Moldovan Defense Minister Vitalie Marinuta said on Thursday that if the country decides to send troops to Afghanistan, conscripted soldiers will not be included in the deployment.
Mr. Marinuta thusly tried to dispell rumors disseminated in media outlets that authorities would send regular soldiers to Afghanistan. He stressed that the military staff that will leave will do so based on a contract. Mr. Marinuta added that they will not take part in any fighting.
Moldova has a national conscription service, and rumors said that young men who are on duty would have to go to Afghanistan. Mr. Marinuta specifically told the parents of these soldiers that their sons would not leave the country.
In the war on terror, Moldova has sent sappers to Iraq, who neutralized over 400,000 explosive units.
