Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili called on Tuesday for an international investigation into the country's election results and international pressure to review results she said were rigged.

Asked by RFI radio about plans for a partial vote recount by the central electoral commission, Zourabichvili said she expected nothing from that commission, which she accused of being biased.

Instead, she called for international pressure to push authorities to review the official announcement of the election's result, and an international probe.
