“I asked them to put off the strike until June 1 or May 1. I promised to take part in the negotiations, as they’ve asked me to. They believe that [with me present] negotiators prepare more responsibly and thoroughly and talks are more constructive,” the prime minister told journalists after speaking with teachers’ representatives for about one hour.
