11:23
Rinat Akhmetov, an MP from the Regions Party, has said that ideals and values for which the people fought in 2004 won at the presidential election in 2010.
"We had a fair and democratic independent election. The entire world recognized it, and international observers confirmed its results. That's why the ideals of the orange revolution won. As what did the people want? They wanted an opportunity to elect the president fairly and democratically. They came to the Maidan [Independence Square in Kyiv] to [protect] this, their rights and freedom," he told journalists on Thursday, the press service of the Regions Party reported.
Akhmetov said that in this context the defeated side should recognize its defeat.
"I say that we should have political culture. The loser should extend a hand to the winner," he added.
