In simple terms, the difference between the stands of Yerevan and Chisinau on the Customs Union- Eurasian Economic Union is that Armenia warred against Azerbaijan that enjoys Turkey's support, Bogdan TSIRDYA, Moldavian parliamentarian, political expert told ArmInfo in an online interview.
"I think there is no need to speak about Armenia's attitude towards Turkey. Russia helped and keeps helping Armenians. Armenia will lose Nagorny Karabakh and more without the Kremlin's support," the parliamentarian said.
In Moldova the incumbent authorities consider Russia as an aggressor that helped the Transnistria and, consequently, separatism. As Moldova adopted laws on the state language, the Russian language lost its status of the state language.
Tsirdya said the incumbent pro-European leadership of Moldova has a negative attitude towards Russian peacekeepers and Russia. The operative group of Russian troops and peacemakers impede Moldova's accession to NATO. The Moldavian right-wing politicians and their foreign curators are outraged at that factor.
"Furthermore, if Transnistria enters the Moldavian legal field, the pro-Russian parties will be winning and the country's foreign policy will change. Who needs it? Europe, U.S., the right-wing parties? Of course, no. That is why, there is no progress in the settlement process," the parliamentarian said. The online interview was organized for the Armenian media as part of the Region Research Center's project "Relevant Dialogues on New Integration Agenda of Armenia."
