Touching upon the issue of legitimacy of the upcoming parliamentary elections Ivanishvili noted readiness to accept results as they are only in case international observers admit the legitimacy. Commenting on work with international observers Ivanishvili noted “But at the same time I want to explain to our viewers so that not to trigger any nihilism among them. We are working very actively with them [international election observers]; we share common views on every issue and no one should have any illusion that something similar to what has already happened in Georgia will reoccur again and [international observers] will endorse falsified elections; no one will [endorse] falsified elections and no one, first and foremost Saakashvili, should have an illusion about it; no one will undersign results of falsified elections and we will maximally defend the votes,”
Furthermore, in his interview to Georgian Public Broadcaster’s weekly program Accents leader of the “Georgian Dream” noted that it was Saakashvili most interested in post-election disorders.
