but most of the warnings are not much different from down. others have to select kidneys to support the families but i need good morning now because of the money my health is going 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 to come another former soviet republic to experience the color revolution. what will be the outcome of the contracted crisis in the country what future course will it choose for itself many inside and outside moldova eager to know the answer to those questions. i.

think for the seventh two thousand and nine central question now the capital of moldova several young people made their way to the roof top of the presidential residence took down the national flag and in its place raise the european union's flag protest has announced that the 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 i don't want to know which of us will in two thousand and seven the ones behind these barbaric we so called demonstrations just those interests of those who are and who benefit from them are only too obvious his lawyer. will certainly find out who is planned and masterminded these disturbances spiritual that obama didn't. how much for the moldovan like place. under

a student of the kitchen now polytechnic was among those who stormed the government buildings he had joined a rally without any idea of how it might work out 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 fine. just 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 hand they certainly couldn't have coped 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 slavonic university has only russian language institution of higher learning was the source of greatest concern

it was feared the crowds might go on the rampage there by midday a large mob of nationalists but gathered in front of the university students were determined to defend the university and by any means possible thanks. to the start worrying of the learning that a crowd was having here 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. because believe it. or not today april 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 around him and emerged victorious this is top of the bush if that

evening which of somebody had result to us gangsters in the crowd why then first sake they had come there still below and what they knew about the outcome of the election. historically i'm certain that ninety nine percent could not have answered those questions enough and do the future would. be better off but our discussion today will focus on what caused the events of april seventh two thousand and nine and their aftermath of joining our guest as we tally a public chant the leader of the national liberal party over a leader of the ultra right program anian party batali a public cenk uygur is rarely invited to speak of the radio the national liberal party's manifesto echoes the motto of the people who rampaged from condiment moldova and remain here are a single country we can all appreciate it as if 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 romania and this should be done without delaying the village we do not hesitate to always what's on the minds of very 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 stones on the high bank of the nice to river it's romany population is nearly twenty thousand. not too much a robbery is a room in a barrel he needs to be in the know about the problems facing all run many families

moldovan volunteers way here are the trends mr once ruled that sites are. the part of the moldavian republic on the left bank of it's nice to declare 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 denise to became part of moldavia when it was a soviet republic. now does not recognize a sofa claim tronson east a republic after moldavia achieved independence the tense 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 massive hostilities had already broken out the vision wrist fighting took place in the trans needs to town we've been derek an

enclave on the right bank of the denise to river. if it 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 which i'm going to just like you for which is enough most of cause. and his mother often come to the bridge if there's an easter it was on this patch that the bloodiest clashes between moldova and troops and trends in east of volunteers took place which is slabs served in the russian fourteenth army deployed in france and easter his father served in a cossacks and then derek the russian soldiers had to maintain neutrality even though moldova and troops constantly fired on that positions it was then which a slap decided to join his father's unit where 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 so

he took me on because he knew that i would at least be close at hand. moldova's leaders insisted they were not at 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. more than a month. in one of the most extreme environments on the planet this is and charge it up and people have to be aware that they are far away from civilization sean thomas discovers fox makes sense articles so special and attractive for many

wildlife in antarctica is a boat and from the. expedition to the bottom of your artistry. the. mind in motion would be so much brighter if you knew about songs from phones to impressions. from stunts on t.v. don't come.

when you just click over is a kitchen are sober. moldova's principal treasure is tucked away on the ground. some forty million liters of wine was kept to maturity 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 meat a book white wines are normally aged for eighteen months or two years some are kept for only six months red wines are kept here for two three or four years the labyrinth is a hundred and twenty kilometers long on 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 were not prone to modesty when talking about the miles upon miles

of tunnels hiding thousands of barrels of red and white wine they said no 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 it 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 produce at the turn of the century. and all those in why no longer conforms to strict russian senator standards moreover the russian market was drowned in for jews in the european one because. some of the range ones are the world's best 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 some types this is the post-surgery one the stitch and the scar could get you but you don't care at this hospital in the village of men j.-a has catered to several patients like liguori 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 were spot potential donors in moldova and take them to turkey for back alley surgery we had thirteen people in our village who

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 them employment 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 but this. i heard that one kidney is worth ninety five thousand dollars around a 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 a. 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 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 have earned 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 moldova's romany have been increasingly involved in the country's political life ones are torture rarely even run for president but he says it was more a showy 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 maybe allegedly but we never tried to get involved then . when you could be needed. this is what the political campaigning of the newly founded romany party looks like folk songs and dances in front of 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 romany flash from. 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 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 votes. the people of moldova want to hear nothing of any merger with anybody in severance he is increasingly becoming an integral part of the normal life of moldova in society and the maldives and state for the chick a businessman yuri opposed to 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 you're opposed to lucky runs a small enterprise. he 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 causing his forest into. i find it hard to draw

a dividing line between been darian although. all between the left bank and the right bank i still believe this is one country and i regret what has been going on of those banks with. the narrow denice 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 i have no diplomatic relations there are no direct telephone communications between. mr has its own currency economy and political system. no there just look at him coming here. a treats me as one of his own. egos sneer north has been a howl know 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 people know how to work this land display 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 unrecognised the public has dropped from seven hundred thousand to four hundred thousand since the armed conflict in france nice 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 service union i think shut down we're been there is over there. beyond been 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 denise to the pockmarked walls of the administration building

but traces of pullets locals take people on guided tours to show the positions of moldova and sharpshooters. the snipers killed all civilians because they couldn't hit 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 me. nobody at the russian fourteenth army stations in france nice to stop the bloodshed the army's commander general here. but 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 during not all conflict. but when you as a bell nobody expected any hostilities to kick off air nobody believes

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 to nice to volunteer a chance life not to cause reflects on what caused the brief war on his way to his mother's house will be. russian 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. in the autumn of one thousand nine hundred two virtuous love not a cause father went missing that was when heavy fighting had already come to an end . clearly my husband was abducted when he and another man went to inspect the territory. there was a law in fighting at the time. i was not through it it was clear that it will soon

stop all together. they abducted both of them i tried 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 the new stuff 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 thorough but 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 thugs today he takes his first steps into show business he writes songs up and coming moldavian singers after quitting university essentially every year of their he realized that his country is his home yep or the other with this theory of the patrons of my country my friends and relatives who live here this is my land there is no point to linger in europe what can we give europe of course from weinberg 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 a good option a little bit with ballister. andre was among those who retire and 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 with. 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 most open 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.
