Recent GUAM Assembly discloses duplicity of Moldova’s leadership again – MPs
The recent Parliamentary Assembly (PA) of GUAM, which took place currently in Chisinau, has disclosed the traditional duplicity of Moldova’s leadership again and has showed once again the West, neighbor countries and GUAM partners that “the communists are not reliable”, leader of the social-liberal MPs Oleg Serebrian stated on Thursday 19 October, at the Parliament’s sitting.
Referring to the fact that Moldova didn’t support Georgia at the PA, in the conflict in which it finds itself with Russia at present, Serebrian asserted that the communist government in Chisinau “was afraid of not offering Moscow another occasion for anger”. “Probably, in their naivety, the leading communists of the country assume that things are changing and that Moscow began believing in tears. They don’t realize that in order to be forgiven by Russians, Moldovan communists have to turn down Voronin and not Nino Burdjanandze, the Georgian speaker”, mentioned Serebrian.
A group of MPs of the Chisinau Parliament, other social-liberal MPs among them, as well as five MPs that left PPCD and AMN factions, undersigned this appeal-statement addressed to their colleagues in Tbilisi, by means of which they “ask pardon” for the position of the Chisinau officials. “It could happen this year that Georgia will be left without heat or power; and the houses in Moldova, thanks to a miracle, to be both heated and supplied with power. Still, all the nuclear plants of the world would fail to save Moldova from the darkness into which it was plunged by the communist government”, Oleg Serebrian added.
The GUAM Parliamentary Assembly took place in Chisinau on 15 October. Here the member states didn’t take attitude towards the increasing tension between Russia and Georgia. Subsequently, at the meeting of the Council of CIS Foreign Ministers in Minsk (Belarus), GUAM member states have launched a joint statement through which they call on Russian Federation to abstain from unilateral actions with Georgia, aimed at suspending economic, humanitarian relations and of other interstate character.
