Georgian media reports that spokesperson of the US Department of State, Victoria Nuland, has made first official comments regarding the parliamentary elections in Georgia, saying it was a very important day for the country.
Nuland emphasized the meaning of large-scale international monitoring of the polls.
“It’s obviously a very important day for Georgia. Our understanding from our preliminary reporting is that the turnout at the polls was very strong today. We’ve been looking for a democratic election that is free, fair, and transparent. Our understanding is that the Central Election Commission is going to try to tabulate the results overnight, and that we’ll have some announcements in the morning, local time. We’ll see about that” said Nuland
