ArmInfo. I know that now the position of both leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia is that they want  to deal with each other on a bilateral level, Georgia's Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili stated at the panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Georgian First Channel reports.

"We have a very close relationship and partnership with Azerbaijan  and Armenia, with both countries. They are brothers. They are  friends, said Garibashvili, as quoted by the Georgian First Channel.

The Georgian prime minister recalled that two years ago he attempted  mediation and facilitation.

" I did try two years ago to mediate or facilitate. We successfully  did the first mediation when Azerbaijan released the detainees, and  Armenia gave the maps for the mined territories to Azerbaijan. This  was a successful attempt, but it's a very complex situation. We  understand there are many players in this region, and what I want to  add to that is that I know that now the position of both leaders of  Azerbaijan and Armenia is that they want to deal with each other on a  bilateral level.  Personally, I think this is the right way to do  this because with all the stakeholders and all the mediators,  sometimes it becomes more conflicting, you know, and more  counterproductive. Therefore, I wish them all the best. I very much  hope that they will find a solution and they will soon sign the peace  agreement," the Georgian PM added.
