“In connection with the frequent statements by some Estonian officials about Russia's“ annexation ”of part of Estonia’s territory, the embassy would like to recall that in the border treaties signed in 2014, both sides confirmed the absence of mutual territorial claims,” the diplomatic service said in a statement.
The Russian embassy also clarified that there were no official notifications from the Estonian side about the revision of these agreements.
“At the same time, the Russian position was and remains unchanged: the Tartu Peace Treaty of 1920 became the property of historical archives after Estonia joined the USSR in 1940,” diplomats said.
The Russian embassy reported that speculation on the topic of "annexation" leads to tension in Russian-Estonian relations, which is not in the interests of most Estonians.
Põlluaas previously stated that Russia allegedly “annexed” part of the Estonian territories and now should “return them”, restoring the borders according to the Tartu Peace Treaty.
Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Kremlin said such a statement was unacceptable.
