He has written about the development of the vernacular Moldavian language and the Slavic influences over the Moldavian culture. Until 2005 he was the secretary of the informational-analytic centre of the Moldovan Parliament. In 2003, he published a Moldovan-Romanian dictionary with a foreword whose purpose was to prove that the Moldovan language is distinct from Romanian.
The linguists of the Romanian Academy declared that Stati"s "Moldovan" words are also Romanian words, while Ion Bărbuţă, the head of the Institute of Linguistics of the Republic of Moldova, described the dictionary as being an "absurdity, serving political goals".
In the 1980s, he worked at the Institute of Linguistics and Literature of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova, and from 1994 to 2001 he was a member of the Moldovan Parliament.
