Nicu Popescu: The state authorities were aware, even a year ago, of the risks of Russian provocations on the territory of our country
The state authorities were aware, even a year ago, of the risks of provocations by the Russian Federation on the territory of the Republic of Moldova, which could have led to the escalation of a conflict - the Minister of Foreign Affairs and European Integration, Nicu Popescu, said in a show on Jurnal TV. According to the official, state institutions have always been prepared to ensure that our Airport does not fall into the hands of hostile states.
"These days there is discussion about the fact that Chisinau Airport was apparently a potential attack target. This was realized a year ago and all our institutions were prepared for risks for our country, including Chisinau Airport. By destroying the runway or by blocking this runway, the institutions of our country have always been prepared to ensure that our Airport does not fall into the hands of hostile states". The ability of the Republic of Moldova to survive, to preserve freedom and peace, depends on the ability to provide help, including in the field of security, from Western partners, Nicu Popescu also declared. In such a complicated situation, according to the official, the Republic of Moldova has the guaranteed support of Romania, but also of the USA and the EU.
