Azerbaijan and Georgia have agreed to accelerate the delimitation and demarcation of their shared state border, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said on Oct. 30. About 15 sections remain without agreement and will require active negotiations.
The border issue was discussed during the 11th meeting of the Azerbaijan-Georgia Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Cooperation in Sighnaghi and in separate talks between Kobakhidze and Azerbaijani Prime Minister Ali Asadov.
Kobakhidze told reporters that the process had made no progress in recent years. Georgia asked for negotiations to move more quickly and received a positive response from Azerbaijan, he said.
About 15 Sections Still Require Agreement
The Georgian prime minister said the countries intend to discuss each unresolved section in a friendly manner. No deadline was announced for completing the delimitation process or the later physical demarcation of the border.
Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry said in September 2024 that the bilateral commission had worked on delimitation since 1996 and that about two-thirds of the border was considered agreed. The ministry described the remaining areas as unresolved rather than disputed.
President Ilham Aliyev approved a new Azerbaijani border-delimitation commission on Oct. 10, 2026, naming a deputy foreign minister as its chairman.
