Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan on Public and Political Issues Ali Hasanov has expressed confidence that efforts of those who want to sow hostility between the friendly Azerbaijani and Georgian people will not be successful.

Commenting on a recent incident at Keshikchi Gala border checkpoint, Ali Hasanov told AZERTAC: “The latest incident against Azerbaijani border guards aims to directly spoil relations between the states. This is why appropriate authorities of both countries must conduct thorough investigations to identify those who perpetrated this incident and take measures against them.”

“The Georgian ambassador to Azerbaijan has already been summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to give explanation on the issue. And the Georgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement, condemning the incident, and vowed to investigate it thoroughly and hold the culprits accountable,” Ali Hasanov added.
