coming up today on the big picture. looks. at. a country where some take pride in. the ranks once of the world's best but most all the warnings are not much different from the a. kidney to support the family.

but i needed more now because of the money my health is gone in the first year of independence the country went through a civil war. nobody believed a war was possible at the end of the twentieth century moldova could have yet become another former soviet republic to experience the color revolution. what will be the outcome of the contract and crisis in the country what future course will it choose for itself many inside and outside moldova are eager to know the answer to those questions. i. am for the seventh two thousand and nine central question now the capital of moldova several young people made their way to the rooftop of the presidential

residence took down the national flag and in its place raise the european union's flag protests was announced as a revolution had taken place in moldova and the president and fled the country. president vladimir voronin was addressing the nation from his second floor office of the presidential residence. the model was a visual hallucinations and the ones behind these barbaric weak so-called demonstrations whose interests they serve. and who benefit from them are only too obvious to the we're sure it was certainly find out who is planned and masterminded these disturbances to our children openminded in cheap as a thief how much for the moldovan flak placed. under a student at the kitchen our polytechnic was among those who stormed government buildings he had joined a rally without any idea of how it might work. in the end of the time the young man

was sure the police deliberately allowed protesters to seize the parliament building and set it on fire. as you can see now police are well equipped. but at the time they were ill prepared to deal with such things. they were only twenty or thirty policemen on hounds they certainly couldn't have coached but i'm sure there was a special purpose unit nearby. if they had used force everybody would have gone home right away. meanwhile preparations for widespread unrest were underway around commissioner a slavonic university only russian language institution of higher learning was the source of greatest concern it was feared the crowds might go on the rampage there and midday a large amount of nationalists had gathered in front of the university students

were determined to defend the university and by any means possible thanks for the opposite. we did start worrying after learning that a crowd was heading in about getting the hoses up as we intended to use them as a last resort they came again the fact is that high school children as well as university students come here to study. and not say a pull the seventh many believe that another so-called color revolution was unfolding in downtown kitchener several former soviet republics had already shared the same fate everybody expected pro western politicians to come to power on the back of protests against communist president vladimir voronin but the following morning everything fell into place and emerged victorious this is sort of. if that hazing vision with somebody had resulted youngsters in the crowd

why. and firs sake they had come there. and what they knew about the outcome of the election. just joining i'm certain that ninety nine percent could not have answered those questions if the future would. be better off but our discussion today will focus on what caused the events of april a seventh two thousand and nine and their aftermath our guest as we tally a public champ a leader of the national liberal party over the leader of the ultra right program mainly in party italian public cenk oh it's really invited to speak over the radio national liberal party's manifesto echoes the motto of the people who run page from parliament moldova and remain here are a single country that she could visit us and then said we want to join nato and the european union and that's the position of the national liberal party but that's can only be achieved through

a union with remain handy and this should be done without delay as we do not hesitate to what ways what's on the minds of a very many people in our society like. the town of several k. two hundred kilometers from kiss you know it is the informal capital of the romany people in moldova stands on the high bank of the nice to river it's romany population is nearly twenty thousand. baht to maturity is a room in a barrel any still be in the know about the problems facing all runny families help them deal with them on air their grievances to the authorities they did no good to her. although most people in sort of alky change their old casa plush german and

japanese makes auto prefers to drive his old soviet made jiggly car. the rocky is the maca of all romany of the former soviet union that is what this fact affects their culture civilization and traditions. the cradle of the room many people use here. were many traditions on it and so rocking the baron enjoys public respect many seek advice from him on any matter of importance whether they intend to build a house or give a name to a baby. l.o.l. hello. it's a big movement by that appearance like the environment. aker at. yes that is as they did mr is in the shape of a horse shoe us or on here they were when we settled on this blasted and sacred

land more than five hundred years ago it may. be many of. the large been very forest is two hundred kilometers downstream the denise to river . post a lucky a business woman is the most important person here breeds hawks the ex president of moldova and big time businessmen have been known to join him on hunting expeditions in the forest but nobody has offered help in resolving his main problem his hogs are in one country but his office in the forest area ministers is another. of. this road here was a dividing line between the two warring opposes. the moldovan volunteers way here for the trans mr once ruled that solitude is.

