    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.
