Chisinau, 12 June /MOLDPRES/ - Prime Minister Chiril Gaburici tendered resignation at a news briefing today.

Gaburici considers that, by this decision, there will be no longer suspicions that the inquiry on his graduation diploma is "objective and transparent."

"I am sorry that I allowed the subject on my graduation diploma acquire different connotations and be used as an instrument in the political games. I hope that, after by resignation, the subject of my diploma, without objective importance in the context of the present economic situation in Moldova, will be withdrawn from the agenda, and the public opinion will focus on real problems from the country," Chiril Gaburici said.

The prime minister said that, after his leaving, he hoped that a majority alliance would be set up in the parliament, "in order to further fight corruption, depoliticize the public institutions and ensure stability in the financial and banking sector."

Chiril Gaburici was voted as prime minister on 18 February 2015 with 60 pros of the Liberal Democratic Party, Democratic Party and Party of Communists MPs. The Prosecutor General's Office is to establish whether Gaburici's graduation diploma was fake.
