Румыния Отказала Юридически Определить Границу С Молдавией

“Не идет речи о “договоре о границе”, поскольку документ не определяет границу, а является техническим инструментом, содержащим положения, относящиеся к таким вопросам, как обозначение и обслуживание границы или порядок использования приграничных вод”, – отмечает издание.

Эта реакция со стороны дипломатического ведомства Румынии последовала после недавнего заявления вице-министра иностранных дел Молдавии Андрея Попова. Попов заявил, что Молдавия будет настаивать на том, что документ, касающийся государственной границы между РМ и Румынией, должен носить название “Договор о режиме молдо-румынской границы”. По мнению румынских властей, это должно быть “Соглашение об управлении пограничными режимами”.

Russian Police Probe Wikipedia For Extremism

Moscow police have received a complaint saying that the international collaborative project Wikipedia contains extremist materials, and are currently working to check it.

The news was reported to various Russian media on Monday by Stanislav Kozlovskiy, the head of the Russian nonprofit organization Wikipedia.ru, which provides support to the Russian segment of the free encyclopedia. According to Kozlovskiy, an unnamed official from the city police department called their office and said that the police received a complaint, saying that some texts from the list of extremist materials were posted on the Wikipedia website.

He added that the police were currently gathering information about Wikipedia, but said that Russian law enforcement had no means to make Wikipedia change its content as the encyclopedia’s servers are outside Russia. They did not specify what texts were mentioned in the complaint, but the activists from the organization checked the website and found the text of Benito Mussolini’s 1932 essay “The Doctrine of Fascism.” He also said that the text will be deleted from Wikipedia’s website if it turns out that it is protected by copyright.

Russia: Terrorists Launch Deadly Attack On Chechen Parliament

At least two people died on Tuesday morning when militants launched an attack on the parliament of Russia’s North Caucasus republic of Chechnya.

“A vehicle carrying terrorists drove in with cars carrying lawmakers. One of them blew himself up and the other two headed toward parliament,” a police said. The parliament has been evacuated and a special operation, headed by Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, is underway to flush out the militants.

This is the second serious terrorist incident in Chechnya in recent months. In August, a suicide squad launched a massive attack on Kadyrov’s home village of Tsentroi. Chechnya, which saw two brutal separatist wars in the 1990s and early 2000s, has seen relative calm in recent years under Kadyrov, a former militant turned Kremlin ally whom critics have accused of human rights abuses.
