Andrian Candu gifted today tricolor ribbons to every visitor and employee of the Parliament of Republic of Moldova, to celebrate State Flag Day.

"Through aspirations and sacrifices, generation after generation, we created a meaning for tricolor. I decided to gift today to all staff members and visitors a small tricolor, because it is the state flag that unites us both in good and bad times. It is our people's pride. Tricolor inspires us to believe in the future and gives us courage to continue fighting for our country to regain its right to decide by itself how it will further develop" President of Moldovan Parliament said.

At the same time, the Parliament hosts a history expo, displaying historic flags belonging to Center of Military History and Culture. People will be able to see duplicates of flags, seals and stamps on which signs of heraldry from different periods are printed. The oldest flag being of the great Stephen III of Moldavia (1457-1504).

The expo will be open to May 2. State Flag Day is celebrated since 2010, each April 27. On this day, in 1990, Tricolor was designated as the official State Flag of the Republic of Moldova by the Parliament.
