President of the Republic of Moldova Nicolae Timofti demanded the withdrawal of the Russian troops from Transnistria — the country’s breakaway region –- while addressing the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“The Russian forces that are still present on the territory of the Republic of Moldova without host national consent and in contradiction with Constitutional frameworks and international commitments, should be finally withdrawn,” said Nicolae Timofti during his speech.<\/p>\n

He added that the Transnistrian conflict undermines Moldova’s national security and territorial integrity, hampers the economic development of the country and splits the society. The President also referred to the human rights violations in the region, which, according to him, “generates stagnation on the left bank of Nistru River.”<\/p>\n

“Preserving the status-quo is not a viable solution anymore,” Mr. Timofti added.<\/p>\n

The President emphasized that Moldova’s ultimate goal is to reintegrate the country within “its internationally recognized borders as a functional state with a clear European prospective.”<\/p>\n

Present in New York for the 67th Session of the UN’s General Assembly, Moldovan President met with his American counterpart Barack Obama on Tuesday at a reception organized by the U.S. President in New York.<\/p>\n

Transnistria is an internationally unrecognized entity proclaimed in Tiraspol on September 2, 1990, initially styled the Moldavian Transnistrian Soviet Socialist Republic. Currently known as the Moldavian Transnistrian Republic, this breakaway entity consists of a narrow strip of land (180 km by 32 km) nestled between the east bank of the Nistru River and the border of Moldova with Ukraine, on a small part of what used to be, between 1924 and 1940, the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.<\/p>\n

In 1992 escalated a conflict between Moldova and Russia over this territory. A cease-fire was signed the same year by president of Russia Boris Yeltsin and president of Moldova Mircea Snegur. An agreement to withdraw all Russian forces from the trans-Nistrian districts of the Republic of Moldova was signed by Moldovan Prime Minister Andrei Sangheli and Russian Prime Minister Victor Chernomyrdin in 1994. It stipulated that the 14th Army was to leave the Republic of Moldova within three years, but the agreement was never ratified by the Duma, Russia’s legislature.<\/p>\n

The Transnistrian conflict settlement is made within the “5+2” format. It includes representatives of the sides, mediators and observers in the negotiation process – Moldova, Transnistria, Russia, Ukraine and the OSCE (as mediators), and the US and the EU (as observers).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
