Tymoshenko Strikes Friendly Chord

On the first anniversary of the Orange Revolution, ex P.M Yulia Tymoshenko has offfered peace to President Yushchenko.

"I am certain that just as we supported Viktor Yushchenko in the presidential election, we must now unite to elect a prime minister who will embody everything we fought for,"

"I want to dismiss all the rumours that it is Tymoshenko versus Yushchenko. This cannot be so because this is the president that you and I helped bring to power."

Yushchenko also continued the love-in by saying

"It is pity that mutual accusations were put forward, which caused both teams to lose their reputations...Today when we talk about the revolution anniversary, I'd like all sides to use it to form one voice on the square, for each political force despite the personal ambitions of its leader to understand a very simple thing: Only solidarity brings success."

Lets hope the two democratic forces can work together to push Kuchma's corrupt cronies off the political scene forever. Today's comments are the most encouraging i've seen so far.
