Court ruling on gas issue remains an option - Ukrainian PM

KHMELNYTSKYI. Jan 17 (Interfax) - Ukraine can turn to international arbitration in case of failed talks with Russia on reviewing gas contracts and reducing the gas price, Ukraine's Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said.

"A court ruling remains an option. We are not closing it. If we failed to agree, we will simply have no other opportunity," the prime minister said in an interview with a Khmelnytskyi regional state broadcaster on Tuesday.
