Oleg Belyakov: "It is a very dangerous trend which can hamper the peacekeeping operation itself"

The situation in the Security Zone was discussed at the meeting

This has been the first time in the 20-year history of the Joint Control Commission

Members of the Ukrainian battalion Azov and the Union of Ukraine's Pridnestrovians have taken part in the action

This was stated by the acting minister of foreign affairs, Vitaliy Ignatyev, in a briefing for journalists

The Head of State took part in the meeting dedicated to the 24 anniversary of the Pridnestrovie's Armed Forces

"The transformation of the peacekeeping operation is not reasonable," said Yevgeny Shevchuk during a news conference

"I have already encharged the law enforcement authorities with a relevant task to take measures to identification of such persons," the President declared at the press conference

This is what Pridnestrovie's deputy foreign minister, Vasiliy Ingnatyev, said in an interview with journalists

The special attention the Pridnestrovian president gives to the problems of the peacekeeping operation has made military service far more attractive

The JCC cochairman from Pridnestrovie Oleg Belyakov alerts about the possible risks concerning the renewal of hostilities in case of Russian peacekeeping contingent replacement with the international military, police or civil missions

The chief governing body in the Security Zone of the Pridenestrovian conflict was formed in compliance with the provisions of the Agreement on principles of peaceful settlement signed by the presidents of Russia and Moldova on 21 July 1992

Toady a scheduled meeting of the Joint Control Commission has taken place in Bendery
