The Day of Mourning and Hope is held today in Lithuania. It is dedicated to the 66th anniversary of deportation of Lithuanians to Siberia in June 1941. As a REGNUM correspondent informs, official part of the Day of Mourning and Hope started from a special session at the Lithuanian Seimas, in which Prime Minister Gediminas Kirkilas, Lithuanian ex-president Algirdas Brazauskas, those who signed the Lithuanian Independence Act, members of the Constitutional Court, clergymen and other guests.
“This day of remembering on the genocide must become not only a mourning day, but a day of hope, so that, without any revenge we had hope for material compensation to victims, and the main thing, for moral compensation,” Speaker of the Lithuanian Parliament Viktoras Muntianas announced in his speech. Speakers after him were more categorical. Some of them called for “seeking compensation from Russia for the occupation as actively as resumption of the Druzhba pipeline functioning” and accused the Lithuanian government of being inactive regarding the issue. “The countries to blame must hold the account for the damage,” some Lithuanian MPs announced.
In July 2006, oil from Russia stopped coming to Lithuania because of an accident at the Druzhba pipeline. They in Lithuania called the accident “political.” After that Lithuania raised the issue of resuming oil supply at different levels.
