Georgia and Azerbaijan will speed up negotiations on the 15 disputed border sections: David-Garji is in the spotlight Georgian Prime Minister Irkli Kobhidze, after a meeting with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ali Asadov in Signagi, said that the parties agreed to step up work on border settlement. We are talking about 15 disputed areas where there has been no progress for years. One of the most sensitive issues is the medieval cave monastery complex of David Garji. Some of its buildings are located on a disputed ridge, and any change in the border line here is perceived particularly painfully in Georgia. It is important to emphasize: for now this is only an agreement to speed up the negotiations. They did not announce the approval of the sites themselves, nor changes to the border line. This means that the parties have sat down at the negotiating table, but concrete decisions are still far away.
