Azerbaijani and Georgian experts have completed work on the demarcation of the border, Azerbaijani State Land and Cartography Committee Chairman. Garib Mammadov told reporters on Thursday.

"Currently, we expect the invitation of the Georgian side to discuss the work conducted at the expert level," Mammadov said.

Some 180 kilometers of the 480 kilometers-border between Azerbaijan and Georgia has not been clarified yet.

Regarding the Keshikchi dag complex, which is on the inconsistent side of the border with Georgia, Mammadov said borders can not be identified on some historical monuments. "The duty maps of the former Soviet Union is taken to account in determining the boundaries," he added.

The Keshikchi dag complex, which Georgians call the David Gareji complex, Azerbaijani historians regard as the monument of Albanian culture.