the part of the moldavian republic on the left bank of the it's nice to declared its independence even the fool the breakup of the soviet union was officially recognized the fact of the matter is the what is now called trans needs to became part of moldavia when it was a soviet republic because you now did not recognize a self proclaimed transit needs to republic after moldavia achieved independence the tense political standoff degenerated into an on conflict the first shots were fired in the spring of one nine hundred ninety two. going to. by the summer of ninety ninety two must. hostility said already broken out the vision wrist fighting took place in the translates to town has been daring an enclave on the right bank of the nice to river. in that small forest over there they set fire

to the military hardware. and by that monument in the distance i remember about there were two bus loads of dead bodies from local police from a queue which is love meltzer called and his mother often come to the bridge there's an easter it was on this patch that the bloodiest clashes between moldova troops and trends in east of volunteers took place which a slav served in the russian fourteenth army deployed in transit in eastern his father served in the cossacks and derry the russian soldiers had to maintain neutrality even though moldova and troops constantly front on their positions it was then the to slap decided to join his father's unit i told him i was going to take part in you i said if you don't allow me to join your unit i will sign up for another a while so he took me on because he knew that i would have leased because the town's. moldova's leaders insisted they were not a war with the self-proclaimed republic rather they were trying to establish law

and order in reality what happened in the summer of one thousand nine hundred two was a full blown military standoff on the verge of becoming the bloodiest conflict in the territory of the former soviet union everybody waited to see which side the russian troops would take. a telemarketer broadcasting live from washington d.c. coming up today on the big picture. x.x. . culture is the same i am definitely a huge musician and my mom was the arab awakening to me for jewish revolutions in

the arab middle east there can be no doubt something in court is a. leg . when you just click over is occasional subha. moldova's principal treasure is tucked away on the ground. some forty million liters of wine was kept a mature here demand generates supply now you can find french and gary in rimini in and moldovan barrels here each contains up to one ton

a wine. one likes barrels made of oak white wines are normally aged for eighteen months or two years some are kept from the six months red wines are kept here for two three or four years the labyrinth is one hundred twenty kilometers long this one or a looks like a tonic complete with streets and avenues it's the only place of its kind in the world people here are not prone to modesty i'm talking about the miles upon miles of tunnels hiding fountains of barrels of red and white wine this is more i would say that it's the eighth wonder of the world. there was a time when wine making was an important part of the moldavian economy and first came under attack and soviet leader mikhail gorbachev declared war on hard drinking then yards over the total area of thousands of factors were cut down after mulled over achieved independence the industry could not be restored to previous levels

either in terms of quantity or more importantly quality. although it was biggest customer russia stops importing its produce at the turn of the century. all those in why no longer conforms to strict russian senator standards moreover the russian market was drowned in produce new european one because. the. the orange ones are the world's best but moldovan warrants are not much different from damn well don't we situated at the same latitude as france in this he's only a short distance away so russia certainly lost out in this case. placing its goes your way take some types this is the post surgery won't the stitch

and the scar get we're going to the doctor at this hospital in the village of mn j.-a has case of several patients likely gauri people in the surrounding villages might report about a hundred cases of this kind they share a common fate some have sold one of their kidneys for money others were duped into selling them through a criminal gangs would stop potential donors in moldova and take them to turkey for back alley surgery we had thirteen people in our village run through this. and one of them has already died of kidney failure patients. selling their kidneys for money in order to be able to support their families was the only option open for most of the employment in moldova's regions is hard to come by the villagers will pay from one thousand five hundred to three thousand dollars for the operation but this. i heard that one kidney is worth ninety five thousand

dollars around one hundred thousand they just cheated it. i shouldn't have gone to turkey but i needed more now because of the money my health is gone there's nothing i can do i can't go back and change it all i can do is go on. gregory's spent the five hundred dollars he was paid for his kidney in turkey a long time ago the money was just about enough to mine a house repairs and clothes for his family despite protests while his doctor to go is again toying with the idea of going abroad to look for temporary employment he sees no other way to get money for his family according to various estimates the money moldovans of earned in foreign countries accounts for approximately one fourth of the republic's g.d.p. of the one million citizens of moldova permanently reside outside the country. my older daughter wanted to go to college and i had no money i had to get some money

for her education. eventually she did not go. down to the romany baron has his hands full now although it was romany have been increasingly involved in the country's political life once our torture are even run for president but he says it was more a show a political gesture than anything else nowadays the romany people take politics seriously they have founded a political party and they expect to get several seats in parliament after elections. we're only always understood the meaning of politics. when you much about it you merely allegedly heard but we never tried to get involved in it when you could when you did. this is what the political campaigning of the newly founded romany party looks like folk songs and dances in front of the government headquarters of the best publicity stunt for the new political

