Transnistria does not wish to start talks from a blank page
Transnistria does not see any point in starting negotiations with Moldova from a clean page, and thus to bury all accords achieved under all previous Moldovan presidents - Snegur, Lucinschi, Voronin, Transnistrian minister of foreign affairs Vladimir Yastrebchak stated on the Echo of Moscow radio this past weekend.
He stressed, a change of government in Chisinau is the Republic of Moldova\'s domestic affair, therefore the Transnistrian settlement process should not begin from anew after each election "in that country".
In his words, the statements being heard these days from the new Moldovan authorities - that the peacekeeping operation format should be changed - "makes us think that Chisinau is planning to revise its commitments and existing accords".
Yastrebchak said the presence of Russian troops "is a prerogative of the bilateral Russian-Transnistrian relations... and the official Chisinau\'s constant references to the 1999 OSCE Istanbul Summit accords are inconsistent, because Moscow has already met its OSCE commitments when it annihilated and recycled its heavy weapons here. The Russian military presence has never been a threat to peace or stability. On the contrary, the Russian military presence is a stabilizing factor in the region".
Vladimir Yastrebchak said the chief objective of the Transnistrian government is to achieve international recognition of the Transnistrian Moldovan Republic, and "we have quite enough arguments - legal, political, economic ones - for Transnistria to be recognized as a subject of the international law".
