Over 35 percent of Azerbaijan-Georgia state border subject to delimitation
By Jamila Babayeva
Some 180 kilometers section of the Azerbaijan - Georgia state border has not yet fully coordinated, Head of the State Committee for Land and Cartography Garib Mammadov told journalists on February 12.
He noted that the length of the Azerbaijan - Georgia state border is 480 kilometers and about 300 kilometers have already been agreed at the level of state commissions.
"Our experts twice visited Georgia and identified areas for which no agreement was reached. Georgian experts also visited Azerbaijan. We again will visit Georgia, when the commission will invite us through diplomatic channels," Garibov said.
Kazakh, Agstafa, Tovuz, Samukh, Gakh, Zagatala and Balakan regions of Azerbaijan borders Georgia.
Some segments of the Georgian-Azerbaijani border remain controversial. For example, there is no agreement in the place near the David Garedji monastery complex. The Georgian side claims that the historic monument is located on the territory of Georgia and Azerbaijan also challenges this territory. The state border between Azerbaijan and Georgia actually divides monastery into two parts.
