Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze has welcomed the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process.

“We would like to once again welcome the ongoing peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan,” Kobakhidze said during a meeting with Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev, who is on a state visit to Georgia.

“Georgia firmly supports peaceful coexistence, constructive cooperation, and new initiatives in the region. If necessary, we are ready to make a positive contribution to the development of these relations. We are prepared to promote dialogue and the peace process,” Kobakhidze added.

He further noted that cooperation among the South Caucasus countries creates new prospects for the entire region. “We are witnessing global political changes, and these changes further strengthen the importance of the Middle Corridor, including the Black Sea and the South Caucasus, as a strategic area,” the Georgian prime minister said.
