possible at the end of the twentieth century moldova could have yet become another former soviet republic to experience a color revolution. what will be the outcome of the patrik said 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 raised 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 by barrick we so-called demonstrations just whose interests they serve snowsuit and who benefit from them irony too obvious to the we're sure we will certainly find out who is planned and masterminded these disturbances to our children i don't believe india. if he thought much of the moldovan black place. andre a student at the kitchen now polytechnic was among those who stormed government buildings he had joined a rally without any idea of how it might work out in the end at the time the young man was sure the police deliberately allowed protesters to seize the parliament building and set it on fine. as you can see now police are well

equipped. but at the time they were ill prepared to deal with such things. there 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 throughout kitchener 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 that by midday a large mob of nationalists had gathered in front of the university students were determined to defend the university and by any means possible thanks. bob 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 here. the fact is that high school children as well as university students come here to study. hall not say a pull the seventh many believe there's 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 roland and emerged victorious this is top of the bush if that evening which of somebody had result to us gangsters in the crowd why and for her sake they had come there so below and what they knew about the outcome of the election. just so i knew i'm certain that ninety nine percent could not of answer those questions enough to give each would. definitely the

office our discussion today will focus on what caused the events of a perilous seventh two thousand and nine and their aftermath jumar guest as we tell the public and leader of the national liberal party the leader of the old for right program anian party italian government chunka is rarely invited to speak over the radio the national liberal party's manifesto echoes the motto of the people who run page from parliament moldova and remain near or a single country that she could visit an alternate 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 i feel that we do not hesitate to avoid what's on the minds of the area many people in our society with. the town of several k. two hundred kilometers from kish 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. ah to maturity is a room in a barrel a nice to be in the know about the problems facing all runny families help them deal with them and add their grievances to the authorities even the good of a. although most people in sorrow keep change their old casa plush german and japanese makes auto prefers to drive his old soviet made. the rocky is the maca of all romany of the former soviet union and the schools of

this fact affects their culture civilization and traditions. the cradle of the room many people use here in the. room and traditions on it and so rocking the baron enjoys public respect romany seek advice from him on any matter of importance whether they intend to build a house will give a name to a baby hello. hello. he's a big. guy that appearance like the baron. yes that is as they didn't mr is in the shape of a horseshoe you know saroj here they were when we settled on this lassoed and sacred land more than five hundred years ago. the large ben dairy forest is two hundred kilometers downstream the denise to river

. yury outpost a lucky a business woman is the most important person here breeds hogs the ex president of moldova and big time business women 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 minister is in another. this road it was a dividing line between the two warring policies. of the moldovan volunteers where here are the friends list a once ruled that saw it as. the cause of the most avian republic on the left bank of its nice to declared its independence even before the breakup of the soviet union was officially recognized the fact of the matter is that what is now called trans to nice to became part of

moldavia when it was a soviet republic because you now did not recognize a self proclaimed trans the nice to republic after moldavia achieved independence the tens political standoff degenerated into an armed conflict the first shots were fired in the spring of one nine hundred ninety two. by the summer of ninety ninety two must. if hostilities said already broken out the vicious fighting took place in the translates to town of ben derek an enclave on the right bank of the denise to reveal. if the gold was in the was 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 books and police again which is love mulch

a call from his mother often come to the bridge and there's an easter it was on this patch that the bloodiest clashes between moldova in troops and trends in east of volunteers took place which is life served in the russian fourteenth army deployed entranced in eastern his father served in the cossacks and ben derek the russian soldiers had to maintain neutrality even though most of them troops constantly front on their positions it was then which a slap aside to join his father's unit i told him i was going to take part in your i said if you don't allow me to join your unit i will sign up for another so he took me on because he knew that i would at least be close at hand. 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. wealthy british style. market finance. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report. and.

thanks. i mean just click over is occasional sober. moldova's principal treasure is tucked away on the ground. with some forty million liters of wine was kept to mature here demand generates supply now you can find french and gary in ermey and moldovan barrels here each contains up to one tonne

a wine. one likes barrels made of book white wines are normally aged for eighteen months or two years some are kept from was six months red wines are kept here for two three or four years the labyrinth is a hundred and twenty kilometers long this one or a looks like a town complete with streets and avenues it's the only place i would scan in the world people here are not prone to modesty when talking about the miles upon miles of tunnels hiding thousands of barrels of red and white wine they said well 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 when 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. moldova's biggest customer russia stopped importing its projects at the turn of the century. even raw no longer conforms to strict russian senator standards moreover the russian market was drowned in for juice from european one because. some of the range ones are the world's best but moldovan warrants are not much different from down always situated at the same latitude as france in this he's only a short distance away so russia certainly lost out in this case. as your ways take sometimes this is the post-surgery one the stitch and the

