• Aleksandrs Gaponenko: it is planned to establish the parliament of non-citizens

 Vesti Segodnya interviews one of the initiators of the referendum for granting Russian language status of a state language in Latvia. Mr Gaponenko believes that despite the fact that the majority of Latvian citizens did not support the proposal on the status of Russian language, the referendum was very successful and its result is consolidation of Russian community on the basis of the value of native language. According to Mr Gaponenko, at present, there is active work on informing various international organisations about the problems of Russian speakers and non-citizens in Latvia. Also it is planned to establish the parliament of non-citizens in order to realise the rights of Russian community for representation in various structures. Mr Gaponenko also calls Russian speaking residents to actively fight for their rights, for instance, by boycotting companies un-friendly to Russian language.
