President of Moldova opposed to country’s entry into NATO
President of Moldova Igor Dodon said at a meeting with Speaker of the Russian State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin that joining NATO is categorically unacceptable for his country.
“I've always said to all our external partners that there are three or four things that I can never [allow] to become subjects for negotiations. The first is our statehood, the preservation of Moldova, not merging with any other countries. The second is our neutrality, and NATO is categorically unacceptable. The third fundamental point is our Orthodox Christianity. European values – which they are trying to impose on us in different ways – we do not need it. And fourth is our strategic partnership with our friends from Russia,” he emphasized.
