Turkish and Georgian border troops to exercise together
2002-03-19
  • The border guard services of Georgia and Turkey have started military exercise in Samtskhe-Javakheti region of Georgia, which borders with Turkey. During this exercise the border guards of both states will train on eradication of illegal migration and smuggling on the Turkish-Georgian border. An accord on conducting the exercise was reached during the recent (March 7-8) visit of the delegation of general staff of Turkish armed forces to Georgia.

    The military contacts between Turkey and Georgia became more active within the recent period of time when the Turkish leadership announced that it welcomes arrival of the US military experts to Pankisi gorge and expressed readiness to render to the Georgian side security guarantees in fighting with terrorism in case if the US officially addresses to Turkey.
