Anaklia Development Consortium: The views expressed by Giorgi Kobulia are incorrect and in most cases, not true

The views expressed by former Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, Giorgi Kobulia, are incorrect and in most cases, not true,- reads the statement released by the Anaklia Development Consortium.

The Consortium has responded to all opponents of the Anaklia port, saying that Giorgi Kobulia is one of the opponents of the port and that he had not asked for a meeting with the Consortium for nine months.

"The Anaklia Development Consortium decided to respond to all the opponents of the Anaklia port. First of all, we should note that Giorgi Kobulia, former Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development and opponent of the Anaklia port, had not asked for a meeting with the Consortium about the project for nine months of his term of office. It should also be noted that his views are wrong and in most cases do not correspond to the truth.

Special importance of Anaklia deep-water port is clear to everyone (even due to its location) and therefore, casting doubts on its strategic importance serves the interests of our northern neighbor," reads the statement.

The Consortium explicitly states that the Anaklia port is commercially absolutely justified. According to the statement, they have repeatedly sent projections made by a number of international and independent experts to the government, which prove the commercial profitability of the port.
