  • Archbishop Janis Vanags: ethnic Russians living in Latvia will always remain ethnic Russians
  • Actions in support of granting Latvian citizenship to non-citizens held in London, Kaliningrad and Vilnius

According to the archbishop of Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church Janis Vanags, ethnic Russians living in Latvia will always remain ethnic Russians and Latvia should take care that they are able to preserve their identity. Mr Vanags believes it is important to decide how ethnic Russians and ethnic Latvians can be integrated within one society with common aims and values. Among the common aims there should be Latvia as European country where ethnic Latvians have possibilities to determine their destiny and realise identity and Latvian language should be the state language, believes the Archbishop. Chas, Neatkariga (19.10.2012)

Vesti Segodnya reports about brief public actions in support of granting Latvian citizenship to non-citizens held near the Latvian embassies in London and Vilnius and consulate in Kaliningrad. Participants of the actions wanted to draw international attention to the problem of large scale non-citizenship in Latvia.
