Eighteen years have passed since the full-scale military aggression launched by the Russian Federation against Georgia. In August 2008, disregarding the fundamental norms and principles of international law, Russia carried out the illegal occupation of Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region - inalienable parts of Georgia’s territory - and recognized their so-called independence.

On the occasion of the 18th anniversary of the 2008 Russia-Georgia war, the national flags are flown at half-mast at the premises of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as at Georgia’s diplomatic representations and consular offices abroad, to honour the memory of those who lost their lives.

On 24 July 2026, the Consul General of Georgia in Istanbul, Aleksandre Jishkariani, hosted Davut Günaydın, Vice President of the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies (TÜRSAB), at the Consulate General of Georgia in Istanbul.

The Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, Tamar Ioseliani and the Chairman of the Maritime Transport Agency, Ivane Abashidze, participated in the 5 th Türkiye Maritime Summit held in Istanbul.
