When the Georgian people take part in the election and their votes would be properly counted and verified by the authorities and observer groups, we will call upon all political forces to respect the outcome, put the tensions aside and work together in peace, in order to support the country.
We support Georgian people who are against Russia, which wants to destroy the hardly-purchased democracy in Georgia”-was written in the appeal.
