At today's parliamentary session, Speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn read out six parliamentary inquiries to various institutions, reports a proUA correspondent. \n \nIn particular, People's Deputy Mykola Tomenko addressed Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych with a parliamentary inquiry regarding the payment of monetary awards to athletes who received medals at the Olympic Games in Athens (Greece). Tomenko asks whether the promised award has been paid to Ukrainian athletes in the declared amounts. If the award has not been paid, the People's Deputy requests an answer as to when the athletes will receive it. In the inquiry, Tomenko notes that he knows from the mass media that the bonuses have not yet been paid due to a shortage of funds in the State Committee for Physical Culture and Sports and the National Olympic Committee. He also claims that receiving this bonus depends on the athlete's agreement to support Yanukovych's candidacy in the presidential election. \n \nVerkhovna Rada Deputy from the faction of the bloc of parties "Our Ukraine" Volodymyr Yavorivsky accuses President Leonid Kuchma of intending to withdraw the Ukrainian naval fleet from the base in Sevastopol (Crimea). This was announced by Verkhovna Rada Chairman Volodymyr Lytvyn, having read out Yavorivsky's corresponding parliamentary inquiry. Yavorivsky considers such an intention by Kuchma to be a betrayal of national interests. \n \n
