The Prime Minister of Georgia commented the fact of the Namakhvani HPP project suspension.

“I inherited this contract, as well as many other things. Naturally, many things were unacceptable in this contract and I talked to the investor about it.

We will continue the dialogue with the investor company. Despite the protests on the ground, we created absolutely all the conditions for them to continue working normally. We will have communication and find out the rest in the next 1 month.

We have not had any communication with President Erdogan in this regard and this is purely a relationship between the investor and the state. We take care of all investors, on the other hand, we will create maximum comfort for all investors, taking into account the interests of our state and citizens.

I want to say that in the coming years our strategy will be to gain more energy independence, more investment in the energy sector and we do not expect problems and obstacles”, - said Irakli Garibashvili.
