GEORGIAN PARLIAMENTARY DELEGATION MEETS MEMBERS OF AZERBAIJAN-GEORGIA

Baku, 23 February (AzerTAc). Visiting vice-speaker of the Georgian parliament Pridon Todua and his accompanying delegation met Monday with members of the Azerbaijan-Georgia inter-parliamentary friendship group.

Head of the friendship group Ganira Pashayeva said friendly relations between
Azerbaijan and Georgia expanded even more after national leader Heydar Aliyev came
to power in 1993. She noted that major projects such as the Baku-Supsa and
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan were realized thanks to the national leader`s efforts.
According to Pashayeva, President Ilham Aliyev, who has successfully been continuing
national leader`s policy, attaches special importance to boosting relations with
Georgia. “Construction of the Baku -Tbilisi- Kars-Akhalkalaki railway is a vivid
evidence of this,” she added.
Pridon Todua, in turn, said his country lays special emphasis on developing friendly
relations with Azerbaijan.
The sides also exchanged views on the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over
Nagorno-Karabakh, cooperation within international organizations, solution of
problems of Azerbaijanis living in Georgia and Georgians living in Azerbaijan.
