"The parliamentary elections have been held just recently. By the way, not only international observers qualify them as democratic, but Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe representatives as well. Of course, we are concerned over the events that enfolded there after the vote. We hope everything will be settled peacefully, we hope for the restoration of a normal democratic political process, and I will say once again this should happen as soon as possible," Putin said in an interview with Russia-24 broadcaster.