scar could get you but the doctor at this hospital in the village of men has catered to several patients likely gauri people in the surrounding villages might report about a hundred cases of this kind that they share a common fate some have sold one of their kidneys for money others would you tend to selling them for criminal gangs with scott potential donors in moldova and take them to the back alley surgery where we had thirteen people in our village in a went through this. and one of them has already died of kidney failure. selling their kidneys for money in order to be able to support their families was the only option open to most of the clients and moldova's regions is hard to come by the villagers were paid from one thousand five hundred to three thousand dollars for the operation just this. i heard that one kidney is worth ninety five thousand

dollars around one hundred thousand they just cheated this. 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. rigorous spend the five hundred dollars he was paid for his kidney in turkey a long time ago the money was just about enough a minor house repairs and clothes for his family despite protests by his doctor to go or 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 earns in foreign countries accounts for approximately one fourth of the republic's g.d.p. up to 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 and. the romany baron has his hands full now holdovers 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 the election. we were many understood the meaning of politics. when you much about it you merely look at what we never tried to get involved in it when you could when you did. this is what the political campaigning of the newly founded roni party looks like folk songs and dances in front of government headquarters of the best publicity stunt for the new political association however

the jacket sees a session of the moldovan parliament nearby paid no attention to the romany fashion . the country has been in a state of political crisis for a long time communist 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 have so far failed to agree on a future course for the country because none of the parliamentary parties has the necessary majority of folks. there or the people of moldova want to hear nothing of any merger with anybody or more in sovereignty is increasingly becoming an integral part of the normal life of moldova in society and the maldives and stayed with the chicken businessman yuri acosta lockie 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 yury opposed to lucky runs a small enterprise. is a rare example of a successful businessman in moldova. breeds hogs creates jobs and protects the natural environment things would be even better for him were it not for a border crossing his forest into. i find it hard to draw a dividing line between in derry and rolled over or between the left bank and the right bank i still believe this is one country and i regret what has been going on in those banks with. the narrow denise to reverse divides moldova from the unrecognized republic the political and economic gap between the two countries is much wider kisha now until last fall 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 coming here. for. a treat me as one of his own. egos near north has been at the helm of the unrecognized republic for more than twenty years he is unwilling to talk about the nine hundred ninety two war and prefers to demonstrate the republic's economic progress. exist because there will always be an adequate supply of the mission to do because they don't know how to work this land is they can support themselves without outside help 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 and trans needs to twenty years ago some have moved to moldova others to ukraine 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. is beyond and 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 denise to the pockmarked walls of the administration building but traces of bullets locals take people on guided tours to show the positions of moldova sharpshooters. the snipers killed all civilians because they couldn't help but 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. really being and nobody at the russian fourteenth army stations and friends nice to

stop the bloodshed the army's commander general yet. declared ben derry a demilitarized zone today the russian peacekeeping force is about the only count toward peace that more than two thousand people on both sides lost their lives trying not to conflict. with just about nobody expected any hostilities to kick off air nobody believed a war was possible at the end of the twentieth century but if you're. on the other side of the border a former trans needs to volunteer which is laughable to call reflects on what caused that brief war on his way to his mother's house with the british armed people entering your home triggers your self defense reflex people were defending their homes. but there is no hostility now. but we need many moldovans over a glass of wine they are normal people like anyone else. in the autumn of one nine

hundred ninety two virtuous love not a cause father went missing that was when heavy fighting had already come to an end . he could only my husband was abducted when he and another man went to inspect the territory. or that there was a law in fighting at the time. i was not there it was clear that it was since topple together. i'm very relieved ducted both of them i try to find my husband for a year and three months. each summer war veterans and bullets of the fallen come to cemeteries on both sides of that nice turret to light candles. scores of people have gathered in central question now for the anniversary of the

raid on the parliament building they tell it countless. it is noteworthy though that only a few of those who had been involved in those events turned up. in april two thousand and seven dmitri was poised to defend his university from a crowd of folks today he takes his first steps into show business he writes songs up and coming moldavian singers after quitting university he spent a year in europe then he realized that his country is his home therefore the accordance with this sort of i am a patriot 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 those terrible incidents died down a long time ago but the feeling of resentment is still with me today i still can't

. figure out what's going on that else aside he has become insensitive to politics and they get upset if there's a place with what is. under a was among those who retired in the parliament building two years ago today he is of a much more peaceful disposition since then he has graduated 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 chim. 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 with. a group of young people gathering in the center of the moldovan capital call their act the hyde park project a reference to the british tradition of open air 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 queued for a chance to speak up for their enthusiasm rapidly petered out nowadays passes by a more likely to ignore the speaker's.
