The first meeting of the 3+3 platform to ensure permanent peace and stability in the South Caucasus region suggested by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev will take place in Moscow on Friday, Turkey’s Foreign Ministry said Thursday, according to Daily Sabah.
Delegations from Turkey, Azerbaijan, Russia, Iran and Armenia will attend the meeting of the platform, established to enhance regional cooperation in the South Caucasus.
Deputy Foreign Minister Sedat Önal will lead the Turkish delegation at the meeting, the ministry said.
The ministry statement did not elaborate on the details of Georgian delegation at the meeting.
Last year, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan talked about the idea of the six-country regional cooperation platform including Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Iran, Georgia and Armenia during his visit to Azerbaijan where he attended the ceremony of the Victory Parade in the capital Baku upon invitation of President Ilham Aliyev.
Turkey believes that permanent peace is possible through mutual security-based cooperation among the states and people of the South Caucasus region.
