GAGAUZIA DOES NOT WISH ANY STRAIN IN RELATIONS WITH CHISINAU
Chisinau. Gagauzia Bashkan [Governor] Mikhail Formuzal presumes that the autonomous region’s Popular Assembly has come to have a legal majority that formed the regional parliament’s governing organs.
Formuzal stated at a news conference in Infotag today that if Chisinau puts no pressure on the Popular Assembly, all passions will gradually subside, and the deputies will focus on their job.
Asked by your Infotag correspondent how the situation will be developing if the rest 17 deputies, who elected Karaseni as speaker last week, decide to boycott plenary sittings, the Bashkan said the present 18 may well vote for forum self-dissolution.
In his words, there already exists no possibility of electing a new Assembly chairman because speaker Sergei Chernev was elected on June 16 on a fully legal ground: “He polled 18 ballots in the forum of 35. The vote-count commission has recognized all the ballot papers as valid, which cannot be said about the electing of Demyan Karaseni”.
Despite the growing temperature of relations between Chisinau and Comrat, the head of the autonomy’s executive power branch stated resolutely that not even a hint at separatism exists in Gagauzia, for “we want to be an exemplary model of relationship between the authorities of an autonomous region and the central government of a state”.
