“We will always be with Russia,” says Transnistrian president." Excellent idea! Happy aniversary, Pridnestrovie (Transnistria)! And many happy, peaceful and prosperous returns!

I like the Trandniester President Igor Smirnov because he does what is right for his people, there is so much in common with Russia with Trandniester, the culture are indeed similar an many ways and since they gained their own De-Facto Independence (I most certainly recognise Transdniester) 20 years ago they have proved that they are peaceful and can survive, but as they do get Russian financial aid Transdniester will fully recover and hopefully one day the landlocked country will have all of it's embargo lifted from international countries. Their product that they produce such as bread and fruit is made for the people of Trasdniester but their main goal is to internationally export their goods, but the international community still thinks Transdniester does still smuggle arms so this is why Transdniester cannot make a great fortune for their food and other means of consumption. The guns and war are now silent and have been for 20 years so I think it is time for the international community to recognise this and life any sanctions that they have over Transdniester. Then finally they can prove just like Abkahzia and South Ossetia have done since their independence become a shining light of progress and sovereignty. Good luck Transdniester and may you thrive in peace and prosperity for all.

Again the propagandistic machine of imperial Russia in action :). The international community will never recognize the ambition of imperialist Russia. The world will wait 100 years for a muslim civilized Russia and at that moment Trandsniester will go back to Moldavia.
