20 parties have registered in the current election campaign. Many people say it is a too big number for such a small country as Moldova. At the same time, much more parties could take part in the election campaign.

Foreign Ministry says Russia's comments are tendentious

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration of Moldova considers that the comments of the Russian Foreign Ministry's Information and Press Department about the awarding of the Ilascu group reflect a tendentious and erroneous view on the dramatic events that happened on the Nistru in 1992.

"According to this view, the actions taken then by the Moldovan constitutional authorities and ordinary people to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Moldova were negative in character and represented an expression of the "Moldovan nationalism". Those who subscribe to such a logic should give an appropriate appraisal of the secessionist forces that rose up against the constitutional authorities while objectively assessing the tragic events of 1992 that seriously marked the Moldovan society on both banks of the Nistru," reads the statement issued by the Ministry.

The Foreign Ministry says the relevant Moldovan-Russian agreements and decisions taken by important European organizations on the Ilascu group, including the decision of the European Court of Human Rights, should be used as reference documents in this respect.

The Government of Moldova repeatedly showed that it has political will to build confidence between the people living on the banks of the Nistru and solve the Transnistrian dispute by political methods, the Ministry says.

The statement also says that Moldova continues to count on the valuable contribution of all the players involved in the talks in the 5 + 2 format, including Russia. In the near future, the anti-constitutional Transnistrian regime will mark again the day of the breakaway republic of Transnistria. The Ministry calls on the Russian authorities not to take part in the activities set to take place in Moldova's eastern region on this occasion in order not to give the impression that they support the separatist regime and to prove that they abide by the internal law and the principles of goods relations between states.
