The Russian Federation Council speaker says attempts to
have dialog with Ukraine's parliament failed.
MOSCOW, June 29. /TASS/. Speaker of the Russian
Federation Council upper house of parliament Valentina Matviyenko said on
Wednesday that the Russian parliament is still open to dialogue with the
Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada (parliament), despite the previous unsuccessful
attempts to establish contact with the Ukrainian colleagues.
"As for me, my conscience is clear regarding the
Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. We have made repeated attempts within the framework
of the Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (of the CIS countries), as well as at the
bilateral level to invite our colleagues from the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine to
dialogue. Unfortunately, our attempts have failed, but we still remain open to
such a dialogue", the speaker of the Federation Council told reporters.
Matviyenko said that "the parliamentary dialogue
should be maintained in any conditions."
