Abstract

Moldvova Sovyetlerin dağılmasından sonra bağımsızlığını kazandı. 27 Ağustos 1991 yılında bağımsızlığını ilan etmesinden bugüne kadar Birleşmiş Milletlerce tanınan toprak bütünlüğünü sağlayamadı. Dinyester nehri ülkeyi bölen bir nehir oldu. Nehrin sağ tarafında (batı) Moldova, sol tarafında (doğu) Transdinyester hükümetleri vardır. Bu çalışmada Moldova ve Transdinyester taraflarının ülkenin toprak bütünlüğünü sağlamak için bu güne kadar neden bir çözüm bulamadıkları incelenmiştir. Makalede çözümsüzlüğe sebep olarak dört farklı gerekçe açıklanmıştır. Ilk olarak tarihi sebepler izah edilirken ikinci olarak etnik yapı çözümsüzlük için sebep olarak belirtilmiştir. Üçüncü olarak, özellikle Rusya Federasyonu için, Transdinyesterin geopolitik önemi üzerinde durulmuş ve son olarak da ekonomik yapı çözümsüzlük için en önemli sebep olarak gösterilmiştir. Transdinyester bugün literatürde dondurulmuş çatışma bölgesi olarak isimlendirilmektedir.

Abstract

Moldova gained the independence after collapse of the USSR. It declared the independence in 27 August 1991. Form this date, Moldova have not integrated yet its teritory where ratified by the United Nations. Transnistria is not under the Chisinau government as a de facto state. The Dniester River sperates two governments as if tow different states. The left bank of the river is Transnistria, on the other hand the right bank of the River is Moldova. In this article why the parties have not been able to find a solution for the conflict is examined. Four reasons are claimed for the conflict. First of all historical reality is an important reason for the conflict, also ethnic diversity can be counted as secondly. Especially Russian effect on the teritory is a reason for conflict as geopolitic and the last economic reason is the most important reason for the conflict, which is known as the tfrozen conflict zone.
