Georgia's pro-European president Salome Zurabishvili in an interview with AFP Monday alleged that parliamentary polls -- whose results have been rejected by the opposition -- were marred by widespread voting fraud bearing the hallmarks of Russia's influence.
According to near-final results announced by the electoral commission, the ruling party Georgian Dream won 53.92 percent of the vote in Saturday's election, compared with 37.78 percent won by a union of pro-Western opposition alliances.
