Moldovans lay flowers in front of U.S. Embassy in Chisinau to commemorate 9/11 terrorist attacks

A few Moldovans laid flowers in front of the U.S. Embassy in Chisinau today to commemorate the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Liberal Democratic Party head Vlad Filat said that "this is in memory of the ones who are no longer among us, and those who are still suffering because of losing their loved ones. It is important for us not to forget what happened so that we do not let these tragic events happen again."

Valeriu Saharneanu, head of the Journalists' Union of Moldova noted that "any human being's tragedy gives rise to compassion. The American people suffered a lot during that day. What happened there was a sign that the world is in danger. We are a people that have been touched by the aggressiveness of the 20th century and we know what suffering is. That is why we are here - to share in the suffering of the American people."

Vladimir Crasicov said he donated blood right after he heard about the tragedy, and that he comes to the Embassy every year.
