PSP leader Jumblatt: The world must learn from Syrian presidential elections “art of democracy”
Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt criticized on Thursday the presidential elections that took place in Syria, noting that the regime's violent crackdown against the people and the international community's disappointing stances towards the Syrian people.

“The regime could have achieved better results in the diverse, transparent, and democratic elections, had the killed people, which exceeded 200,000, and displaced, who exceeded eight million, been able to cast their votes,” he said sarcastically.

“The world must learn the art of elections, voting, the counting of ballots” from the Syrian presidential elections, concluded Jumblatt.

 Assad won Tuesday's election with nearly 89 percent support, according to officials, triggering celebrations in some government-controlled parts of Syria where voting took place.
   
Authorities said 73 percent of eligible Syrians cast their votes - a remarkably high figure in a country devastated by a conflict which drove 3 million people to flee abroad - dipping their finger in permanent ink to show they had taken part.
