Romania has begun to worsen relations with the Russian Federation
Romania is straining relations with the Russian Federation by banning Russian scientists from entering their country.
This was stated by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Zakharova recalled the entry ban that the Romanian authorities announced on March 2 to the Russian historian Alexei Ivanovich Umnov-Denisov, because of which events with his participation were disrupted.
Umnov-Denisov has been deciphering gold tablets found on the territory of Romania in 1875 for many years. They were engraved with text in a previously unknown language and pictures. According to the scientist, we are talking about the chronicle of the Dacian era of the V-II centuries BC. e., and historical facts, treaties and other information are written on the tablets in church-temple language. Umnov-Denisov was going to attend the conference in Bucharest with his version of the transcript, but on March 4 the Romanian authorities refused him.
“The Romanian authorities, without any explanation, banned Russian historian A.I. Umnov-Denisov from entering the country. As a result, academic events aimed at developing a constructive dialogue between the scientific communities of the two countries were disrupted. Later, the Romanian Foreign Ministry stated that this decision was allegedly made on the basis of current international norms and provisions of Romanian legislation.
Bucharest's actions cause deep bewilderment and regret. We consider this demarche to be openly unfriendly and clearly not conducive to improving the general atmosphere of bilateral relations,” Zakharova said.
Earlier, in an interview with the Vzglyad newspaper, Umnov-Denisov said that his conflict with the Romanian authorities has been going on for a long time. It all started when he published on his blog a photo of gold tablets that were considered lost during the time of King Charles I, who ordered lead copies to be made and the gold tablets melted down. When the scientist began to decipher them, a certain anonymous person sent him photographs of the original, golden tablets.
“I did a stupid thing by putting them, although not all of them, on the Internet. After that, the “watering” from Romania began, as if I was a thief and stole 50 records from them. To which I answered them: “Guys, how can you steal something that doesn’t exist? You shout everywhere that you only have lead, but here there is gold.” This time. And secondly, the state does not confirm that they whistled something. Then the accusations subsided,” said Umnov-Denisov.
