Azarov may combine duties of Prime Minister and MP

President's representative in the Verkhovna Rada of the current convocation Yuri Miroshnychenko considers that the combination of Mykola Azarov’s powers as an acting Prime Minister and a deputy is possible as long as another person is appointed on the post of Prime Minister.

Thus, answering a question whether there is a legal conflict in combining the duties of a Prime Minister and a deputy, Miroshnychenko said: "There is a general declared principle, including a principle of uninterrupted power written in the Constitution. Therefore, it is completely normal, when he fulfils his duties till the moment another person is appointed."
