Die Situation der Minderheitenrechte ist alarmierend<\/span><\/span><\/h1><\/div>In the Republic of Moldova, the situation concerning the observance of the rights of national minorities is alarming, Socialist MP Vladimir Turcan, who heads the parliamentary commission on human rights and interethnic relations, said in a roundtable meeting centering on the integration of national minorities and protection of their rights on August 29. According to the MP, the language spoken on Moldova\u2019s territory is now the major problem of the national minorities, IPN reports.<\/p>\n
Vladimir Turcan said that besides the problem of the spoken language, the national minorities also face difficulties as regards education, free access to justice, integration into the socioeconomic and political life. \u201cRegrettably, after the law on the functioning of languages on the territory of the Republic of Moldova was adopted, the government didn\u2019t take measures to encourage the national minorities to study the official language,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
Liberal-Democratic MP Vadim Pistrinciuc said the Moldovan authorities should learn from the European states\u2019 experience in integrating the national minorities into all the sectors of the Moldovan economy. \u201cOur ethnic communities have a rich experience and a good practice of coexistence. However, the subject of interethnic relations continues to be widely speculated. At the level of political elites, this subject is discussed a lot. Heated discussions are held, but these later become less intense. It seems that we know what we have to do, but every time something prevents us. Maybe it\u2019s time to learn from others,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
For his part, executive director of the Institute for Strategic Initiatives Vladislav Kulminscki said the lack of an open and honest dialogue on problems that divide the national minorities is acute in Moldovan society. \u201cMoldova is well known for the fact that all the ethnic communities here consider this country a common home. All the ethnic groups here have a very high level of cultural integration and confidence in each other. It is well known that the division is mainly related to the policy that is consciously pursued by the political parties in narrow interests,\u201d concluded Vladislav Kulminscki.<\/p>\n
According to the 2014 census, 75.1% of the population consider themselves Moldovans, 7% \u2013 Romanians, 6.6% \u2013 Ukrainians, 4.6% \u2013 Gagauz, 4.1% \u2013 Russian, 1.9% – Bulgarians, while 0.3% – Roma.<\/p>\n
The event entitled \u201cIntegration and protection of the rights of national minorities in Germany \u2013 local policies and role of the EU\u201d was organized by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation (KAS) in partnership with the Institute for Strategic Initiatives of Moldova.<\/p>\n
