Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs from the unrecognized Republic of Abkhazia, Oleg Arshba, who arrived in Moldova at the invitation of the alleged authorities from Tiraspol, made way back from Chisinau International Airport after he could not confirm the purpose of his trip.

According to the press service of the Border Police of Moldova, 

Potrivit Serviciului de presă al Poliției de Frontieră din Republica Moldova, the so-called Deputy Minister, was indeed sent back from Chisinau International Airport, because he could not confirm the purpose of his visit.

NovostiPMR claims that Oleg Arshba was invited by the authorities from Tiraspol, however the purpose of the invitation is not specified.

In this context, Deschide.MD reminds that in Transnistria, on September 2nd, the authorities from the left bank of the Dniester are celebrating the self-proclaimed so-called Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic.

In his biography is mentioned that Arshba worked in the so-called Ministry of Defense from Abkhazia from 1984 until 2008, during this period holding also the position Deputy Chairman of the Abkhaz Security Service and in 2006 Head of the Intelligence Service under the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Abkhazia.

We remind that, last year, several alleged officials from South Ossetia were declared undesirable by the authorities of the Republic of Moldova, after they have participated at the events in Tiraspol and signed a collaboration aggrement with Transnistrians. Later, the alleged Minister of Foreign Affairs of the separatist region South Ossetia has launched serious accusations against the Republic of Moldova.

At the same time, Bureau for Reintegration of the Government assessed the events held in Tiraspol on September 2nd as oriented towards undermining the principles recognized by the international community: sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Moldova.

Exactly a year ago, the Minister of Defense, Anatol Salaru, asked for explanations the Russian Embassy in Moldova, after a Russian military attache attended the parade in Tiraspol. Anatol Salaru was saying that Moscow's gesture is an unfriendly one.
