The Georgian Defense Ministry confirmed the information about the participation of Georgian Defense Minister Juansher Burchuladze in a joint Azerbaijani-Turkish-Georgian meeting with their counterparts from Turkey and Azerbaijan - Hulusi Akar and Colonel-General Zakir Hasanov.
Also, the subject of discussion of the heads of defense departments was the diversification of energy resources, which will allow developing the energy security of countries. During bilateral talks between the Georgian defense minister and his Azerbaijani counterpart, both reaffirmed the importance of supporting and respecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the two countries.
At the same time, Burchuladze, Akar and Gasanov's discussion of military cooperation between states did not go unnoticed. The Georgian Minister of Defense noted the importance of continuing joint military exercises, which, according to him, help to further unite the three countries.
