To the extent possible, Georgia is ready to play its role in ensuring peace in the region. Irakli Kobakhidze, the chairman of Georgia’s ruling Georgian Dream party, stated this commenting on the escalation of the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

"The most important thing for us is ensuring peace in the region. If Georgia and the Georgian authorities can play a certain role in this matter, of course, we are ready in every way. Of course, the main task for everyone should be the cessation of the conflict. We have talked about this in connection with the issue of Ukraine, and of course it is more sensitive for us when it comes to two neighboring and friendly countries. In this regard, if we can do something, of course, we will do everything," Kobakhidze said, reports Novosti-Georgia.
