Party of Regions faction leader Oleksandr Yefremov thinks it's necessary to reach consensus among the politicians before raising the question of holding an all-Ukrainian referendum.

"It seems to me that it's a lie and not a serious question. What is this referendum about?" he told the reporters when commenting on the statement of the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, acting president of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov regarding the possibility of conducting a referendum on the structure of state.

"Before talking about a referendum, one must understand what will be asked, one must reach consensus among the politicians and only then bring it or the public, instead of solving everything by oneself," he said.
