ArmInfo.The Georgian side is always ready to promote constructive communication between Armenia and Azerbaijan. As TASS reports, Georgian Foreign Minister Ilya Darchiashvili stated this at a joint press conference with his Azerbaijani counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov, who arrived in Tbilisi on an official visit.
"We have proven more than once, and I want to note again, that Georgia has always been a supporter of peaceful cooperation and cohabitation in the South Caucasus. We are always ready to promote constructive communication between the parties and take concrete steps towards mutually beneficial cooperation," Darchiashvili said.
According to him, at the last meeting the ministers discussed cooperation between the two countries, as well as the trilateral format of Georgia - Azerbaijan - Turkey. The foreign ministers noted the importance of regional energy projects and the significance of the Middle (Trans-Caspian) corridor - a transport route from China through Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkiye to European countries.
Previously, Georgia more than once acted as a mediator in the normalization of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In particular, with the mediation of Georgia, in June 2021, Azerbaijan transferred 15 military personnel to Armenia, and Yerevan sent minefield maps to Baku. Another example of mediation was the meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan Ararat Mirzoyan and Jeyhun Bayramov, which took place in Tbilisi on July 16, 2022. In October 2023, within the framework of the Silk Road Forum in Tbilisi, a trilateral meeting of the prime ministers of Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan took place for the first time.
