Pushkov suggests presenting draft resolution condemning Latvian marches of Waffen-SS veterans to OSCE PA
MOSCOW. March 18 (Interfax) - Chairman of the State Duma international affairs committee Alexei Pushkov plans to suggest that the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA) in summer 2016 endorse a resolution condemning a march of Waffen-SS veterans in Latvia, the attempts to revise the outcomes of the Nuremberg Trials.
At a meeting on Friday the State Duma considers the lower house's address to the parliaments of the OSCE member countries, which is dedicated to the world community's ignorance of the Latvian policy permitting marches of SS veterans.
"I believe that we will draw the attention of our colleagues in the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly to this at the next session, which will be held in Tbilisi in early July. A draft resolution can also be drafted on the basis of this address. I believe that this draft [of the resolution] may be supported by a large number of lawmakers in the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly," Pushkov said at a State Duma meeting on Friday.
He said that far from all parliamentarians from the European Union countries agreed on the EU policy ignoring manifestations of neo-Nazism.
