Kyiv, April 12 (Interfax-Ukraine) - Ukrainian MP Inna Bohoslovska, who chairs a provisional parliamentary investigative commission probing the signing of gas agreements between Naftogaz Ukrainy and Gazprom during the premiership of Yulia Tymoshenko, has said she hopes talks will be held with Russia to change the terms of agreements dated January 19, 2009.

"All of the documents indicate that this [the signing of gas agreements] was illegal, and we will demand that parliament hold new talks with Russia to change the terms of the gas contracts," she said at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine in Kyiv on Monday.

She also noted that Article 8 of the contract on gas sale and purchase in 2009-2019 between Naftogaz Ukrainy and Gazprom includes the possibility of revising the terms of agreements at the Stockholm Arbitration Tribunal.
