Strasbourg, June 21 (Interfax) - Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko's trial will be finished very quickly and will be open, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych said.

"These proceedings will be wrapped up very quickly," Yanukovych told journalists in Strasbourg on Tuesday.

"We are amid the proceedings. They will be nearing their end soon. The investigation has gathered its case, and the defense has probably prepared its arguments, and I think we will see in open judicial proceedings who is right and who is wrong, and then we can make conclusions," he said.

Earlier Yanukovych also has said that he is the least interested person in having criminal proceedings against Tymoshenko, but the court hearings in the case against her must be open to the public.
