The Georgian Foreign Ministry has dismissed the information spread by Azerbaijani media outlets on the transportation of mortars from Serbia to Armenia via Georgia.
The ministry told the IPN news agency earlier today that it is false information which attempts to overshadow long and friendly ties between Georgia and Azerbaijan.
Georgia and Azerbaijan have a deep and developing strategic partnership and there are long-time friendly relations between our people. Both countries play an important role in the region and we carry out a number of joint projects of regional and global importance.This is biased information and is aimed at artificially creating problems on relations between the two strategic partners,” says the Georgian Foreign Ministry.
Georgia is concerned by the recent tension between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Regional peace and stability was the principal subject of a meeting between President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili and Armenia's visiting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Tbilisi on Tuesday.
Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Gakharia has congratulated Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on the New Azerbaijan Party’s win in snap parliamentary elections yesterday, Azerbaijani media reports.
Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili has met with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at the Zagulba Presidential Palace in Baku today on her first regional trip as president. Zurabishvili stated that the two countries started a new, independent life together after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The Georgian government says that recently published information by Azerbaijani media outlets alleging that mortars were transported and military vehicles may enter Armenia via Georgia is false.
Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili has expressed concern over the 12-13 July armed confrontation on the border of neighbouring states Azerbaijan and Armenia, with both sides using artillery, mortar, and tanks in the northern area of their borders.
