You put me in a very difficult situation, Romanian Ambassador

A good Romanian speaks his language well and loves it, knows his culture and is aware that he has more obligations than rights, Romanian Ambassador to Moldova Marius Lazurca said in an interview for Info-Prim Neo, [{which was published on November 29, 2011,}]. He stated this when he was asked to pronounce on the quality of the Romanian spirit in Romania, in the areas inhabited by the Romanians all over the world and, in particular, in Moldova. Marius Lazurca did not want to comment on some of the Moldovans’ opinion that the best Moldovans are those who live on the left bank of the Nistru, while the best Romanians are those who live on the left bank of the Prut. ” You put me in a very difficult situation. I will give you an indirect answer as I cannot answer directly. I would say that a good Romanian speaks the language well and loves it because he understands how many meanings and what wisdom it can give to those who know it. Secondly, a good Romanian knows his culture as he understands that it is the safest method of making common cause with the historical destiny of the people. Thirdly, a good Romanian feels responsible and is aware that he has more obligations than rights. Finally, a good Romanian sees that he lives alongside not-Romanians and understands that he has the luck of sharing the essential things that unite us, beyond the details that separate us,” said the ambassador. Asked if he considers himself a typical Romanian, being the father of six children, knowing five languages and having studies in a number of areas, Marius Lazurca said: “There are no typical persons, Romanians or non-Romanians. There are only exceptional persons on the basis of whom the statisticians draw up their tables, extracting typical elements from the unrepeatable configuration of every personality.” The diplomat said that all their children live with them in Chisinau, while the eldest of them attend the High School “Prometeu” in Moldova’s capital city. He also said that while working in Moldova, his most positive expectations about the Moldovans had been met.
