Ukraine court rejects suits from "orange" parliamentary partners

Topic: Ukrainian political turmoil

13:18 13/07/2006
KIEV, July 13 (RIA Novosti) - A Kiev court rejected Thursday lawsuits filed by two Western-leaning blocs against parliamentary moves that brought about the end of their coalition.

The Our Ukraine and Yulia Tymoshenko blocs filed the motions Wednesday in a bid to secure a ruling that would have made last week's election of the parliamentary speaker and the establishment of the "anti-crisis" coalition illegitimate.

But Speaker Oleksandr Moroz, whose defection from the "orange coalition" brought it down, told a parliamentary session: "The Pechersky Court has rejected all four suits by Our Ukraine and the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc."

Moroz said this was the best response to accusations that the new parliamentary leadership and the "anti-crisis coalition" - made up of the pro-Russia Party of Regions, the Socialists and the Communists - were acting illegitimately.
