Turchynov: Ukraine wants to form government of people's confidence

KYIV, February 25 /Ukrinform/. Today, the main priority for the Ukrainian parliament that "in essence, has remained the only legitimate authority in the country", is restoration of executive power in the country's center and locally. Verkhovna Rada Speaker Oleksandr Turchynov has said this at a meeting with U.S Deputy Secretary William Burns in Kyiv on Tuesday, according to Turchynov's spokesman.

"Virtually all the power is concentrated here, in parliament, but it cannot be directly involved in the work of the executive branch," Turchynov said, adding that on Thursday the Verkhovna Rada intends to vote for a government of people's confidence.

The parliament chairman also expressed his belief that the new government will resume the course of European integration, "which was blocked by the previous government", and cooperation with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

"We are going to implement deep reforms of economic, administrative and law enforcement agencies and modernize judiciary, which is actually completely destroyed," he said.
