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.
