"The Islamic extremist organisation Isis is currently committing all kinds of atrocities against the innocent Iraqi civilians. Estonian government has therefore decided that we will support the Kurdish forces fighting against Islamic extremists with Soviet-era ammunition that is no longer needed by Estonia," the Foreign Minister said in a press briefing.

According to Paet, Estonia will also support the Iraqi and Kurdish refugees, fleeing the Islamic extremists, with humanitarian aid worth 70,000 euros.
