Georgian media reports that the United States congratulated the citizens of Georgia on their peaceful and active participation in yesterday’s parliamentary elections. This was an historic day for all Georgians and for Georgia’s democratic future, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in her statement.
“We support the OSCE/ODIHR election observation mission and its assessment that the Georgian people have freely expressed their will at the ballot box. And we urge the authorities to conduct the final count and appeals transparently and in accordance with the rule of law,” the statement posted on U.S. State Department’s official website says.
