Boden: OSCE confirms rough falsifications at Georgian election

German diplomat Dieter Boden, head of the OSCE observation mission, has confirmed the facts of roughest violations and falsifications at the election in Georgia, having declared that the Electoral Commission of Georgia is dominated by "chaos".

Mr Boden has stated, as quoted by the Frankfurter Rundschau, that "the rough violations, negligence and facts of deliberate falsifications at tabulating votes at the election in Georgia," as reported by the OSCE observers, had indeed taken place.

As he noted, the Electoral Commission itself is disrupted with "chaos".

We remind you that the "Caucasian Knot" has already reported, with reference to the IA "News-Georgia" that Mr Boden had stated earlier that he found it necessary to study the violations that resulted in the incident on Tuesday, January 8, when Levan Gachechiladze, candidate for President from the United Opposition, and his close supporters from among the leaders of the opposition entered the office of Levan Tarkhnishvili, Chair of the Georgian CEC, and demanded to immediately react to facts of violations.

Dieter Boden has also noted that the information of the Georgian opposition about the violations during the early presidential election in Georgia will not change the already presented conclusion of international observers.

Earlier, the opposition in Georgia, which considers the outcomes of the presidential election on January 5 to be garbled and demands free access to live television, and which has announced the start of a hunger strike, postponed the action by 24 hours.
