"This is our initiative. As you know, we set a really rare precedent in June, when our country successfully conducted a peacekeeping operation through mediation, as a result of which 15 detained Armenian soldiers had been released from prison in exchange for maps of 92,000 anti-tank and anti-personnel mines planted during the occupation in the Fizuli and Zangilan regions.

It is my initiative to continue this process at a higher level, and we certainly offer mediation to our brotherly states, the Azerbaijani and Armenian brothers. That’s why the platform for dialogue will be established in Tbilisi in order the peace and neighborhood-based initiative in the South Caucasus to acquire a permanent form and character," - Irakli Gharibashvili said.
