Lytvyn says authorities ready for negotiations; Tymoshenko says no

Nov 23, 21:46
Yanukovych and Kuchma want to talk; Yushchenko camp names hard conditions as Tymoshenko refuses to meet

(Korrespondent.net and Post Staff) Rada speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn announced that President Leonid Kuchma and the authorities' chosen candidate Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych have expressed a readiness to take part in a roundtable negotiation with opposition candidate Viktor Yushchenko.

The speaker also said he spoke with Yushchenko representatives, who said they were ready for a dialogue but demanded a number of conditions. But in an appearance on Channel 5 television on the evening of Nov. 23, opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko said the opposition refused to negotiate.

Lytvyn said he reported the conditions to Yanukovych, who responded that "a theme for negotiations exists," and that conditions can be discussed.

The speaker suggested that the meeting of the three sides take part in the Rada. "The meeting place doesn't matter; what matters is the essence of the negotiations. Today politicians should talk, and if they don't, then the streets are going to talk for them," said the parliament leader.

I'm betting on the following if the stupid bastrd (Yuschenko) doesn't get it through his thick skull that he lost and storms the central election commision Ukraine will split into two. Possibly with bloodshed which noone wants to happen. He lost period, exit polls were wrong cause noone polled the easter half where more of the population is located. The polls were done in Kiev and Lvov and thats one biased opinion of course it would say he would win there by 75 to 25%...

I m betting that the interantional community will ostrosize Ukrane and it will have to bear the brunt of world opinion just without the resources US had when we elected Bush. I m betting the only one Ukraine will turn to is Russia because that is the only path left when Europe and US are screaming at you when you elect someone they didnt like. I m betting that after Russian enters the WTO the eastern half of Ukraine along with all of the south will have a referrendum and join Russia or do so before hand if this idiot storms the capital.
