    Civil Georgia, Tbilisi / 9 Jun.'12 / 17:39


    Foreign Ministers from Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey met on June 8 in
    Trabzon on Turkey's Black Sea coast and pledged to further boost `already
    existing successful cooperation' between the two countries.

    Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet DavutoÄ=9Flu and his counterparts from
    Azerbaijan and Georgia, Elmar Mammadyarov and Grigol Vashadze,
    respectively, agreed to hold trilateral foreign ministerial meetings on the
    regular basis.

    The meeting resulted into a Trabzon Declaration, which outlines priority
    areas of cooperation between the three countries ranging from mutual
    support in international organizations to joint energy and transpiration
    projects.

    Georgian Foreign Minister, Grigol Vashadze, said that this format of
    cooperation between the three countries `is not directed against anyone.'

    `All the issues that are important for us are reflected in this
    declaration, including, of course, respect towards territorial integrity
    and sovereignty. This format is not directed against anyone; this is
    directed towards protection of our countries national interests and towards
    further deepening of our strategic relations,' Vashadze said.

    The declaration says that `protracted conflicts emanating from existing
    occupations are the main obstacle to peace and stability in the South
    Caucasus.'

    It says that the three countries agree to `promote further development of
    their relations in every field, especially in the field of trade, energy,
    transport, finance and banking, environment by means of joint projects and
    cooperation plans and if needed through trilateral cooperation mechanisms.'

    The foreign ministers agreed to hold second trilateral meeting in Georgia
    in the second half of this year and then in Azerbaijan in the first half of
    2013.

    Meanwhile in the city of Kars in eastern Turkey a second trilateral
    Turkish-Azerbaijani-Georgian Business Forum is held on June 9.
