Published in News Digest

By empty (10/6/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)

Armenian Aram Vardanyan was elected in the municipal elections at the Tsukhrut village of Akhaltsikhi region of Georgia where Georgian Naira Samsonidze was alternative candidate. Vardanyan received 650 votes, whereas Samsonidze – about 120, A-Info agency reports. According to a source, the victory of the Armenian candidate is especially meaningful, since the Georgian candidate was supported not only by Georgian voters but also by representative of the ruling Georgian party United National Movement Aram Pogosov, who reportedly used his connections.
