This is what President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan said during a press conference following talks with Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili, TASS reports.

“We believe we can implement various activities that will help strengthen and increase the importance and peace in our region. Within the scope of the mentioned activities, the trilateral cooperation with Azerbaijan is very important. Turkey supports any trilateral cooperation, be it Georgia-Azerbaijan-Armenia or Georgia-Azerbaijan-Turkey,” Erdogan said.

Erdogan also declared that a decision has been made to set up a supreme strategy council with Georgia as soon as possible.
