"The organizers of the largest crimes in the history of the Republic of Moldova plan on Friday and on Sunday to use children again - this time to defeat the government building.

The police will use all the necessary means to protect the constitutionality of the Republic of Moldova, including a weapon, the Greek was broadcast on the air several times.
