Sergei Tigipko: Ukraine doesn't need GUAMNovember 5, 2009 - 11:33 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Ukraine doesn't need GUAM, according to well-known economist and politician Sergei Tigipko."This organization was formed in late 1990-ies for new transportation route for Caspian oil but then it was transformed into a sanitary cordon around Russia," he said when commenting on the visit of secretary of Ukrainian council of national security and defense to Moldova. Tigipko reminded that Ukraine once agreed to collaborate with the government of communist Moldova and fell between two stools. "We should not be deluded by change in power in Moldova, which doesn't care about Ukraine's interests. Unless we learn to build our policy with pragmatic egoism, we will have to pull the chestnuts out of fire for Russia, Georgia, Moldova and other so-called strategic partners," he said. ![]() ![]() Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert.
