President Yuschenko is not interested in the position of the Ukrainian prime minister


Kyiv (Ukrainian News Agency). President Viktor Yuschenko is not interested in the position of the Ukrainian prime minister should he lose at the presidential elections, he told the ICTV channel. "I won't be the prime minister. I'd like to calm down all those lying advertising campaigns," he said. Yuschenko said that he will never take part in the intrigues not aiming national interests of Ukraine. He confirmed his confidence in the victory at the presidential elections. As Ukrainian News earlier reported, Verkhovna Rada deputy of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc Valerii Kalchenko considers that Yuschenko is interested in the prime minister or vice prime minister's post for humanitarian issues should the leader of the Party of Regions Viktor Yanukovych win at the forthcoming presidential elections. Yuschenko considers that Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and the leader of the Party of Regions Viktor Yanukovych would prefer the position of the prime minister to the post of the Ukrainian president.
