Salome Zurabishvili: "Armenian carousel" was used to falsify the elections - it was possible to vote approximately 17 times with one ID card

I accuse the ruling party of using Russian methods, Russian forms, of planning this special operation in a Russian style, - said the President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili in an interview with the Associated Press.

According to her, it was a well-organized, sophisticated style of rigging the election.

"This included violations, including intimidation, pressure on people who depend on public service or are socially vulnerable. "People have used it in the past at different times, but this time it happened by combining it with technology," the President said.

When asked what she meant by the use of technology, Salome Zurabishvili answered:

"Armenian carousel" - we call it "Armenian carousel" here, I don't know if they call it "Georgian carousel" or not - which means that some time before the elections, they started confiscating ID cards from socially vulnerable people, families of prisoners under various pretexts, nobody He understood why they did it. In fact, they were used to vote by the same person. With one ID card and different electronic devices, this was possible about 17 times. They had a large number of ID cards or numbers," the President said.
