The leader of the Party of Regions of Moldova Alexandr Kalinin made a public call to the President of Russia, asking him to favor the return home of the Moldovans who are in temporary detention centers in Russia.
In a press briefing at IPN, Alexandr Kalinin addressed the President of Russia, saying that during hundreds of years, the Moldovans and Russians supported each other so as to keep the statehood. Ruler Stephan the Great, when Constantinople fell, kept the East-European Orthodoxy. Not only once, he waged wars against the occupants from the Ottoman Empire so as to keep Crimea and influence in the Black Sea Basin. Great Ruler Dmitrie Cantemir, who was the closest associate of Peter the First, not only once defended the position of the Russian Federation. His son Antioh Cantemir played one of the major roles in the founding of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia.
The leader of the Party of Regions addressed Vladimir Putin in the name of the Moldovans citizens who are for good relations with the Russian Federation.
“Vladimir Vladimirovich, the pandemic has persisted for two years. Regrettably, the plague that affected all the countries leaves an imprint. Citizens of the Republic of Moldova are held in temporary detention centers in the Russian Federation and cannot be expelled from Russia. No one knows how long the pandemic will yet last, but some of our citizens have stayed there for over two years and in the period lost relatives, close persons and could not bid farewell to them. They cannot go to their graves now either. In the name of the Moldovan people, mothers, fathers, children, wives, we ask you to contribute to the return of the citizens of the Republic of Moldova who are in temporary detention centers,” he stated.
According to Alexandr Kalinin, these persons violated the Administrative Code, but didn’t commit crimes on Russia’s territory. “I call on all the citizens to obey the migration law of the Russian Federation. But the citizens should be offered the possibility to return home. This will be that decision that we, the citizens of Moldova, need. I thank you for the decision that you are to take,” Alexandr Kalinin said, addressing the President of the Russian Federation.
