We also shared our views on regional issues. Turkey sees Georgia as the key to regional cooperation. We believe that we can carry out various works that will strengthen and increase the importance and peace of our region, - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at a joint news conference with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili.

According to him, trilateral cooperation with Azerbaijan is very important in this regard.

"In this context, trilateral cooperation with Azerbaijan is very important. We, Turkey, support all trilateral cooperation, be it Georgia-Azerbaijan-Armenia or Georgia-Azerbaijan-Turkey. We also decided to hold a meeting of the supreme strategic council as soon as possible this year and instructed the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Georgia and Turkey to work on the date of the meeting. Using existing mechanisms, we continue to take firm steps. With this in mind, I hope and believe that our views and the meeting will contribute to and develop the relationship between us", - said Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
