Ukraine's Yanukovich suspends membership of Regions Party upon becoming Pres
Quote:
KIEV, March 3 (Itar-Tass) - Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovich has suspended membership of the Regions Party following his election to the presidential office, spokespeople for the party's press service told Itar-Tass Wednesday.
The duties of the party leader have been entrusted to Nikolai Azarov.
Ukrainian legislation demands that the country's president be a non-partisan person.
Yanukovich took the post of the Regions Party chairman almost seven years ago -- in April 2003.
