There are issues that we did not insure in advance, perhaps we were overconfident, this was also a created situation and we should not allow all of this anymore, - the President of Georgia, Salome Zurabishvili, stated this at a public meeting with monitoring organizations: "My Voice" Coalition, GYLA and Fair Elections.

Zurabishvili thanked the observers and noted that their experience will be very important in the next elections.

"I want to thank you all for what you have done for your future, for your country, because actually, you were on the front line in a very unfair battle and you were the army that protected our voices.

I would say that new evidence is not really necessary because we know, we have seen and we are all convinced that the most important principles were violated in this election and the election did not take place, but at the same time the very first evidence that is yours is very important personal experience.

If you look around the room today, you will see that in so many different forms, so many different experiences are what form the basis of all the evidence we have from day one. You are the living witnesses who will not go anywhere and who will remain as the most important evidence. Your experience will not be lost anywhere, because there will be new elections, when and how, we cannot say, but there will be elections, because these elections did not take place and no one will accept it, therefore, your fight tomorrow will be even more important. You are the people who will best protect our votes in the elections because you will have this experience, you already know what to pay attention to, although there will probably be more changes, but there are still some things that we did not insure in advance, maybe we were overconfident and this was also a created situation and we should not allow it anymore, everything needs its own experience and your experience is really invaluable.

I want to once again thank you all on my behalf, while I have a few more Fridays, but on my behalf also means on behalf of the society and the country", said the President.
