Hussar to Armenian Foreign Minister: Armenia is a priority country for Estonia’s development cooperation

Hussar said at the meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia that Estonia was continuing the supporting of Armenia’s democracy and aspirations to accede to the European Union.

Hussar assured that Estonia’s bilateral relations with Armenia were excellent, and recalled the successful and meaningful visit of his Armenian counterpart to Estonia in March. “Since last year, Armenia is again a priority country for Estonia’s development cooperation. We have focused on supporting education and democracy,” Hussar said.

Estonia and Armenia have had successful joint activities in IT, space technology, education and culture.

Mirzoyan also expressed satisfaction with bilateral cooperation. “We have historic sympathy between our two counties,” the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia said. According to him, it is important that Estonia supports Armenia’s aspirations to become a member of the European Union, to be a part of the democratic world.

The situation in the South Caucasus and the factors influencing the situation there were also discussed at the meeting. Hussar underlined that Estonia considered it important to find a peaceful solution to the conflict in the region.

Hussar and Mirzoyan also spoke of Russia’s war in Ukraine and discussed the changed security situation in the world. Hussar emphasised that Ukraine’s victory and Russia’s continued international isolation were of key importance to ensuring feeling of security in relations between countries.

Chairman of the Estonia-Armenia Parliamentary Friendship Group Mati Raidma also participated in the meeting.
