Read it in Russian

Moldovan president believes that there is no political component in events, which happens between Russia and Republic Moldova in sphere of supplying energy carriers; Vladimir Voronin stated at a news conference in Chisinau on July 11, a REGNUM correspondent informs. “Russia has changed its course in the sphere of gas export concerning all countries without exception: Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, and Armenia. It is the highest degree of incompetence to see here something exclusively anti-Moldovan,” Mr. Voronin admitted.

The Moldovan president stated that such logic is very unusual, especially for ordinary people in CIS countries; “however, we are ready to get used to the logic.” “Really, if we have proclaimed ourselves to be an independent state, let us be independent according to honest rating,” Mr. Voronin said.

At the same time, the situation is a little different in wine embargo situation. “But exclusion confirms the rule here too,” Mr. Voronin pointed out. “Though the Republic of Moldova has not received any official document concerning law quality of our production from the Russian side, in reality, it is very difficult to find political component in this case too. Look, the Russian market is practically closed today for wine export from the whole world. Wine embargo has been put de facto on France, Chile, and Argentina.”

Russia just entered the stage of its foreign policy’s reforming and renewing, the Moldovan president concluded.
