Turkey and Georgia will introduce a system to speed up border trade at the Turkish Black Sea city of Sarp, making Georgia a primary central Asian port for Turkey and the rest of the Europe, said Turkish President Abdullah Gul on Wednesday.

In a joint press conference with his Georgian counterpart Giorgi Margvelashvili, Gul said Turkish and Georgian officials have discussed enabling international traders to submit their documents at a single location (single window system).

"Hopefully we will start single window system at Sarp border gate and we will increase Turkey and Europe's bond with Central Asia through Caucasus," said Gul.

Gul also mentioned energy and transportation ties between Turkey and Georgia, saying that 80 per cent of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway system -- a regional railway project that would link Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey -- has been completed.

"All of this shows how strong relations between Turkey and Georgia are. As proof, every year 1.8 million Georgian visitors come to Turkey, while the number of visitors from Turkey to Georgia is 1.6 million," Gul said.

"Wehave strategically deep relations and we always support Georgia's place in European and NATO structures."

Also, Margvelashvili supported Turkey as an international partner during the press meeting.

"Especiallyin terms of territorial integrity and sovereignty, and of integration to transatlantic structures, Turkey always supported Georgia. Our Turkish partners likewise support us by not recognizing seceded regions from Georgia," Margvelashvili said.

Moscow recognized the independence of Georgian breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, after a six day war in 2008 with Georgia. The regions do not have international recognition

We have really good relationship with Georgia but they have to take some security measures for our business men so every mouth our business men killing over there so they have lots of lawless and poor people in their country...
 
It would be in Turkey's interest to somehow win Georgia's side permanently. Georgia is our important link with AZ. Maybe some sort of a mini union in economical, military and political fields. If they suddenly turn against us and AZ too, things will get really tough for Turkey and AZ
