DPR: It will take time to fulfill Minsk memorandum
MOSCOW. Sept 22 (Interfax) - It is realistic to expect that the Minsk memorandum can be fulfilled but it will take a long time, the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) administration believes.
"The memorandum contains plenty of solutions in various fields, from the unblocking of motorways to demining operations and the withdrawal of military units and hardware. It is realistic to do so. The question is how long it may take," DPR First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Purgin told Interfax on Monday.
A significant number of technicalities will have to be coordinated in order to implement the memorandum, he said.
"Before a new meeting is held in Minsk, it will be necessary to agree on technicalities of the fulfillment of the coordinated provisions and to start doing so. There are lots of technicalities to be coordinated in Skype conferences for putting into practice every provision of this memorandum. We are ready to do so but most importantly this work must not be hindered by anyone," Purgin said.
