In Moldova, the candidacy of Azerbaijani Ramiz Ansarov for the position of mayor of Orhei has been approved.
Ramiz Ansarov hails from Western Azerbaijan – his father was born and raised in the Barana district, and later moved to Baku with his family. Ramiz himself was born on April 12, 1987, in Chișinău. A father of four sons, he actively participates in the socio-political life of Moldova and contributes to the development of the diaspora as the vice-president of the Congress of Azerbaijanis in Moldova.
Ramiz Ansarov told AZERTAC that he has been living in Orhei for several years.
“During this time, I have established excellent relationships with the local population of Orhei. I have experience working in the police, engineering, manufacturing, and small business. But it doesn’t matter where I work; what matters is what I learn and how I can be useful to others. My wife Irina and I own a small business, and we are glad that the residents of Orhei appreciate us. The coffee we make has already earned a reputation as one of the best in the region,” added our compatriot.
According to Ansarov, he believes in his victory in the mayoral elections: “I have officially registered as a candidate for the position of mayor of Orhei. This is just the beginning of serious work. I have a clear program for the city of Orhei – transportation for residents, greening initiatives, support for low-income citizens, and new opportunities for young people. There are countless examples worldwide of how ordinary places become powerful industrial, logistical, and financial centers, where money, innovation, and development subsequently flow. Orhei has everything necessary for this – educated people, infrastructure, and a favorable geographical location.”
Our compatriot noted that he has not forgotten his roots and loves both his homeland, Moldova, and Azerbaijan: “I was born in Moldova, I am a citizen of this country, and I can proudly say that I am a patriot. But at the same time, we must know our history and not forget our roots. My father is Azerbaijani, and I am proud of him. I want my children to know the history of their grandparents and great-grandparents, as well as the customs and traditions of all the peoples living in Moldova. I believe this is the only way to raise a truly civilized generation – a generation that respects its roots, its country, and other nations.”
Earlier, the Central Electoral Commission of Moldova scheduled new local elections for May 17.
