Latvian Foreign Ministry has banned entry to the territory of the country for the three representatives of the Russian show business - singers Valeria, Oleg Gazmanov, Joseph Kobzon. The reason was their support for "annexation of the Crimea" and derogatory statements about the policy of the Ukrainian authorities, writes ee24.com citing delfi.lv.
Real Estate in Riga and Jurmala is owned by Gazmanov's relatives, but the singer won't be able to visit them. Valeria and Iosif Kobzon are also not random people in the history of this Baltic State: they've many in Latvia many times. In particular, Valeria, whose career started exactly in Jurmala 22 years ago, and who was supposed to be in jury, won't be able to legally stay in the territory of Latvian state.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that these persons may already be in Latvia and in the case of such facts, they will be expelled quietly, without "show with the arrests."
