAN.Net - Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna has hailed the EU's decision to start visa liberalization talks and provide 10 million euros ($11 million) in non-lethal military aid to Armenia as “historic”.

“Historic decision today is Brussels as EU agreed to start both the visa liberalization dialogue & EPF support for Armenia”, Tsahkna said in a post on X.

“This is an important milestone towards peace & democracy in the region. Estonia fully supports this step.”

The foreign ministers of EU member states unanimously made the decision during a session of the 27-nation bloc’s top body, the European Council. In a statement, the council confirmed that the assistance will be used creating a field hospital and auxiliary facilities for a battalion-size Armenian army unit.
