A bust of President Arnold Rüütel, created by sculptor Endel Taniloo, stands in the Rose Garden of the Presidential Palace in Kadriorg from Friday.
At the unveiling of the bust, President Alar Karis highlighted Arnold Rüütel's contribution to the continuity of the Estonian state and the building of a cohesive society.
According to Karis, the Rose Garden is a fitting place to honor someone whose life's work was closely tied to strengthening Estonia's statehood and ensuring the survival of its people.
