Transdnistrian MFA: international community hardly interested in local wars in Black Sea region

PanARMENIAN.Net - The fact that some forces are aspired to settle the so-called frozen conflicts without engagement of all conflicting sides arouses concern. We understand that the former mother countries are trying to impose their view of the self-determined states on the international community," Transdnestrian First Deputy Foreign Minister Vladimir Yastrebchak said when commenting on GUAM's intention to introduce the draft resolution on frozen conflicts into the UN General Assembly.



"Their purpose is to enlist UN's support up to use of sanctions and getting a mandate for military operations. However, it will by no means promote a just settlement. The will of the people of Transdnistria, South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Nagorno Karabakh expressed via national referenda cannot be ignored. Neither the EU nor Russia or GUAM states wish escalation of the conflicts. We do not believe that the international community is interested in local wars in Black Sea region," he said.



"At the same time, we rate the tendency of presenting the CIS conflicts within a single package as positive. It will be easier for countries to defend our position conjointly. Transdnistria, Abkhazia and South Ossetia have already united in the Commonwealth for Democracy and Human Rights. The first success came in 2006, when we issued a joint statement to the UN.



By our request, Russia's representative brought our stance to the notion of all UN member states. GUAM didn't dare to openly discuss the frozen conflicts and postponed consideration of their draft resolution to the 62nd session of the UN General Assembly. We are hopeful that our voice will be heard and we will be capable to prevent a biased discussion of the problem," reads Yastrebchak's statement posted at the Transdnistrian MFA.
