Citing Estonia's experience of the Soviet Union, Reinsalu said he strongly disagreed with the assertion.

Addressing an international conference on crimes committed by communist regimes, Estonian Justice Minister Urmas Reinsalu said on Wednesday that he would respond in writing to the refusal by his Greek counterpart, Stavros Kontonis, to attend the event in Tallinn.
