If the State Department confirms that these elections were indeed fraudulent and did not reflect the will of the Georgian people, they should make a clear statement about it, the US Helsinki Commission has announced.
The Helsinki Commission responds to President Salome Zourabichvili's statements made today.
"President Zourabichvili expressed serious concerns regarding the legality of this weekend's elections in Georgia. Both before and on election day, there were credible reports of intimidation and harassment of voters and civil society, and violations of voter privacy.
If the State Department confirms that these elections were indeed fraudulent and did not reflect the will of the Georgian people, they should make a clear statement about this," the statement said.
The President of Georgia, Salome Zourabichvili, states that the October 26 parliamentary elections in Georgia were "totally falsified", therefore, the President does not recognize the elections. In his opinion, recognition of these elections "is recognition of Russia's entry". However, Presidentet notes that technology was used in parliamentary elections to "whitewash fraud".
"We were witnesses and victims of the Russian special operation, one of the new forms of hybrid war, which was carried out on the people," - President Zourabichvili. The President and the opposition parties call on the public to come to Rustaveli Avenue on October 28, while the President appeals to her partners to stand by the people of Georgia.
