The statement also highlighted the importance of the bilateral relationship between the two neighbours. 

“Azerbaijan continues to attach great importance to its close partnership and neighborly relations with Georgia,” the Foreign Ministry added.

The 2008 war resulted in the occupation of Abkhazia and South Ossetia by Russian forces, leaving 411 Georgians dead and displacing around 130,000 citizens internally.
