From: Jim Yarker Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 8:08 PM Subject: "NATO Out of Latvia!" The ruling bourgeois-comprador elite of Latvia, even before entering NATO, is doing its
best to serve the interests of its imperialist lords.
With this purpose
the government has approved the construction of
a radar station on
Latvian territory. This will serve as part of the
air
defense system of the aggressive imperialist bloc. The construction
of the radar station is planned to take place in a
populated area in the
Rezeknenskii region. This would jeopardize the life
and health of the
local population.
Additionally, Latvia is planning to enter NATO despite the will of the people of that country. According to sociological
polls conducted by
the independent organization, “Prata Sp?ks”, 70% of
the population
opposed Latvia entering NATO, 20% refused to
express its opinion
and only 10%
supported it. To allow the construction of such a station
on Latvia's soil in these conditions is an act of
national treason by the
government. Moreover, the radar station is planned to be built near the village Audrini, where
exactly 60 years ago Nazi Germans, in cooperation
with Latvian collaborators, committed one of the most dreadful
crimes against humanity on Latvia soil. The fascist hordes completely
destroyed the village of Audrini and shot almost its entire population in
the Anchupanski forest for giving shelter to four Soviet war
prisoners who
had managed to escape. Today's betrayers of Latvia have given
the green
light to the imperialists to construct a tool of aggression above the
bones
of the Latvian patriots, who gave their lives
for its freedom and independence
during the Great Patriotic War. This is an insult
to the memory of those
heroes and victims of the Great Patriotic War and
the history of our people.
Over 19 thousand signatures demanding a halt to the construction of the radar station
have been already collected in the Rezeknenskii region.
Signatures are being
collected in other regions of Latvia. Several social
and political organizations have joined this campaign and are supporting
the demand of the people of Latvia.
We call on all social, political and Marxist organizations and honest citizens abroad to send messages of protest against the decision of the Latvian government: 1.Latvijas ministru prezidents (Prime Minister) A. Andris Berzins Latvijas Republikas ministru kabinets Brivibas bulvaris 36, LV-1520, Riga, Latvija 2.LR Aizsardzibas ministrija (Ministerstvo oboroni Latvii) K.
