A coalition of the Party of
Regions and BYuT is possible under the condition of forming a new government at
the head of Viktor Yanukovych, vice speaker Oleksandr Lavrynovych (Party of
Regions) said.
“I consider this union possible,
but only if they are ready to give the first place to the interests of the
nation and if they are ready to make way for those who can do the job…If Yulia
Tymoshenko understands this and declares that her government resigns and that
her political force is ready to participate in formation of a new government with
the Party of Regions,” he said.
According to Lavrynovych,
otherwise early parliamentary elections are inevitable. “If the elections are
postponed again, BYuT will have fewer chances to have solid representation in
the parliament and to influence the situation,” he believes.
At the same time the vice
speaker noted that “under normal conditions of country development” the
question regarding the coalition with BYuT would not be urgent.
