Sten Hankewitz, the Executive Editor of Estonian World, writes that by closing the Estonian consulate general in New York City, the country’s government is ripping the heart out of Estonia’s 20th century history and destroying the very principles of the continuity of the Republic of Estonia.

The Estonian foreign ministry is to close the country’s consulate generals in New York City, NY, and San Francisco, CA; the NYC consulate general operated throughout the Soviet occupation of Estonia and can be regarded as a monument to the continuity of the Republic of Estonia.
