Riga will continue to support the Belarusian people. Replacing the flag of Belarus at the stand of the flags of the countries participating in the World Ice Hockey Championship in Riga is an adequate political reaction and a signal that Latvia does not recognize the ruling regime of the neighboring state, President of the country Egil Levits said in the broadcast "900 Seconds" on TV3, reports the website jauns.lv. The decision of the Lukashenka regime to expel all Latvian diplomats from the country, according to the president, was a reaction to the consistent actions of Latvia after the Belarusian authorities committed an unprecedented violation of international law that poses a threat to international air traffic.
