Today on #HolocaustMemorialDay, the world remembers the millions of Jews & other minorities murdered in Holocaust.

Moldova is committed to protecting survivors, recording and teaching their stories to preserve memory and prevent similar horrors.
But as commemorations are held at the site of Auschwitz-Birkenau to mark the 78th anniversary of the Nazi death camp's liberation, I can’t help thinking that it lies only 300km from Ukraine, where Russian aggression is creating unthinkable death and destruction.
As the international community pays tribute to the victims of eight decades ago, we must redouble our efforts to stop and prevent new atrocities in Europe.

1) thread. presidential elections in Moldova tomorrow. EU and Russia positions.
2) background: on 1.11 @sandumaiamd suprisingly won by 3.5% margin first round against incumbent Dodon, defeating the predictions of most opinion polls. in 2016 Dodon defeated @sandumaiamd by 52% to 48%.
3) @sandumaiamd came on top in the 1st round thanks to record turnout in diaspora -149.000 (compared to 140k in the 2nd round in 2016). this represented 12% of all voters. Dodon got 3% in diaspora. mobilization despite COVID and lockdowns in FR and IE.

Some takeaways from the latest war in Nagorno-Karabakh:
1) The conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh is now officially re-frozen in a way that resembles closely the Madrid Principles, considered by everyone a rather fair compromise. BUT:
2) Azeri (and Turkish) military force, not diplomats delivered progress towards that ‘compromise’. the other key difference - no more talk of NK status. Its like Madrid but without NK status talk and without the diplomats in the room
3) NK will resemble much more Abkhazia and South Ossetia before 2008. No status talk. Russian peacekeepers. NK security is now co-guaranteed by Russia, but AM lost its own capacity to defend NK should it want/need to.
