US, UK Welcome Russia's Announcement To Probe Election Fraud

India TV News  

Washington, Dec 13: US and Britain have cautiously welcomed Russia's announcement to launch an investigation into allegations of fraud in Duma elections held on December 4. "The fact that the government has announced that it is willing to investigate allegations of fraud and manipulation associated with the December 4 Duma elections is a good sign and a reassuring position for the Russian people," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said at a joint news conference with her British counterpart William Hague. Earlier in the day, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said the demonstrations that occurred in Moscow and in many other Russian cities last Saturday represent a very positive sign to all those who support the democratic process. "We are encouraged by President Medvedev's commitment to have the central election commission investigate all election violations, and we welcome what appears to be a new era of tolerance for the freedom of assembly," Carney said.
