The Estonia-Azerbaijan Parliamentary Group of the Riigikogu (Parliament of Estonia) expresses its deep condolences to the people of Azerbaijan on the 31st anniversary of the Khojaly massacre
Edgar Savisaar, one of the leaders of the Estonian independence movement in the late 1980s as well as the head of the government when Estonia regained its independence from the Soviet Union in August 1991, died on 29 December at 72.
The Riigikogu's defense committee has unanimously decided to extend the term of Estonian Defense Forces (EDF) commander Lieutenant General Martin Herem for an additional two years. While Herem was to stay in the position to December 2023 in any case, the changed security situation has prompted the extension, in the interests of stability.
