    "I agree with international expert's estimations about Georgian
    presidential elections. I myself visited some electoral centers
    and I can say that this was for the first time Georgia passes such
    free and transparent elections," said Van Baiburtyan, the deputy
    of Georgian Parliament and the vice president of Armenian union
    in Georgia. According to him the election results showed that the
    competition among the candidates was fair and real. "It was 17:00
    when the first results showed that Sahakashvili collected 52.4,
    Gachechiladze - 25.9 and Patarkatsishvili - 7 percent," he said.

    To the question whether it is fair to hold second stage of the
    elections as the opposition insists on, Baiburtyan answered "The
    opposition still cries out that they won. It is interesting, but
    20 or even 40 days before the elections they announced that their
    candidate was also elected. Today, some say that the second stage is
    necessary; some insist that their candidate won, and some say they
    are sure Sahakashvili did not get so high percentage of votes. But it
    is impossible to steal 35% of votes as Gachechiladze announced. They
    can steal 1 or 2 percents and not 35% totally. Generally all the six
    candidates together collected 30-35%."

    As for Djavakhk and other neighbor regions Baiburtyan said
    "Sahakashvili got higher results from Djavakhk but not the highest,
    as in 2003 he received 95% from Akhalkalak and 96% from Ninocmindai,
    whereas this time the results were as followed 90.9 and 92%. The
    results were the same in the neighbor regions."

    Van Baiburtyan assured that this candidate is of great use for
    Armenians living in Georgia. He also said that street meetings will
    continue as the opposite parties do not adjust to the new conditions.
