- “After the failed Soviet coup against Mikhail Gorbachev in 1991, Latvia along with the two other Baltic nations, Lithuania and Estonia, saw an opportunity to break free and declered independence. Seven Years later, Vike-Freiberga returned to Latvia to head the Latvian Institute charged with raising the nation's profile and within a year was elected president by the 100-membered Latvian Parliament. She is the first woman to hold such a position in an Eastern or Central European state.” (Ayca Ariyoruk. U.N. Reform Watch no.12, 2006)
