Georgian PM offers mediation to Azerbaijan and Armenia
“We offer mediation to our brotherly states, the Azerbaijani and Armenian brothers,” said Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili on Monday, noting a dialogue platform is planned to be established in Tbilisi.
“We set a really rare precedent in June when our country successfully conducted a peacekeeping operation through mediation, the release of 15 detained Armenian soldiers through negotiations and mediation, as well as handing over maps of the mined territories by Armenia to Azerbaijan. There has not been a similar precedent for 30 years when Georgia mediated between two countries, our neighbors, and we were able to do it successfully,” said Garibashvili, as quoted by Georgia Today.
The Prime Minister noted that his initiative is connected with the continuation of this process at a higher level, adding that he is offering this mediation platform to the Azerbaijani and Armenian, which is planned to be established in Tbilisi.
