Abstract: Today, as never before, the Caucasus occupies a key place on the world political map. Accordingly, the political, economic and cultural relations of the two geopolitically most important countries in the Caucasus - Azerbaijan and Georgia - are the main cornerstone of these processes. They were part of the same empire, where they had to co-exist in a common political-ideological system. The issue of occupation and the struggle for independence, political, economic and cultural challenges after independence are important. In 2010, the President of Azerbaijan - Ilhalm Aliyev wrote - "We are the continuation of each other, we are the end of each other, we are parts of one organism." Azerbaijan is a determinant of many processes on the world political map. Due to its geopolitical location and energy resources, Azerbaijan is a preferred partner for many countries of the world. Georgia is connected with it by historical, economic and cultural roots. However, the relations between these two countries are bilateral, both from the economic and political point of view, for centuries. The security line of global energy and trans-national transport projects pass through these two countries. Accordingly, the relations between Georgia and Azerbaijan fundamentally determine the common Caucasian geopolitical strategy.
Key words: Georgia, Azerbaijan, collapse of the USSR, geostrategy.
