Moldovan foreign minister wants Transdniester discussed at G8
Andrei Stratan said on June 28 that he hopes Western powers will address the issue of the breakaway Transdniester region at the upcoming summit of the Group of Eight (G8) leading industrialized countries in St. Petersburg, Interfax reported the same day. The issue is not on the summit's official agenda, but Stratan said that should not prevent if from being discussed. "Moldova's international partners are planning to raise it during the G8 forum," he told a news conference in Chisinau. "It is a bit easier to solve this problem than any other conflicts on former Soviet soil. Everybody should take advantage of it. A great deal has been done recently to find a solution to this problem more rapidly. It would be wrong to miss this chance. Everyone is tired and understands that the problem can and needs to be settled," Stratan said. BW // Copyright (c) 2005. RFE/RL, Inc.
