Moldovan Foreign Minister Nikolay Popescu claims, that his country would under no circumstances did not come into the Eurasian Economic Union (YeAES).
He stated this on the radio station Europa Libera, the correspondent "PolitNavigatora".
"Under no circumstances should the Eurasian Union is not a foreign policy objective of the Republic of Moldova. Good relations with the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus is an important task for foreign policy, but the Republic of Moldova does not want to integrate with these states or with some post-Soviet organizations, including the Eurasian Economic Union. The sole purpose of the integration of the Republic of Moldova remains the European Union ', - cut Popescu.
Recall, President of Moldova Igor Dodon has made for his country observer status at the EAEC and now wants to use it, to get discounts on Russian gas.
Director of the Institute of Diplomatic, Political Studies and safety issues, former Deputy Foreign Minister Valery Ostalep called irresponsible statements Popescu.
"This man does not live in Moldova. Living here is not going to. He was not elected, and it does not represent any party, which would have had a majority in parliament. He constantly carries a completely irresponsible snowstorm - but in what capacity? Who empowered him to make such statements on behalf of the whole country?», - quotes the edition Ostalep Noi.
Political expert Sergei Cheban said, that the statements Popescu is nothing new - consumer attitude to Russia demonstrated, and past the Moldovan authorities.
"Another surprise: before the Kremlin reacted sharply enough on the post-Soviet countries such maneuvers, acting on the principle of "whoever is not with us, against us ". Now the Kremlin is on the statements and actions of the new Moldovan government responds with surprising calm for yourself. All of this leads to some reflections: that Moscow has received or expects to receive from the three-way deal with the US and the European Union on the change of power in Moldova, Buddhist demonstrates patience and a blind eye to the duty of Chisinau's pro-Western rhetoric?», - he writes Cheban on the RTA website.
It offers several answers to this question. In particular: the use of the Prime Minister Maia Sandu, which will arrive in Moscow soon for Popescu as an intermediary in the informal negotiations with Kiev. However, a more likely cause of the expert calls the prospect of settling the Transnistrian conflict.
"Most likely, Now in Chisinau will start non-public "rollback" to calmer rhetoric against the Russian military presence on the Dniester. Notable signal transformation has already happened - it is the participation of Moldovan military in celebration of entering the peacekeeping forces in the security zone of the Transnistrian conflict, which could not be present at the Democratic Party government,.
Most likely, namely the reduction of tension around Transnistria could get to Moscow, one of the major acquisitions in the June anti-oligarch "revolution".
It is not excluded, that it will have far-reaching consequences for the resolution of long-standing Transnistria conflict - and in this case, the answer to the question about the true purpose of Moscow in the Republic of Moldova is still open and very interesting ", - wrote Cheban.
