What Georgia needs, is a calm, peaceful environment and no more political instability or violence - Kelly Degnan

Hope, there will be a peaceful environment for people to come to the polls and express their opinion, said today the Ambassador of US to Georgia.

“I think we can all agree that what Georgia needs, is a calm, peaceful environment and no more political instability or violence. That is what we should all be trying to contribute to. And I hope that this is what we are going to see tomorrow and in the days after the election.

I was very pleased to see very high numbers for turnout in recent polls. It"s great to see that Georgians want to come out and vote. These are important elections. I hope there will be a calm, peaceful environment for voters to cast their votes tomorrow. That’s very important. We’re quite concerned about the reports of significant intimidation, harassment and violence in the pre-election period.

I think Georgian voters need to see that each election shows improvement. They deserve that and it’s a sign of the commitment to democratic progress. So I hope that is what we"re going to see in the coming days”, - said Kelly Degnan.
