TALLINN - A draft bill submitted to the Estonian parliament on the burial of servicemen could entail the destruction of the Monument to the Soviet Soldier-Liberator of Tallinn, the Estonian Russian language organization Night Watch said in a statement on Friday.
"Nationalists are increasing tensions and are continuing to speak of pulling down the monument as if it were a decision that has already been adopted," it says.
"Now this issue has been forwarded to the parliament, the draft bill entitled 'on the protection of military burials and the withdrawal of forbidden constructions,' the remains of soldiers could be reburied away from the monument, which may itself be pulled down or destroyed," it says.
