Latvia. and Lithuania. thus ending the existence of these countries as free and independent nations. That invasion and occupation and the imposition of the Soviet regime was a flagrant act of aggression and continues as such today. The Soviets have deported to their country more than a half million people from Estonia. Latvia. and Lithuania. regardless of the fact that the U.S.S.R. joined the Genocide Convention.
