The Estonian World Review is reporting that the President of Estonia, Toomas Hendrik Ilves said this week that he believes President of Estonia Toomas Hendrik IlvesRussia’s recent behavior is a clear indication they want to create a new international world order.

President Ilves gave the remarks during a speech for the opening of the Annual Conference on Human Rights. He said that Russia’s new rhetoric and authoritarian behavior, also involves interpreting human rights as merely a phenomenon of civilization.

He also said, “I’ve used the expression annus horribilis to characterise 2014. This is the opposite of the annus mirabilis of 25 years ago, which saw the fall of the Berlin Wall – an event that gave hope for freedom and democracy.”

“This year, we have witnessed military action and the annexation of territory, justified through demagoguery and ideological excuses, such as the protection of citizens. Russia’s actions in Ukraine have violated all the post-Cold War international agreements on which the peace since World War II has been based.”
