The incumbent authorities of Georgia had all the opportunities to
falsify parliamentary election in this country held on 1 October. But
they decided not to fall off the way of European integration. For
this reason, the parliamentary election in Georgia are historical,
president of Yerevan Press Club, Boris Navasardyan, said over today's
discussions with Vice President of German Bundestag, Wolfgang Thierse.
"I am confident that despite the reforms made in Georgia, there are
still instruments in this country with a help of which the election
could be falsified, but the authorities decided not to make such
a step. I think that such a decision was adopted 15 days before
the election, when the wave of protest actions was held in the
country and the authorities decided not to worsen the situation", -
Navasardyan said and added that this has once again become evidence
of availability of political will of Georgian authorities.
By preliminary data based on 15.35% of total votes, the two leaders
in the parliamentary elections in Georgia are Georgian Dream -
52.77% of votes and the ruling party United national Movement -
42.08%. The other parties have not yet overcome the 5% threshold to
the parliament. The elections are especially interesting as after
the presidential election in 2013 in Georgia the political and public
system in the country will change and the parliament and the government
will receive much more powers.
