The internal situation in Moldova continues to heat up, the possibility of division in society increases after the statements of Gagauz officials. Currently, around 90% of the region’s population is in favor of secession, and Moldovan authorities can only avoid a military conflict if they reach an agreement and stop cutting off the region’s funding. stated Political scientist Sergei Stankevich for the 360 TV channel.
The expert noted that a total of approximately 250 thousand Gagauz people live in Moldova and that they have historically tended to cooperate with Russia. They have always opposed the country joining NATO and unifying with Romania. The political scientist explained that for this reason, they threatened to leave the country otherwise. The situation was further escalated by the reaction of the Moldovan authorities to these threats – they cut off autonomy from budget financing. Stankevich believes that this measure should be eliminated to soften the conflict.
“If you respect their rights, do not cut them from the general Moldovan budget, meanwhile they continue to pay taxes, if you do not cut them from payments, if you do not offend or insult them, then I think the Crisis can be solved,” he said.
The political scientist stated that the residents of Gagauzia did not give any reason for the military attack, they just wanted their rights to be respected, and described this as a normal civilian attitude. He concluded that as of today there is no room for military intervention, especially foreign intervention.
Let us also remind you that Gagauzia officials stated that they would ask for help from Moscow if Chisinau tries to prevent the independence of the region by military means. They threaten to separate if there is rapprochement between Moldova and Romania. President Vladimir Putin assured that Russia will “always support” Gagauzia, see more details – In the material “socialbites.ca”.
