Georgia's parliamentary elections showed the Georgian people are
dissatisfied with the ruling authorities, expert on Georgia's issues
Jonny Melikyan told the reporters today.
He said during the 7-8 months the opposition managed to consolidate
the majority and show that they are the force able to reach its goal.
"As of the moment the opposition leads in the polls. Georgian
Dream opposition coalition as of the moment has gathered 54 and the
authorities 40 percent of votes. Such results were not expected. The
prison case mixed everything, making people understand that nothing
has changed in the field," he said.
Jonny Melikyan said Javakhk's participation in the elections was
minimal and Armenians were expected to vote for the ruling party
while they voted for the opposition.
"Though the results of the polls were not ready yet, exit poll showed
that Javakhq has voted for the opposition. As of the moment we know
that an Armenian candidate won in Akhalkalak," he said.
The speaker said the elections were not liberal due to distributed
election bribes, people were brought to polling stations on cars but
Bidzina Ivanishvili has won in the elections after conducting a great
lobbying in the West.
"The external forces showed Saakashvili that there are borders neither
of the authorities should cross. The elections showed that the external
influence on Georgia is great and the opposition representatives will
fight till the end," Melikyan said.
