SPS Attacks on YABLOKO attributed to Election Campaign

Moscow, November 13, 2003. (RIA Novosti). The YABLOKO party is ready for further cooperation with the Union of Right-Wing Forces (SPS), deputy chairman of the YABLOKO faction in the State Duma Sergei Ivanenko said, commenting on the statement by SPS leader Anatoly Chubais.

"We shall continue cooperating with the SPS, for instance, we have appointed single-mandate candidates and engaged in active cooperation in the State Duma of this convocation and hope to continue it in the next State Duma," the deputy said.

However, some SPS members conduct an information war against YABLOKO, he noted. "YABLOKO associates all statements regarding ultimatums with the election campaign," Ivanenko concluded.

Earlier on Thursday SPS co-chairman Anatoly Chubais said that the Union of Right-Wing Forces would seek to unify all Russia's democratic forces without YABLOKO and its leader Grigory Yavlinsky.

According to Chubais, Yavlinsky did not answer his proposal "to give up personal ambitions and start unifying democratic forces".

Chubais considers it a refusal.
