ArmInfo. Hungary is blocking a project to provide Armenia with support worth 1 million euros from the European Union's Peace Fund (European Peace Facility), which was agreed upon within the alliance several weeks ago.
As reported by diplomatic sources to the RFE/RL's Armenian Service , Hungary is demanding the inclusion of Azerbaijan in the program, which, according to the same source, is on the table for discussion in order to break the deadlock.
RFE/RL's Armenian Service notes that in mid-April it became known that a preliminary agreement had been reached in Brussels to provide assistance to Armenia in the amount of 10 million euros from the European Peace Facility. According to diplomatic documents, the money was to be used to create a modular field camp for one battalion, which would also include one medical station, as well as related services and facilities. "The purpose of this support is to help the Armenian Armed Forces increase its resilience and stability- building capabilities and thereby better protect civilians during crises and emergencies," the document says.
