President of Moldova Vladimir Voronin believes that establishment of
GUAM peacekeeping force is an inexpedient move.
"The point is that there are no economic constituents in GUAM for
the purpose. Besides, we will never join any military, half-military
organization or organization which looks like half-military. Last year
certain member states thought of peacekeeping force formation. But
there is nothing to think about. There is no economic constituent,"
Voronin said.
Consolidation of economic cooperation within GUAM, especially in
oil and energy supply will make the organization more efficient,
according to him.
The Moldavian President believes that energy should be the principal
direction to move forward. "Azerbaijan is oil and Ukraine is energy,"
he said.
At the same time Mr. Voronin said Moldova does not consider quitting
GUAM. "The Moldovan government has no plans of the kind. On the
contrary, we want to make GUAM a functional organization, capable
to resolve economic and social problems," he said, Trend Azeri news
agency reports.
