Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economic Relations, Peter Szijártó, has called for the European Peace Facility (EPF) to provide equal aid to Azerbaijan as it does to Armenia. Szijártó made this statement during a joint press briefing with Azerbaijani Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jeyhun Bayramov. Hungary, as the Chair of the European Council, is prioritizing supporting peace and cooperation initiatives between states. The EPF recently provided $10 million in aid to Armenia, and Szijártó believes that Azerbaijan should receive the same amount of aid. [be4a50e4]
