While speaking to the media on the sidelines of the first session of the inaugural summit of the European Political Community in Prague, the official stressed “Georgia is an outstanding contributor to strengthening of energy security, and in today's deteriorating energy security conditions, it has acquired an even greater and more important role”. 

"When we talk about energy carriers, Georgia already has the role of an important regional player. We have been playing a special role in our region for years.

Tbilisi is ready at any time to host Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders for a calm and peaceful dialogue to ensure regional stability amid tensions periodically flaring up between the latter over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region.

This is an ongoing process and one of the key priorities for the Georgian government. Through the active involvement of prime minister Irakli Gharibashvili, [Armenia and Azerbaijan] have already come to concrete results. The recent meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers in Tbilisi points to the special trust Georgia enjoys among its friends”, said Darchiashvili.
