No reputable investor will enter Anaklia port project, Badri Japaridze says
Lelo party leader Badri Japaridze, called the investment of 300 million dollars by the state in the Anaklia port project a 'realm of fantasy' in an interview.
According to him, no reputable investor will enter the project, where the state will have a 51% share.
"The government of Georgia allegedly terminated the contract with the Anaklia Development Consortium due to a delay of several months. The question arises - who benefited from this, our state? of course not. Three years have passed and we have not laid a finger on the finger, we have lost huge opportunities. Such decisions are taken by the current government. Investing 300 million dollars by the state is the realm of fantasy. Where the state will have 51%, no reputable investor will enter. Therefore, the statement we heard on this matter is for propaganda purposes," said Japaridze.
