The United States is calling for an investigation into election-related violations following Saturday’s parliamentary election in the former Soviet republic of Georgia.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement on Sunday that international and local observers believe “Election Day was generally well administered.” But he noted there were reports of “irregularities and sporadic violence.”
Blinken said the United States condemns “all contraventions of international norms” and joins the European Union and other observers in calling for a full investigation of reports of election-related violations.
