The Georgian authorities are considering possibilities of developing military cooperation with Turkey and Azerbaijan, Georgia Online reported, citing the country’s minister of defense.
“We now have a trilateral relationship format, and we intend to expand it for conducting new joint military drills,” said Irakli Alasania.
The Georgian official noted that they had earlier organized exercises for command headquarters, adding that the upcoming event will be intended for battalions.
“Negotiations are now under way, with no planning going on. But the prospects are positive,” Alasania said.
In the meantime, the minister did not rule out the possibility of regional allies and the United States’ participation in the training.
The previous drills conducted in a trilateral format were aimed at ensuring the security of oil pipelines.
