/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Within the framework of talks on delimitation
and demarcation of borders with Azerbaijan the Georgian side
is ready for exchange of nearborder territories, said Georgian
Deputy FM Georgy Mangajaladze. Tbilisi is interested in return of
David-Gareji, a Georgian architectural complex a part of which has
been on Azerbaijan's territory since the soviet period. Some 20 cave
monasteries of David-Gareji situated 60 km southeast from the Georgian
capital city was founded in early 6th century. Frescoes with portraits
of historical figures have been preserved in them for 8-14 ages.
Georgian sources do no announce which territories can be given in
exchange for David-Gareji. According to Georgy Mangajaladze, the
state committees achieved agreement on 300 km out of 460 km of the
border. At the same time he remarked that it's premature to speak of
the terms of signing an agreement of delimitation and demarcation of
borders yet, reported Lenta.ru.
