Today the Republic of South Ossetia commemorates the fourth anniversary of the invasion of Georgian troops. On that day mourning ceremonies are taking place across the country, devoted to the tragic events of August, 2008.
Russia is taking Pridnestrovie and Pridnestrovians as compatriots – and this is the most important fact. Russian peacekeeping mission is carrying out an important geopolitical function, it is implementing function of guaranteeing peace and security on this land, but also Russia is defending its compatriots who passed through number of very serious challenges.
In Gagauzia very much the same processes took place in early 1990s as in Pridnestrovie: we had independent republic which existed for 5 years but than we agreed, due to objective and subjective reasons, to become autonomy in the Republic of Moldova.
Citizens of the Republic of Moldova treat the peacekeeping operation of the Russian Federation on the Dniester rather respectfully. It is the peacekeeping participation of Russia that stopped fratricidal war.
On July 31 third issue of TV Project “Public Diplomacy” went on air on the First Republican TV Channel. Program is devoted to the 20th anniversary of the peacekeeping operation of the Russian Federation in Pridnestrovie.
Briefing in extended format for Russian and Pridnestrovian Mass Media with participation of the President of the PMR and members of Government of the PMR took place today in Tiraspol.
