During his recent visit to Türkiye, Georgian President Mikheil Kavelashvili emphasized the strategic importance and growing strength of regional cooperation, underpinned by political stability and shared values.
“Our discussions touched on a wide range of economic and political matters, as well as the importance of preserving family values,” he said. “The strong relationship between Türkiye and Georgia is a great source of motivation for me, and I’m committed to ensuring it continues to grow.”
President Kavelashvili highlighted that the broader region holds exceptional promise: “Everyone can clearly see the vast potential of our region. Political stability leads to economic power and public well-being. This progress has been achieved through policies rooted in national interest and principle. I also welcome the idea of Armenia gradually joining this regional format.”
He went on to challenge the conventional notion of regional rivalry: “Contrary to the idea that you should weaken your competitors, we believe it is in everyone’s best interest for neighboring countries to be strong. This was a central theme in our dialogue—it was a sincere and open conversation that gives me hope our cooperation will deepen further.”
According to Kavelashvili, Georgia and Türkiye are united by their commitment to peace, traditional values, and mutual trust. “We have jointly protected peace, national interests, and the institution of the family. Our Turkish counterparts share these principles. That gives me confidence that we will see long-term peace and stability in the region,” he said.
He sent a clear message to international partners and observers: “Whether you’re a strategic ally, a friend, or even a skeptic—understand this: conflict in this region is not an option. There is deep trust among our nations.”
