During his stay in Ivano-Frankivsk, A.Martyniuk had meetings with the community, gave interviews to the local mass media, appeared on the regional television, and held a press conference for the journalists.
A.Martyniuk spoke negatively on the idea of establishing the two-chamber parliament in Ukraine. The second chamber is expected to represent the regions and its members will be presented mostly by the heads of State regional administrations, appointed by the President of Ukraine.
