13 June 2007 15:37 (UTC +04:00)

â€œAzerbaijan-Georgia relations are on the level of firm, constructive and strategic cooperation. If somebody appeals to somewhere, it should not be regarded as Georgiaâ€™s position,â€ head of Azerbaijani delegation to Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly Samad Seyidov told the APA. Commenting on Georgian Labor Partyâ€™s appeal to the Council of Europe on establishing a special commission on the state of Georgians living in Azerbaijan, Samad Seyidov said that hundreds of different appeals on Azerbaijan were sent to the Council of Europe.
â€œAre all of them true? Appeal and a stateâ€™s position differ from each other. If somebody appeals, this is his own business. There are forces, who want to damage Azerbaijan-Georgia relations, but these relations are firm, they have historical, cultural and economic basis. These efforts can not damage our relations,â€ he said.
Mr. Seyidov said that they always cooperate with Georgian delegation to PACE and it will continue.
â€œWe always support each other. We make joint initiatives and we have still much to do about it,â€ he said. /APA/
