Georgia should show solidarity with Azerbaijan today more than ever,
Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said in an interview with
Georgian television companies in Washington.
Thus, he commented on the decision of the Russian Federation on
terminating transit of Azerbaijani oil through the territory of
Russia.
President Saakashvili stressed that "only Azerbaijan's development can
ensure the development of the entire region as well."
"It is important to support Azerbaijan in this situation, and this
support must be clear and consistent," he said, Georgia Online
reports.
Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree on the
termination of the agreement with Azerbaijan on the transit of
Azerbaijani oil via the Baku-Novorossiysk pipeline.
The decision of the Russian government on termination of the agreement
on transportation of Azerbaijani oil through the territory of Russia,
dated January 18, 1996, is not a political but an economic issue,
SOCAR (State Oil Company of Azerbaijan) reported on Wednesday.
'This issue was not a surprise to SOCAR. Both sides at various times
have raised issues which have not been resolved. In particular, the
issues of consistent quality of Azerbaijani oil during transportation
through the territory of Russia and its storage at the port of
Novorossiysk, oil quality bank, increasing the volume of oil
transportation, issues related to the rate and mechanisms of change,"
the report says.
