"Mr President, I have the impression that the strange administrative creations which exist in Transnistria are only there to remind us how little it takes to create a situation where infringements of human rights are viewed as the norm and where the
is based on a lack of respect for the law and the voice of the international community.
If anyone has forgotten or would like to know what the KGB’s version of model Communism looks like, they should go to the Transnistrian region. In spite of the strong efforts of international organisations, nothing has changed for years. Today, Transnistria is the European, if not the global, centre of the illegal arms trade. Weapons are sold to the most volatile parts of the world. It is also a base for trafficking drugs, women and children, with a total lack of respect for the rights of detainees.
If we do not do our duty and try to change the situation, we may well find that attitudes of which we utterly disapprove win the day. I would like to add an amendment to the resolution on which we will be voting. Mr Tudor Popa is mentioned. He was, we are happy to say, recently released. Both parts of his surname are mentioned in the text, namely Petrov-Popa. He does not wish the Russian part of his name to be used, as it was forced upon him by the self-proclaimed authorities in the Transnistria, and his name should therefore read: Tudor Popa."@en1
