International Director of the American Jewish Human Rights Organization Leonid Stonov in an interview for

International Director of the American Jewish Human Rights Organization Leonid Stonov in an interview for "SM" singled out a large number of non-citizens in Latvia as the country's most important problem. He believes that "a zero option" could improve psychological climate in the country and contribute to the development of its economy. Stonov is surprised by the indifference toward naturalization displayed by non-citizens. The organization headed by Stonov is opening its Baltic office in Riga. The office will study the legislation of the Baltic states and the human rights situation in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. Stonov had meetings with Saeima Speaker Cepanis, Prime-Minister Skele, and Chairman of the Saeima Human Rights Committee Seiksts. SM
