Voenno-Promyshlenny Kuryer [The Military Industrial Courier], a Russian weekly newspaper that covers military issues and is influential in the defense community there, published an article in its January 20-26 issue, arguing that the probability of wars in the Commonwealth of Independent States would go up in 2010.
Alexei Matveev, the author of the article, mentions Moldova a few times. He notes that after the "so-called democratic alliance" in the country won elections, military conflict in Trasnistria could appear again. Mr. Matveev adds that if the ruling Alliance stays in power, the military situation in the breakaway republic could become more tense.
The paper suggests to the Kremlin to strengthen the Commonwealth of Independent States as a counter-weight to Russia's possible loss of influence in the area.
