Georgia has prohibited Armenia and Azerbaijan from the transit of military equipment and weapons through its territory. This was stated by the head of the Georgian parliamentary committee for defense and security Irakli Sesiashvili, reports Interfax-Azerbaijan.
«For obvious reasons, Georgia has a neutral position in relation to this conflict, as we have really special good neighborly relations with both Azerbaijan and Armenia, and I want to emphasize that both states value our positions, ”Sesiashvili emphasized.

«We have declared a clear rejection of this for everyone, our neighbors know this and respect our approach. “

The fighting between Armenian and Azerbaijani troops on the line of contact in Nagorno-Karabakh began on the night of September 27. Azerbaijan and Armenia introduced martial law and announced the mobilization of the reserve.
Both countries blame each other for the escalation of the conflict and report combat casualties and civilian casualties. According to Baku and Yerevan, the enemy is using heavy weapons and mercenaries.
The international community called on Armenia and Azerbaijan to immediately cease hostilities and to sit at the negotiating table.
The conflict between Baku and Yerevan flared up again in 1988 after the predominantly Armenian Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region announced its withdrawal from the Azerbaijan Soviet Socialist Republic.
During the 1992-1994 armed conflict, Azerbaijan lost control of Nagorno-Karabakh.
In 1994, mediated by Moscow, an armistice agreement was signed, ending active hostilities in the region, but leaving Karabakh and the surrounding regions of Azerbaijan under Armenian control.
The peace agreement came to a standstill after talks between the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2009.
