President Erdogan: Türkiye, Georgia to work 'shoulder to shoulder' for regional cooperation, peace

Türkiye and Georgia will continue to work "shoulder to shoulder" for regional cooperation, peace, and development, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday at a joint press conference with his Georgian counterpart Mikheil Kavelashvili.


Erdogan stressed the strategic importance of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars Railway, calling it “the backbone of the Middle Corridor,” and noted its significance as it begins operating at full capacity.

Erdogan stressed that the bilateral trade volume has surpassed $3 billion in recent years, adding: “We are steadily moving toward our new goal of $5 billion.”

President Erdogan also expressed hope that their strategic partnership would deepen further with public backing.
