Expert: The moment the last Russian soldier leaves
Transdnestr, NATO troops will come in


The director of the Russian-Transdnestr
Information-Analytical Center Alexey Martynov comments
to REGNUM on the demand for Russia to withdraw its
troops from Transdnestr raised at the OSCE Ministerial
Council in Ljubljana last week and the agreement for
the US to deploy its four military bases in Romania
singed in Bucharest at the very same time.

“In this context, as a new NATO member Romania is
fulfilling the US' demands for deploying military
bases in its territory. This will give the US
strategic and military influence over the whole
region: the Balkans, Moldova, southern Ukraine. That
is exactly why the OSCE foreign ministers reiterated
in Ljubljana that Russia should withdraw its troops
from Transdnestr in compliance with the Istanbul
agreements 1999. But Russia has long complied with
these agreements — there are no troops left in
Transdnestr. True, there is still plenty of Russian
arms there, which Russia had been gradually
withdrawing until Moldova froze the peace talks on a
unilateral basis. Following this Transdnestr insisted
on stopping the withdrawal and the Russian military
contingent there is now ensuring the safety and
immunity of the arms.”

The position of the OSCE, who is fulfilling the order
of its oversea bosses, is quite clear: now that the US
is stationing military bases in Romania to gain
control over the whole region it will not bear the
presence of even a small contingent of Russian troops
in Transdnestr.

Moreover, geo-strategically it is more convenient to
have a military base in Tiraspol than in Romania.

First, this allows to control a bigger territory.

Second, this area still has Soviet-time
infrastructure, for example, an aerodrome in Tiraspol
wherefrom a plane can reach the Balkans in just 12
minutes.

So, the persistence of the OSCE, or, in other words,
the US and the EU, to force Russia and its troops out
of Transdnestr is just a wish to take their place.

The moment the last Russian soldier leaves
Transdnestr, NATO troops will come in to set up their
base.



However eager the Romanians may be “to revive their
Great Romania,” this all is, obviously, being done for
serving the economic interests of the US, who wants to
control the oil, gas and transport arteries running
from Russia via this region to feed Europe.
