16.10.2008, 18:41
Making a speech today at the tribune of XIX congress of Donetsk regional affiliate of the Party of Regions, Viktor Yanukovych expressed his conviction that the Block of Yulia Tymoshenko would never be in power again.
"The Tymoshenko Block will never come to power because they have failed to learn how to govern the country effectively. They might have wished it, but did not succeed in it", he said in particular.
Touching upon the issues of Russian language and prospects of Ukraine's accession to NATO in his speech, Viktor Yanukovych emphasized that a dilemma to enter or not enter the Alliance should be addressed exceptionally at the all-Ukrainian referendum. "So be it as the people will say", he said.

As for the Russian language, the Party of Regions Leader marked that "the mockeries suffered by people, children, who went into the first grade, and who are forced to speak Ukrainian, should be stopped". "The children are in tears, do not want to go to schools. The number of students from the Southeast has diminished because they cannot pass tests in Ukrainian", Viktor Yanukovych noted.
In his speech to the delegates and guests of the Party Congress V. Yanukovych underlined that he arrived in Donetsk to "synchronize watches" of the party leaders with the regional affiliate.
He also mentioned that for the time being the orange fog has already lifted, and an ugly picture appeared before the Ukrainians. "Ukraine is infected with a dangerous social virus. The so-called "democratic forces" exposed it to a big trouble", he stated. According to V. Yanukovych, people do not want to go to the elections, but it is the only chance to change the life for the better.
