The Foreign Ministry notes with regret that the statement issued by the Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation on August 2 is erroneous and based on ideological clichés and is not geared towards promoting Estonia-Russia relations.
The memorial event that took place in the Sinimäed hills on 30 July is a customary, civic-initiative event that corresponds to internationally accepted practice for commemorating those who fell in World War II, like those held in many other countries. The Erna Raid is an internationally recognised military-sporting competition.
The Republic of Estonia has condemned the crimes of all the totalitarian regimes that occupied Estonia and denounces any ideological manipulation of this topic.
