Shortly after the expulsion, in contradictory conditions, of the seven Turkish citizens, IPN News Agency issued former high-ranking officials of the Republic of Moldova with a set of questions the answers to which could contribute to the more extensive elucidation of this case. Ex-President Vladimir Voronin, who held office in 2001-2009, was the first to wash his hands of the interview.

Pursuing the same goal of better clarifying things in an unordinary case for the Moldovan state and Moldovan society, IPN presents the submitted questions, suggesting that the people formulate the own answers to them, with the specification that the formula “to wash one’s hands” is attributed especially to the former Romanian ruler of Judea in a case that marked mankind.
