双语新闻：乌克兰议会废除反抗议法 Ukraine Parliament Repeals Anti-Protest Laws

乌克兰议会废除了一系列限制公开抗议的有争议的法律，同时，乌克兰总理阿扎罗夫递交辞呈，政府方面说，这是为了鼓励政治妥协。

乌克兰政府网站星期二宣布了总理辞职的消息，并公布了阿扎罗夫的声明。声明说，他希望鼓励“社会-政治妥协”。乌克兰的抗议活动已经持续了两个月，并在近期发展为示威者和警察之间的暴力冲突。

阿扎罗夫说，他希望他的辞职将为和平解决国家的政治危机创造机会。他的辞职尚需得到总统亚努科维奇的批准。

几个小时后，议会批准废除反抗议法。这些法律在基辅和其它地方激起了一些反政府暴力抗议活动。不过，总统亚努科维奇说，只有在活动人士拆除路障并离开街头之后，他才能对几十名示威期间被捕的抗议者实行大赦。

Ukraine's parliament has repealed a controversial set of laws restricting public protests, while Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has offered his resignation in what the government says is an effort to encourage political compromise.

Ukraine's government website announced the news of the resignation Tuesday, publishing a statement by Mr. Azarov that says he wants to encourage "social-political compromise," after two months of protests that have recently culminated with violent clashes between demonstrators and police.

He said he hoped his resignation, which still must be accepted by President Viktor Yanukovych, will create an opportunity for the peaceful settlement of the country's political crisis.

Hours later, parliament approved the repeal of the anti-protest laws, which had sparked some violent anti-government protests in Kyiv and elsewhere. But President Yanukovych said amnesty for dozens of protesters arrested at the demonstrations will only be implemented if activists take down their barricades and leave the streets.
