Statement of Government's Press Office

Press secretary of the Prime Minister of Ukraine Vitaly Lukyanenko categorically denies the information published by certain media that Mykola Azarov has citizenship of Austria.

"Information about an Austrian passport of Mykola Azarov, as well as, the rumors that he has property and assets in the country are far from the truth," - Vitaly Lukyanenko declared.

Moreover, Mykola Azarov requires Rebecca Harms, to whom the media refers, to give evidence or refute the rumors and apologize for spreading the false information. Otherwise, he will file the claim to the appropriate judicial authorities.
