The negotiations between the two countries gained momentum after 2003 and peaked in 2012. Besides, these relations continue to develop in a positive way to this day. And the good relationship will encourage Turkish firms to invest in Georgia, thus increasing competitiveness of Turkish companies in such sectors as construction, tourism and telecommunications in Georgia. In the article, the diplomatic, economic and trade agreements between the two countries and the role of Turkish companies in Georgia are studied.
