/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.
