KYIV. March 1 (Interfax) - Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych has promised to consider the possibility of pardoning Ukraine's former interior minister Yury Lutsenko if the Higher Specialized Court declines his cassation appeal.
"If the court doesn't release him [Lutsenko], I will consider pardoning him. Then it will be my turn," Yanukovych told a final press conference in Kyiv on Friday.
