"There is not any territorial conflict between Azerbaijan and Georgia. There are some uncoordinated areas on the front lines of both countries and these areas are being coordinated in the level of experts," Georgi Manjgaladze, Deputy Foreign Minister, the chief of Delimitation and Demarcation Commission, stated.

He said that nearly 300 km of 460 km (65%) border line between Azerbaijan-Georgia was coordinated by the experts. Manjgaladze said that it is still early to reason about the document to be signed on the delimitation and demarcation of the border line.

"Azerbaijan and Georgia work on the problem intensively. Delimitation and demarcation commissions had two joint meetings this year, and the experts meet continuously and try to coordinate disputable territories," he said.
 
Georgi Manjjgaladze also said that delimitation and demarcation problems of the territories will be discussed during Georgian Foreign Minister Gela Bezhuashvili's short-termed visit to Baku, APA reports.

"The delimitation of the territories will be one of the problems to be discussed by the minister during his visit. Generally, Georgia only has agreement with Turkey on delimitation and demarcation of territories. 300 km of 900 km border line between Russia and Georgia was coordinated by the intergovernmental commissions, 450 km in the level of experts. We could coordinate only 100 km of 220km border line between Armenia and Georgia."
