Moldova’s 16th Anniversary of Independence, as seen by … A series of interviews by Info-Prim Neo

On August 27, the Republic of Moldova will mark its 16th anniversary of independence. On this occasion, Info-Prim Neo News Agency launched a series of interviews that are meant to portray the present image of the country, as seen by the representatives of different social categories and groups. Our intention was and still is of good faith: to show to the world, and maybe first of all to Moldova, a real, complex and dynamic picture – as the life of this country at crossroads itself is. How we will manage to accomplish this task – it depends, to some extent, on Info-Prim Neo’s ability to see things, including in what concerns the choice of interviewees, who we would like to think would represent a large range of categories of people. But first and foremost, we believe it depends on the capacity of these representatives to understand their own country and people, as well as on their capacity to understand the need to express their point of view, among many others. Info-Prim Neo has sent many invitations in this regard… Today we bring to your attention the considerations of writer Andrei Vartic, first vice-president of the Democrat Forum of Romanians of Moldova. Also, Andrei Vartic was on of the leaders of the resistance movement during the putsch which took place in Moscow within August 19 – 21, 1991.
