Garry Kasparov seeking Latvian citizenship
Former world chess champion Garry Kasparov is seeking Latvian citizenship, Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty reported.
Reports say Kasparov has sent a letter to all Latvian parliamentary factions asking to be awarded citizenship.
He writes that Latvian citizenship will allow him to be involved in political activities in Russia and elsewhere "without any restrictions."
Kasparov says he wants to retain his Russian citizenship, however.
