If Armenia agrees, heads of our relevant authorities can hold bilateral, trilateral meetings in Georgia – President Ilham Aliyev

BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 8. If there is
agreement from Armenian side, heads of our relevant authorities can
hold bilateral and trilateral meetings in Georgia, President of
Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said in a joint press statement with Prime
Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili in Tbilisi, Trend reports.

“Today, several countries, as well as some international
organizations, are trying to contribute to the process of
normalization between Armenia and Azerbaijan. We welcome that. If
it is not lop-sided and biased, of course, we welcome any mediation
and assistance. However, in my opinion, taking into account both
historical relations and the geographical factor, the most correct
option in this could certainly be Georgia,” President Ilham Aliyev
said.

Expressing his gratitude to Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili
for offering Georgia’s possible mediation in this matter, the head
of state noted: “I think we should expect the same approach from
Armenia as a country that is ready for this. If there is agreement
from the Armenian side, the heads of our relevant authorities can
immediately come to Georgia for both bilateral and trilateral
meetings.”
