Newly appointed Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov has said he is ready to meet with former premier Yulia Tymoshenko.

"As for my meeting with my predecessor, then I'm for such meetings. This is normal civilized practice. If she [Tymoshenko] has enough courage to look in the eyes of the new prime minister of Ukraine, then I will welcome such a meeting and cooperation between the government and the opposition," he told reporters after a plenary meeting of the parliament.
