"We expect that in 2010 we'll stabilize the situation in the country. 2010 will be a year of stabilization," he said speaking in the parliament after President Viktor Yanukovych nominated him to the premier post.

Azarov said that Ukraine should be ready for a possible resurgence of the crisis. Referring to experts, he said that a second wave was expected in 2012.

The politician said that 2012 would be a turning point for reform in Ukraine. He said that reforms should be well prepared.

"We'll realize [reforms] when the country is ready for their realization," he said.

He said that if the premier does not take bribes, it would be easy to fight corruption.
