The Estonian delegation headed by the country’s President, Toomas Hendrik Ilves, has left a forum for Finno-Ugric nations in protest at comments made by the Chairman of Russian Duma’s (Parliament’s) International Affairs Committee, Konstantin Kosachev, who said that Estonia’s ethnic policies are “unprincipled”.

For censorship considerations, Russian media have concealed from their readers the fact that Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves left not only the conference room in protest of the slander against Estonia voiced at the so-called “Fifth World Congress of Finno-Ugric Peoples”, but he also left Russia and returned to Tallinn …

According to earlier reports, 6 people were injured. All of the victims of the explosions in Gagry are locals, Echo of Moscow (“Ekho Moskvy”) reported.
