Turkey is the absolute leader in the region and the guarantor of stability, Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said at a joint press conference with the Turkish PM in Istanbul on Friday.

"His wise policy is a guarantor of stability in the region," he said, stressing that despite challenges and threats in North Africa and tensions over Iran, Turkey's position differs with its "steadiness" and "pragmatism."

He said such a policy ensures the preservation of stability and security throughout the region and "we should thank Turkish Prime Minister" for that.

"Especially in the last few years Turkey has become a state of great importance and is now a regional leader who creates and manages processes, and which is a guarantor of peace," Saakashvili added.
