/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The impression that the preterm elections in Georgia
will turn into a naked farce is corroborated, says a comment issued
by the department of information and press at the Russian Foreign
Ministry.
"Mikhael Saakashvili’s recent statements came as start of his election
campaign despite demands of the international community to lift
the emergency rule and stop persecution of oppositionists… The
date for the elections was fixed in an intention to deprive
the opposition leaders from any possibility to organize a proper
campaign. Furthermore, the authorities staked on low appearance of
the voters which will be conditioned by the New Year and Christmas
holidays," the statement says.
"Undisguised Russophobia becomes the core of the election campaign,"
it says.
