You say that because peace has been established between Armenia and Azerbaijan and trade, movement and transit will be possible between them, Georgia has lost its function?! - Georgia is not losing any function! - We must leave this ideology in the past! - Irakli Kadagishvili, the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Self-Government, told journalists.

According to him, the peace established between Armenia and Azerbaijan will allow the South Caucasus to become a strong development region.

“The 35-year war between Armenia and Azerbaijan has ended. Peace, of course, has opened up trade, logistics, and transportation.

The fact that Georgia was and remains a partner in this logistical chain, not only in relation to Azerbaijan and Armenia, but also in the entire corridor, this person noted in his speech. Among them, he also noted the contribution that Azerbaijan, including Turkey, is making in this direction. Of course, everything was taken out of context and they said that now Georgia has been destroyed, will collapse, nothing will happen here anymore. These people who make these comments and then those media outlets who propagate this have been predicting the collapse of Georgia for years, but we see that if any economy is growing in the world, it is our economy. They need a certain portion of poison every day so that this poison is spread around Georgia. And this is also part of it...

Georgia is not losing any function. The peace that has been established in the South Caucasus will allow the South Caucasus to become a strong development region. Look for the positive in peace and do not look for the positive in war. So, you are saying that because there was a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan and there was no economic connection, this determined Georgia's function in terms of transit?! Because peace was established and there will be trade, movement and transit between them, Georgia has lost its function?! This ideology must be left to the past. Georgia cannot be viewed and propagated in such a negative context in all circles," Kadagishvili said.

As a reminder, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev stated at a panel session held within the framework of the World Economic Forum in Davos that they had received a request from the Armenian side regarding the possibility of transit from Armenia to Russia.

According to him, currently transportation is carried out through Georgia, however, the time is not far off when transit will take place directly from Armenia through Azerbaijan.
