    Georgia seeks rapprochement with Azerbaijan, Armenia - Saakashvili


    by Vitali Makarchev

    PARIS, March 9 - One of the most important geo-political tasks of the
    Georgian leadership at present is to create a zone of democracy,
    stability and advanced development in the Caucasus region on the
    basis of rapprochement of Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia, President
    Mikhail Saakashvili of Georgia told a news conference here on
    Tuesday.

    He said he had held a meeting with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilkham
    Aliyev to discuss this ambitious project. "In Ilkham Aliyev, I see a
    bright and deep politician," Saakashvili said.

    He indicated that the integration process between Georgia and
    Azerbaijan would be intensified. He said, "We believe that Armenia
    will join us at a certain phase."

    Along with economic rebirth, Saakashvili sees consolidation of
    democracy in the Caucasus as one of the chief aims of rapprochement,
    which, in turn, will tell positively on the on the Middle and Near
    East.
