The head of the regional party branch Borys Zahreva commented on the negotiation process between the leadership of the URP Sobor and the UNP as follows: We see no great ideological differences between the URP Sobor party, which is to a greater extent a party of a right-centrist orientation, and the Ukrainian People's Party that could harm us in forming a bloc for the 2006 parliamentary elections. As became known from the words of the press secretary of the Volyn regional organization of the Ukrainian People's Party, Yuliia Tymoshchuk, its leader confirmed the position recorded by the UNP congress on February 26, 2005, that the party is working on creating a single bloc of national-democratic forces, in particular for joint participation in the 2006 elections, and the invariability of the fact that in the context of forming the Ukrainian right, the UNP considers URP Sobor as one of the possible partners. The people's deputy also reported that in addition to the URP Sobor party, the People's Movement of Ukraine and a number of other political forces professing right-centrist ideology have been invited to participate in forming the right bloc. It is precisely the formation of the Ukrainian right that would make it possible in perspective to create from these parties a single political force that could worthily represent our voters in parliament, the people's deputy is convinced.
