TALLINN - Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet has condemned Russia's recent statements concerning the so-called "Bronze Riots" of 2007.
"This statement instigates new political emotions on the basis of lies and is not directed to improving Estonian-Russian relations," he said.
The official Russian statement, which referenced the riots that shook Tallinn following the removal of a statue and the remains of Soviet soldiers to a military cemetary, said Estonia's move was part of "a large-scale smear campaign against the liberators of the Estonian capital from Nazi occupiers."
