Talks with Aeroflot on Alitalia acquisition could be resumed

ROME, April 17 (RIA Novosti) - Italy's prime minister-elect Silvio Berlusconi is not ruling out that talks with Russian air carrier Aeroflot to buy state-run Alitalia, stalled in November, could be resumed.

"All options are being considered as long as Alitalia remains the national air carrier, and decisions are made in Italy," Berlusconi told journalists shortly before a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sardinia.
