Highlights
from the
Kishinev, December 16, 1990
- participants over 800.000 Moldavians -
The
Second Session of the Great National Assembly of all Romanians of Bessarabia,
Transnistria and Northern Bucovina, having convened at a crucial moment of the
history (of Moldavia), finds
the following:
.....
A direct outcome of the 1940 act of aggression is the presence on the
Moldavian national territory of the occupying army, of the communist party of
the Soviet Union, and of its secret police, the KGB, active even today to
ensure the soviet imperialistic domination.
.....
The empire's ruling regime is using a new treaty of union to try to maintain
the captive nations as mere component parts of a state that is prevalently
monolithic and totalitarian.
Faced
with the immediate danger of a total annihilation of the very national
existence of the Romanians in the occupied territories, reasserting the
people's perennial desire for freedom and independence, .... and in accordance
with the universally recognized right of the nations to self determination,
THE
GREAT NATIONAL ASSEMBLY proclaims:
-
The national independence of the Romanians in the occupied territories and the
granting to the entire Romanian nation the right to defend and guarantee that
independence using all available means;
-
Signing any treaty of union with an empire would confer a semblance of
legality to the act of occupation of June 28, 1940....
There is absolutely no
legal evidence that could bear witness to our desire to become part of the
U.S.S.R. Having been engulfed into the U.S.S.R. against our free will, (we)
the people of the Romanian occupied territories have no obligation to the
soviet state;
The
future of the Romanian occupied territories should be decided only by the
Romanian nation in its entirety, that nation being the unique entity to which
international law applies, and that nation being the bearer of the unalterable
and inalienable right to decide itsown fate without external intervention;
.....
The participation of the Moldavian Republic's deputies in the Assembly of
Deputies and Supreme Soviet of the U.S.S.R. has in the present circumstances
no juridical validity and no moral justification;
.....
Faithful to its striving for national unity and independence, our nation once
more reasserts its desire for peaceful coexistence and cooperation with the
citizens of other national extraction, granting them all rights for the free
development of their ethnic, cultural and religious life (.....).
.....
Our
nation's progress toward democracy and independence cannot be conceived
without the guarantee of all universally acknowledged basic human rights;
--
No state and no party of political body has a right to instigate the citizens
of Moldavia to perpetrate acts of treason against their nation. Hence the
continued activity on Romanian territory of the structures of the occupying
power such as the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the KGB, the soviet
secret police, a.s.o., is in disagreement with the best interests and
aspirations of (the Moldavian) people. The Great National Assembly demands
that those foreign structure be legally banned and their property be
nationalized.
.....
The right of nations to decide their own fate is unlimited and indivisible.
The Moldavian people has claimed that right by embarking upon a national
liberation movement that cannot be stopped either by unfavorable political
circumstances or by the arbitrary dictates of the leaders of the U.S.S.R. The
attempts of those leaders at using the army to suppress the national
liberation movement is a crime against our nation....
