The investigative agency conducts a search in the office of Iveri Melashvili, the former member of the Georgian-Azerbaijani commission on delimitation and demarcation. Melashvili told the Georgian Public Broadcaster.

“A search is underway in my office, they don’t tell me what they are looking for” – Melashvili said.

Iveri Melashvili was a member of the commission on delimitation and demarcation of the Georgian-Azerbaijani border in 2006-2017. He currently works in the Department of Neighboring Countries of the Georgian Foreign Ministry.

The Prosecutor’s Office announced that the investigation has been launched according to information provided by Georgian Defence Ministry on August 17, 2020, regarding the activities of the Georgian governmental commission working on the demarcation of the Georgian border with Azerbaijan.

On September 24, 2020, Georgian Foreign Minister David Zalkaliani stated that Georgia found new map materials that likely trigger changes to the Georgian-Azerbaijani 2006-2007 agreement on border issues which was made under the UNM government.
