identities to each in their area of identity threatens the
likelihood of the democratic discourse and common action
in a single society.” (End of quote)
So, we conclude that the right of persons, belonging
to minorities, to maintain their identity, which the OSCE
recognised as unquestionable, is viewed by the State of
Latvia as a threat to an ultimately single integrated society.
Therefore, the attack on the education rights of Russianspeakers in Latvia limits their rights to preserve and
develop their identity, puts it under threat and pushes
Russian-speakers into assimilation.
That is OUTRAGEOUS! We protest.