association however the deputies a session of the moldovan parliament nearby paid no attention to the running of the flash and. the country has been in a state of political crisis for a long time common is president vladimir voronin did retain power after the events of april the seventh two thousand and nine but his party lost subsequent elections deputies in the republic's parliament of so far failed to agree on a future course for the country because none of the parliamentary parties has the necessary majority hopes. the people of moldova want to hear nothing of any merger with anybody in sovereignty is increasingly becoming an integral part of the normal life of mold of in society and the mold of unstable for the chick the businessman yuri acosta lucky has been a member of parliament for some time in modern day moldova it is impossible to do

business of any significance without political assistance here of course the lucky ones a small enterprise. he is a rare example of a successful businessman in moldova during breeds hogs creates jobs and protects the natural environment things would be even better for him were it not for a border causing his forest into. i find it hard to draw a dividing line between dent area. between the left bank and the right bank i still do believe this is one country and i regret what has been going on in those banks. the narrow denice to revert divides moldova from the unrecognized republic but the political and economic gap between the two countries is much wider kitchen now interest full have no diplomatic relations there are no direct telephone

communications between them. to has its own currency economy and political system. no there he just look at him come here. a treats me as one of his own. he goes near north has been at the helm of the unrecognized republic for more than twenty years he is unwilling to talk about the ninety ninety two war and prefers to demonstrate the republic's economic progress. exist because there will always be an adequate supply of food to salute you because people know how to work this land is they can support themselves without outside help but the problem is where can we sell what we produce reasonable. despite all efforts the population of the unrecognized republic has dropped from seven hundred thousand to four hundred thousand since the armed conflict in france needs to

twenty years ago some have moved to moldova others to train still more to russia this is the result of widespread unemployment most of the leading industrial plants built in the soviet union have been shut down or been there is over there. beyond in the area that is where the fighting took place. reminders of those dreadful days are still evident in the enclave town on the right bank of the nice to the pockmarked walls of the administration building bed traces of bullets locals take people on going to tours to show the positions of moldova sharpshooters. the snipers killed off civilians because they couldn't help the troops. but it didn't matter if it was friend or foe the only thing they cared about was the body count. the more people they killed the higher their pay was. telling and nobody at the russian fourteenth army stationed in france nice that

could stop the bloodshed the army's commander general you. declared been very a demilitarized zone today the russian peacekeeping force is about the only town toll of peace that more than two thousand people on both sides lost their lives during not all conflict. but the thing as a bell nobody expected any hostilities to kick off air nobody believed a war was causal at the end of the twentieth century but if you're. on the other side of the border a former trans needs to volunteer but just left a natural cause reflect on what caused that brief will on his way to his mother's house with. armed people entering your home triggers your self-defense reflex people were defending their homes. but there is no hostility now. we need many moldovans over a glass of wine they are normal people like anyone else. and the also of nine

hundred ninety two vouchers last march a cause father went missing that was when heavy fighting had already come to an end . and we were going to leave my husband was abducted when he and another man went to inspect the territory. there was a law in fighting at the time. for us not to do it it was clear that it will soon stop altogether. i'm very relieved ducted both of them i tried to find my husband for a year and three months. beach some a war veterans and bullets of the fallen come to some a treatise on both sides of the new start to light candles. scores of people have gathered in central kitchen now for the anniversary of the

raid on a parliament building they tell it councils. it is noteworthy vo that only a few of those who would be involved in those events turned up. in april two thousand and seven dmitri was poised to defend his university from a crowd of thugs today he takes his first steps into show business he writes songs welcome coming moldavian singers after quitting university essentially every year of their he realized that his country is his home yet for the accordions this or the other patrons of my country my friends and relatives live here this is my land there is no point to linger in europe what can we give europe apart from weinberger with those turbulent events died down a long time ago but the feeling of resentment still with me today i still can't.

figure out what's going on that society has become insensitive to politics and they get upset if there's a risk with what is good. under a was among those who retired in the parliament building two years ago today he has a much more peaceful disposition since then his graduation from university and given up politics now he has other priorities. my friends and i have founded a small organization in our town it is called eco shame. we are in the business of making minor ecological projects you. know but they are only small projects because we are still in the initial stages. a group of young people gathering in the center of the most open capital call that rocked the hyde park project a reference to the british tradition of open at public debates anyone can add their

views on the political situation in the country speaking through a microphone the project was launched hot on the heels of the events of april two thousand and nine initially people queue for a chance to speak up but their enthusiasm rapidly petered out nowadays passes by a more likely to ignore the speaker's. culture is that so much to handle the huge decision about trying to hide from the market the arab awakening is often referred to as revolutions in the arab middle east there can be no doubt something in court is a guy that's nature on. the mission free credit taishan free transport charges free coloration.
