Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the Global Baku

stage of relations between the two South Caucasus neighbors and
expressed hope that they will continue to strengthen.

different level and hope they will continue to develop in a stable
and peaceful direction,” she said. “Such progress will benefit not
only Azerbaijan and Armenia but also Georgia and the entire
region.”
Burjanadze emphasized that improving ties between Azerbaijan and
Armenia could have far-reaching consequences for regional
cooperation and stability across the South Caucasus.
She noted that the Global Baku Forum, now in its thirteenth

including the evolving situation in Iran and developments in its
surrounding region.
Highlighting the broader geopolitical climate, Burjanadze
stressed that the world urgently needs peace and constructive
dialogue.
“Despite the complexity of the current global situation, it is
essential to find solutions that will allow conflicts to end as
quickly as possible and create a solid foundation for lasting
peace,” she said.
