PUBLIC OF GEORGIA SINCERELY REJOICE
AzerTAj correspondent met with the President of Georgian International Oil Corporation Georgy Chanturia and governor of the Kvemo Kartli-Borchali region Levan Mamaladze and asked to share his views on Ilham Aliyev’s appointment.
Georgy Chanturia: I was very pleased with the appointment of Ilham Heydar oglu Aliyev as Prime Minister of the friendly and fraternal country. When I was Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Azerbaijan, I was a witness of how tensely and fruitfully Ilham Aliyev work over the ‘Contract of the Century’.
Despite that BTC MEP is linked with the name of Azerbaijan President Heydar Aliyev, I am sure that Ilham Aliyev also labored a lot for its realization. It is the largest oil pipeline after Baku-Supsa, which will be laid through Georgia. The work in the corridor of Great Silk Route, however, will find its continuation in the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum gas pipeline.
I am happy that Azerbaijan made a right choice. On behalf of our collective and on behalf of myself, I extend sincere congratulations to Ilham Aliyev on his appointment to the post of Prime Minister and wish success.
Levan Mamaladze: The fact that confidence to run the government of Azerbaijan was entrusted on Ilham Aliyev is an evidence of experience gained by fraternal country within the past ten years in the state building, internal and foreign policy. Within past ten years, Ilham Aliyev underwent political ordeals, took experience in the international relations, he is worthy alumnus and a successor of the Heydar Aliyev’s school. I am satisfied that Azerbaijani residents of our region highly respect Ilham Aliyev and the public of Azerbaijan is happy for confidence made on him. Under the influence of these feelings, I wish Ilham Aliyev success.
