Instigators are trained in the Transnistrian region to incite violence during the protests mounted in Chisinau. The issue was discussed in the talk show “Reply” on Prime TV channel, IPN reports.

Victor Alexeev, head of the Organization of the Social Democratic Party of Romania in Moldova, said that mercenaries for the conflict areas existing in the CIS are also trained in Transnistria. “In Transnistria, there are four camps training persons who are anytime ready to destabilize the situation during the protests staged in Chisinau. Mercenaries for the conflict areas are trained there too. Now those mercenaries fight in Donets and Donbas,” he stated.

Alexeev made it clear that the leaders of the people protesting in Chisinau made use of the services of instigators trained in Transnistria. “The protest mounted in front of the Parliament Building on January 20 involved such persons. They appeared 30 minutes before the crowd became violent. They had a special behavior and communicated in Russian between them. Most probably, the protest leaders have their contact phone numbers as well as he phone numbers of those camps,” he said.

Mihai Godea, chairman of the Democratic Action Party, also considers that the protesters on January 20 were provoked by specially trained persons. “What I saw on January 20, 2016 reminded me of April 7, 2009. I saw the same faces, the same gestures and the same tactics. But this time the police were prepared and didn’t allow provocations and prevented the instigators from fulfilling their plans,” he stated.

The deputy head of the Liberal Party Veaceslav Untila asked that the law enforcement bodies should take measures so that the instigators are punished harsher.
