The Gagauzia Popular Assembly has expressed “deep concern about the aggravation of domestic political situation in Moldova after the April 5 parliamentary elections”.

The autonomous region’s legislative forum wrote in its statement that “the extremist actions by young people in Chisinau, provoked by certain political forces and led to destroying of the Parliament Building and presidential office, have stirred up the entire nation, and are threatening to destabilize the socio-political situation in the country”.

“The events developing in Chisinau are showing clearly that not solely democracy institutions are in jeopardy but the statehood of the Republic of Moldova as a whole”, the Popular Assembly wrote.

“In 1994, the Moldovan and Gagauz people, who have lived side by side on this land for centuries, achieved a compromise solution for the ‘Gagauzia question’, preserved and consolidated the statehood of Moldova, and they do not wish a repetition of the 1990s events”, wrote the deputies.

The Popular Assembly called upon all Moldovan political forces to refrain from extreme actions, ethnic strife or encroachment on the country's constitutional system.
