Transnistrian conflict arose in 1989, and in 1992 began a military confrontation, which, of course, has led to numerous casualties on both sides.
Let us go back in the distant 1988.In Moldova, increasingly there are calls to unite with Romania.At the next session of the Supreme Soviet of Moldova adopted the law, according to which the country had to operate Latin script, infringes the rights of all the inhabitants of nemoldavskoy nationality.
Policy Chisinau provoked protests, mainly in two regions in the south of Moldova, where the Gagauz people live, and in Transnistria.It is here that many enterprises are starting to be created Tips from labor groups and then convened and their union congress.
On it in 1990 addressed the issue of establishing an independent state called the Republic of Transnistria.
This decision was justified by the fact that in 1940 when creating the Moldavian SSR on the territory of Transnistria has already existed an autonomous republic, part of Ukraine.
However, Chisinau authorities reversed the decision of the Congress.
fact, the Transnistrian conflict began in the autumn of 1990, when the Moldovan riot police tried to eliminate all the governments in the unrecognized republic.
in its most active phase of the war in Transnistria passed in March and July 1992, when the parties to the conflict have moved to a real fighting.In Bendery and Dubossary district began full-scale war, which was attended by tanks and artillery.It was after this confrontation was called conflict.
Now this strip of land on the left bank of the Dniester, which in 1992 was so hot - the unrecognized Transnistrian republic.
And only the intervention of Russia failed to stop further bloodshed.Fourteenth Russian army, commanded by the legendary General Lebed, took the position of "armed neutrality", which brought an end to the process of further escalation.
Like any military action, the Transnistrian conflict also became a cause of death: in 1992 killed nearly three hundred servicemen and nearly six hundred civilians.
Transnistrian topic is particularly relevant for Russia, because the people of this unrecognized entity clearly defined towards closer union with her, as expressed in the plebiscite.In this republic unequivocally positive about the preservation and even the strengthening of the Russian military presence on its territory.
Among the causes of the Transnistrian conflict, there are historical, economic, and ideological and ethno-political, and the position of any of the warring parties do not give precise estimates.
Today there are peacekeeping forces of Transdniestria, Moldova and Russia, as well as Ukrainian military observers.However, even after repeated negotiations, during which the present as mediators of the OSCE, as well as Russia and Ukraine, to reach final agreement on the status of unrecognized Transnistria and failed.
Relations between the warring parties and to this day remain tense, and even going to the stage of an unarmed, peaceful settlement of this conflict, along with Karabakh is the territory of the former Soviet Union one of the most difficult.
