Transdnestr analyst: West encourages ethnic genocide

Read it in Russian

Senior expert of the Transdnestr branch of Russia’s National Strategy Council, political analyst Vladimir Bukarsky comments on statements of Kosovo political analyst Ermelinda Kanusha made at a news conference at the International Press Center in Tiraspol on September 16 that “the international community has certain rules of the game; and if Transdnestr wants to be recognized, it should play under the rules.”

Particularly, Bukarsky notes: “Missis Kanushi seems to be considering strict geopolitical orientation towards the USA, the European Union and other countries of the Euro-Atlantic bloc as ‘rules of the game of the international community.’ She gives it to understand clearly that Transdnestr’s geopolitical orientation towards Russia is inadmissible, if Transdnestr wants to be recognized by ‘leading world actors.’ It is worth to remind Transdnestr President Igor Smirnov’s that he was offered recognition in exchange for giving up orientation towards Russia. As for citing the mono-ethnic composure of Kosovo, Mrs. Kanushi is certainly cunning here. The mono-ethnic composure of Kosovo was achieved as early as under the Turkish rule, the Hitler genocide and ethnic cleansing of Serbs after the NATO occupation of the territory. Thus, the West gives it to understand that it encourages ethnic genocide, let it only decrease Russia’s geopolitical influence.”
