Biography

Țăranu holds a Ph.D. in history, 1986, and served as member of the Parliament of Moldova (1990–1993, 2005–2009). Țăranu has also been a chief expert for the Chişinău side during negotiations with separatist leaders in Transnistria. Between 1993–1994, Țăranu was Moldovan Ambassador to Moscow, and between 1997 and 1998 he was an advisor with special missions to the President of the Republic of Moldova. At the third congress of the Social Democratic Party, 25–26 February 1995, Anatol Țăranu was elected as a new head of the party.[1]

After 2005 parliamentary election, Anatol Țăranu was excluded from Party Alliance Our Moldova. On 16 December 2006 Țăranu became a deputy chairman of the new National Liberal Party; Țăranu left the party in November 2008 because he disagreed with the party's decision to stand for parliament in 2009 jointly with the European Action Movement.[2]

He currently works as Director of the Political Science and Political History Centre of the State University of Moldova and at the History Institute of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova, where he worked before becoming a deputy.[3]
