President of Georgia Mikheil Kavelashvili, who is in Baku for a two-day official visit, announced at the joint press conference with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev that Georgia welcomes the recent completion of the negotiation process on all points of the peace agreement between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
“This is undoubtedly a step forward in showcasing and utilizing the region’s potential and opportunities. We hope that soon, a historic agreement will be signed, which will be a crucial impulse for ensuring long-term and sustainable peace in the region.
I would like to emphasize once again Georgia’s declared peace policy and readiness to contribute to ensuring peace in the region. I want to assure you that Georgia has always been an advocate for dialogue, diplomacy, and peaceful coexistence in the South Caucasus, and this course will be maintained in the future.
The special, long-standing friendship between our countries and our common sensible policy has allowed us to correctly define the role of our region. I am confident that our common future includes a successful, economically strong, and prosperous South Caucasus region where our people will be able to live happily together with their own customs and not with imposed pseudo-liberal values.
Unfortunately, in recent times, our countries have repeatedly been subject to double standards and interference in internal affairs by external forces. Despite numerous attempts, we firmly resist these threats and ensure the security and stability of the region. No third country or organization can know better than us what is best for our people,” stated Kavelashvili.
Kavelashvili's official visit to Armenia is expected on April 28-29.
