A resolution on former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko was adopted at the second plenary session of the Euronest PA, held in Baku.

Resolution's author Ukrainian MP Tarasyuk said that Yulia Tymoshenko and other opposition politicians should be released. The relevant Ukrainian authorities should create conditions for their treatment.

"The resolution should not be limited to Tymoshenko and human dimension, but to all political prisoners," he added.

During discussions, MPs of several other countries noted they are not well informed on this subject and will adhere to the neutral position.

The resolution was adopted by 40 votes for, two - against, while 17 abstained.
