Georgian President Administration: Caucasus Peace Platform idea not a response to any initiative

20:54, 23.12.2020

The Administration of the President of Georgia released a statement about Salome Zourabichvili’s speech at the Ambassadors’ Conference 2020.

The matter concerns the part of Salome Zourabichvili’s speech where the president spoke about the Caucasus Peace Platform. It was reported that tZourabichvili was referring to the initiative of the presidents of Turkey and Azerbaijan, Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Ilkham Aliyev, to create a new format with the participation of six regional countries, including Georgia.

The administration of the Georgian President responded to what they called an unfounded agitation that followed the President’s speech at the Ambassadors’ Conference 2020.

“This speech cannot and should not be perceived as a response to any other initiative because the president repeatedly proposed the Caucasus Peace Platform at a time when the conflict in the region was ongoing. The president constantly emphasizes the historical role of Georgia in the Caucasus, which has always been the unifying engine of the Caucasus,” the presidential administration said in a statement.
