The military base in Narva – there is an intention, there are no plans
Last week it became known about the state’s intention to place a military base in Narva. This was a surprise not only for citizens, but also for the city authorities. The Narva Gazeta tried to figure out where the base could be placed when this will happen and how it could affect our life.
This idea will have to carry out defense forces. Over two hundred Estonian troops and units of the Allies will be placed in Narva-this was announced this week by the chief of the General Staff of the Defense Forces of Estonia Major General Vakhur Karus.
The news caused an ambiguous reaction of both the public and the city authorities. The mayor of Narva Katri Raik noted that she herself learned that the Narva would “enter the troops” from the news. “Subsequently, it turned out that no one can provide any details. Where the base will be placed when the like and the like. I think that the state could build communication, especially on such sensitive topics, more careful and more profitable,” Raik said.
« At the next opportunity »
As it managed to find out the Narva newspaper, the placement of the military base in Narva was proposed during the coalition negotiations between the ruling parties (the 200 Party of Reforms and Esti). The editorial office was told by a member of the Parliamentary Security Commission, Kalev Stoicke (Eusta 200).
In general, the Narva Internet community reacted to the news favorably. The appearance of hundreds of attractive young people in the city is the main argument in favor of future changes.
“Yes, we were talking about this in coalition negotiations, and we have an agreement as part of the coalition that the Narva will have the rotational presence of the Armed Forces, and not the“ base. ”The chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces reported this to the public,” Stage said.
According to him, this is an extremely necessary and timely decision, since the international security situation has seriously worsened. Estonia and its allies should inevitably take into account that the threat from Russia is serious and long -term.
“Narva is Estonia, just as the outskirts or Pyarn, and we will demonstrate that we will protect our country from the first centimeter and from the first second, if the eastern neighbor, despite the deterrence of NATO, will decide to take a new military or any other aggressive adventure. We will in no way want war, but we will defend ourselves in any case,” the Stoica summed up.
In the General Staff of the Defense Forces, where we also turned for explanations, practically repeated the theses of Stoica Word of Word, adding only that “the issue of construction is in the hands of the Department of Defense Resources, and the“ base ”will be created at the immediate opportunity.”
The Narvites already guessed to everything
The creation of a military unit in Narva has become the most discussed topic on social networks last week. In general, the audience reacted to the news neutral-Blagly. The appearance of hundreds of attractive young people in the city is the main argument in favor of this idea.

Here are a few comments of subscribers of the telegram channel suffering Narva:
– It is economically profitable. It is possible to increase the birth rate. The main thing is that their location is outside the city’s line behind the cadastic quarry, where the Soviet base was previously stood. Well, the guys understood that the city with our disposition was with our disperse, it was better to keep silent again, to move away.
-As a person who is sick of the city, I think, for Narva, these are +200-250 people of consumers of all kinds of good, and their location is interesting and important for me in this context.

There is a solution, but there is no action plan
We summarize those facts that are definitely known about the appearance of the military in Narve. It is supposed to create a small compound in which 200-300 people will be accommodated on a rotational, that is, a “shift” basis. These will be both military service soldiers and professionals, plus our allies. Construction « will begin when it begins. »
