Georgia will not disappear from the map; its unique strategic role cannot be replaced by any road, Georgian Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili told Imedi LIVE.

“Today, the construction of new roads between Azerbaijan and Armenia is being actively discussed, and we can confidently and calmly say that this is good for the region, especially in terms of connectivity. We do not view this as a competing route to the road passing through Georgia. Despite the emergence of new directions, Georgia consistently maintains its strategic importance on the global geopolitical map,” Bochorishvili said.

According to Bochorishvili, some politicians are attempting to use the relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan to diminish Georgia’s strategic function.
