Top official: Azerbaijan, Georgia committed to fraternal relations
Friendly and fraternal relations between Azerbaijan and Georgia
will continue, head of the Foreign Relations Department of the
Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Novruz Mammadov told Trend
news agency, commenting on the results of the parliamentary
elections held in Georgia on Monday.
"I believe that the relations between Georgia and Azerbaijan are
deep, friendly and partner relations. These friendly, fraternal and
good-neighbourly relations between the two countries and peoples
will further continue in the same direction and in the same
content," Mammadov said.
He said the fact that President Mikheil Saakashvili's party failed
to get Georgian public support was surprising not only for him, but
for everyone to some extend.
According to Mammadov, victory in the elections surprised both the
opposition itself, and the international community.
"It is necessary to wait a little, as the Georgian election body
should make its position public. Then we can express our opinion,"
Mammadov said.
The Georgian election body has counted data from 3,590 (97.03
percent) out of 3,766 polling stations so far.
According to preliminary data, the opposition coalition Georgian Dream continues to lead with 54.8 percent (1,154,533 votes).
The ruling party United National Movement ranks second with 40.4 percent (845,169 votes).
