Pursuant to the Law, Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is the only person authorized to declare dissolution of the coalition, - stated Arseniy Yatseniuk.
The Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine expressed the abovementioned opinion in his interview to the journalists in Athens (the Hellenic Republic) on Monday.
The Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine finds no grounds for recognizing the coalition dissolved. He emphasized: "Withdrawal of two deputies will affect only the results of voting, but not the legality of the coalition. 10-15 deputies may leave. Nevertheless, the coalition stays legal, until a relevant resolution of the Factions is adopted".
A.Yatseniuk believes that the coalition should resume political dialogue.
The Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada stated that he sent the letters to Viktor Yushchenko, President of Ukraine, Yulia Tymoshenko, Prime-Minister of Ukraine, leaders of the deputy factions regarding necessity to unite around national priorities.
The Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada predicts that the situation in the Parliament will not change for a long period of time. He also excluded the possibility of reorganization of the coalition.
The Chairman of The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine emphasized his intention to meet with all the participants of negotiations within the current week.
