“Engurhesi” [Enguri HPP] has refuted the allegations made by Ana Tsitlidze, a member of the United National Movement, regarding the confiscation of employees’ identity cards and negotiations with Russian occupiers about closing the Enguri Bridge.

“We categorically declare that the statement spread by the representative of the UNM about the confiscation of ID cards for the employees of “Engurhesi” is a complete lie and misinformation! Any claims of ‘evidence’ to substantiate this assertion are entirely baseless”, - reads the statement.

“Regarding the more serious and slanderous accusation pertaining to alleged negotiations with Russian occupiers about the closure of the Enguri Bridge, we categorically dismiss this claim as completely absurd and without merit.

We reiterate that Ana Tsitlidze is engaged in a targeted campaign aimed at discrediting not only the chairman of the board of directors, Levan Mebonia but also Enguri HPP LLC and its employees. Such slanderous statements are not new to her rhetoric, as she has made similar accusations in previous years”, - adds the company.
The denial came after Ana Tsitlidze claimed that her party had obtained evidence showing that the director of “Engurhesi” instructed internally displaced persons to surrender their identity cards and negotiated with Russian occupiers to close the Enguri Bridge in an effort to prevent IDPs from voting.
