Members of European Parliament debated political crisis in Moldova at their plenary sitting on Thursday. They called upon Moldovan President Vladimir Voronin to condemn violence applied against protesters, to carry out an objective investigation into violation of human rights, and bring offenders to responsibility.

European parliamentarian Olly Ren named the situation in Moldova as a very fragile one, and said the forum is strongly concerned about mass-scale violations of human rights here, stressing they must be investigated under an international control.

MEP Peter Nekas stated President Vladimir Voronin must abide by democratic principles and must condemn violence against protesters. He called upon the Moldovan authorities to launch an investigation jointly with the European Union and to sue those who stood behind the violence in Chisinau streets.

European parliamentarians will present the results of their debate, conclusions and recommendations in a special Resolution of the European Parliament. Next week, a EU mission is expected to come to Chisinau to study in detail the situation that has developed in Moldova after the April 5 parliamentary elections
