At a press conference, representatives of the “Patria-Rodina — Ravnopravie” Electoral Bloc have expressed their disapproval with regard to Gagauz CEC refusal to register Valeri Ianioglo as a candidate for the Governor post of Gagauzia. On the ground that national courts are not satisfying their request to turn down the decision of Gagauz CEC, they take on the right to appeal to international justice, situation that would not lead to the international recognition of the elections results as free and fair.
