• MEP form Latvia Tatjana Zdanoka: Crimea is a Russian revival

The MEP form Latvia Tatjana Zdanoka in an interview with TV channel LTV1 said that the case of Crimea is a Russian revival. Mrs Zdanoka also said that the Crimean case became possible because after the fall of the Soviet Union Russians residing in national republics became losers. According to Mrs Zdanoka, rights of Russian residents as ethnic minorities got infringed and Russian language was not granted status of official in the majority of the new states. Mrs Zdanoka also believes that Latvian could become a bridge between Russian and Western countries instead of choosing hostile rhetoric. Vesti Segodnya
