土耳其国防部长亚萨尔·古勒周五表示，高加索地区的安全无法与土耳其、阿塞拜疆和格鲁吉亚的安全相割裂，并强调了三国合作对地区和平与稳定的重要性。
Türkiye’s national defense minister said Friday that the security of the Caucasus cannot be considered separately from the security of Türkiye, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, stressing the importance of trilateral cooperation for regional peace and stability.
古勒对能够来到被誉为阿塞拜疆文化心脏的舒沙市出席三国国防部长会议感到欣喜。他指出，土耳其、阿塞拜疆和格鲁吉亚是三个友好的邻国，彼此拥有共同的历史与地理渊源、相互信任以及深厚的友谊纽带。
Expressing pleasure at being in the Azerbaijani city of Shusha, which he called the heart of the country’s culture, for a trilateral defense ministers' meeting, Yasar Guler said Türkiye, Azerbaijan and Georgia are three friendly neighboring countries connected by a shared history and geography, mutual trust, and strong bonds of friendship. He said the strong ties among the three have evolved into increasingly deep and multidimensional strategic cooperation, while the South Caucasus is undergoing a significant transformation.
他表示，三国间的紧密联系已逐步发展为日益深入且多维度的战略合作，而南高加索地区也正经历着重大变革。
Noting that Türkiye welcomes recent developments toward establishing peace between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Guler said: "We believe this new era will create new opportunities for cooperation in the South Caucasus through the joint efforts of the countries in the region.”
谈及土耳其对阿塞拜疆与亚美尼亚之间和平进程进展的欢迎态度时，古勒说：“我们相信，在地区各国的共同努力下，这一新时代将为南高加索地区的合作创造新机遇。在此背景下，土耳其—阿塞拜疆—格鲁吉亚三国的合作尤为关键。”
“Here, Türkiye-Azerbaijan-Georgia cooperation is of particular importance," he said.
古勒指出，三国间现有的能源、交通及通信合作项目不仅有助于经济发展，也有助于维护地区安全与稳定。“保障这些项目的安全是我们三国的共同责任，”他说。
Guler said existing energy, transportation and communication projects among the three countries contribute not only to economic development but also to regional security and stability. "Ensuring the security of these projects is the shared responsibility of our countries," he said.
他还提到，三国军队间的联合军事演习、训练以及经验交流正是履行这一责任的切实体现。
Guler said joint military exercises, training and exchanges of experience among the three countries' armed forces are practical reflections of this responsibility.
“高加索地区的安全绝不能与土耳其、阿塞拜疆和格鲁吉亚的安全相分离，”古勒强调道。
"The security of the Caucasus cannot be considered separately from the security of Türkiye, Azerbaijan and Georgia," he said.
基于这种理解，我想再次表达我们对格鲁吉亚和阿塞拜疆独立与领土完整的坚定支持，”他说，并补充道：“在未来几天里，我们准备以服务于高加索地区和平、安全、稳定和繁荣的方式，进一步深化我们三国之间现有的信任与团结。” 在舒沙期间，居莱尔还分别与阿塞拜疆国防部长扎基尔·哈萨诺夫上将和格鲁吉亚副总理兼国防部长伊拉克利·奇科瓦尼举行了单独的双边会晤。
"With this understanding, I would like to once again express our strong support for the independence and territorial integrity of Georgia and Azerbaijan,” he said, adding: “In the coming days we are ready to further advance the existing trust and solidarity among our three countries in a way that serves peace, security, stability and prosperity in the Caucasus." While in Shusha, Guler also held separate bilateral meetings with Azerbaijani Defense Minister General Zakir Hasanov and Georgian Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Irakli Chikovani.
