YANGON, Myanmar, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- Aung San Suu Kyi, leader of the democratic opposition in Myanmar, says she is prepared to compromise with the military junta.
In a telephone interview with the Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun, Suu Kyi said Wednesday the ruling military leaders appear to realize the country needs to change, or at least needs the appearance of change. She said she has learned in the 10 days since she was freed from confinement at her home in Yangon, formerly Rangoon, that people "are absolutely reaching for change."
