Exhibition dedicated to 104th anniversary of Bessarabia's Union with Romania inaugurated in Moldovan capital
Chisinau, 24 March /MOLDPRES/ - A street exhibition titled, reunified Romania – 104th anniversary of Bessarabia’s Union with Romania, was inaugurated at the National Ethnography and Natural History Museum today.
Attending the event were Romania’s Ambassador to Moldova Daniel Ionita, the state secretary at the Romanian government’s Department for the Relation with Moldova, Adrian Dupu, university professor Anatol Petrencu, etc.
Contacted by MOLDPRES, the director of the host institution, Petru Vicol, said the exhibition was a history book and comprised boards presenting the most important historical data, documents and information about personalities from both banks of the Prut river, who contributed to Bessarabia’s Union with Romania. ‘’Initially, we wanted to organize a fair of Union in the museum’s yard on the occasion of this event, in which popular craftsmen and artists from Moldova and Romania were to participate; yet, our plans changed because of the war in Ukraine,’’ Petru Vicol said.
According to Vicol, visitors will be able to know details about the foundation of the Country Council, which held a solemn meeting on 27 March/9 April 1918 and voted at this event the union of the Romanian provinces of Bessarabia with Romania: ‘’The Moldovan Democratic Republic (Bessarabia), in its borders between Prut, Dniester, Danube, Black Sea and the old borders with Austria, separated by Russia from the old body of Moldova more than 100 years ago, under the power of the historical right and right of the nation, based on the principle that the nations should decide their fate independently, is uniting with Romania from now on and forever,’’ reads the Declaration on Union, signed by the speaker of the Country Council, Ion Inculet and secretary Ion Buzdugan.
In his speech, Romanian Ambassador to Moldova Daniel Ionita stressed that Bessarabia’s Union with Romania on 27 March 1918 was a holiday marked on both banks of Prut, which set the beginning of the return of Romanian provinces to the motherland. In the context, university professor Anatol Petrencu said that 22 years as part of the Greater Romania had been beneficial for Bessarabia’s economic, social and cultural development. ‘’Lyceums were opened, roads, diverse buildings were constructed, and we also had a natural growth of the population at that time,’’ Anatol Petrencu stressed.
The exhibition will be opened during three months.
