Novosti Pridnestrovya reported earlier, that delegation from the Republic of Abkhazia headed by the Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Gabniya had made an official visit to the republic on its 25 anniversary on September 2.
According to the Deputy Prime Minister, before visiting Tiraspol, he didn't really know all the circumstances of creation of Pridnestrovie's state, including the reasons of Moldova-Pridnestrovie opposition. «The country made me feel good and even surprised me. I understood that their conflict is not ethnic, as ours. I couldn't understand the reason of this conflict when 33% of Pridnestrovie's population are represented by Ukrainians and the same amount is represented by Moldovans and Russians," the Sputnik-Abkhaziya News Agency quotes the statesman.
Following the results of a trip, Vitaly Gabniya concluded that the cornerstone of the Moldova-Pridnestrovie conflict were both differences in civilizational choice of the states, and in basic approaches to the national policy.
«The breakup happened because, in difficult 90s, the sides had chosen their own vector. When Moldova left choosing the western vector under command of Brussels and Washington, Pridnestrovians told that they wanted to stay in common civilization space with the Soviet Union and Russia as a successor state," the Deputy Prime Minister told.
According to Vitaly Gabniya, when the authorities of RM pursue the policy aiming to wipe out the Moldavian identity, the Moldavian ethnos can survive only in Pridnestrovie.
«Finally, I understood that Moldavians as an ethnos can survive only within Pridnestrovie, because Moldova isn't simply narrowing positions with Romania, but also the written language is transcribed into Romanian and the country is treated as a part of Romania," the politician said.
Speaking about his impressions of the visit to Pridnestrvoie, Vitaly Gabniya highly appreciated the level of Pridnestrovie's economy and also noted that youth rejected 'criminal romanticism'.
«In the conditions of difficult legal relations with Moldova and already with Ukraine, they (Pridnestrovians — editor's note) managed to build a very powerful economy with about 45% of industrial capacity of former Moldavia. All factories of light industry and heavy ones are functioning. Magnificent printed production, the agriculture is well developed. The Executive Branch works like a clockwork. There is no criminal component in ideology. Children aspire to become farmers because the one who has a piece of land is a rich person, and he will do well. It is a sound society as such," the Deputy Prime Minister noted.
The politician especially marked the scale of the military parade on the Republic Day. «Parade surprised us very much. It was so powerful that it took about an hour for only military vehicles to pass by, not counting the parade columns," Vitaly Gabniya said.
In conclusion, the Deputy Prime Minister told that Abkhazian leadership plans to open Merchant House of Pridnestrovie in the republic. «The country needs goods at low producers' prices, offer by Pridnestrovie," the politician noted.
