"The Estonian step towards normalizing relations with Russia, proposing to compensate for the occupation damages, is, first of all, a protection of human rights. It is an attitude towards aggression, the wrongs inflicted by the foreign state's violence, which must be redressed at least partially," Landsbergis' statement circulated on May 19 read.
Landsbergis noted that Parliament has also asked the government to negotiate with Moscow over compensation for damages from 50 years of occupation.
Russia has assessed all such attempts as "unfriendly steps," and the Russian Foreign Ministry stated on May 18 that Estonia's efforts to get compensation were doomed.
