Information disseminated about the sale of Batumi Port is inaccurate, - Natia Turnava, the Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development, told reporters.
“This information is inaccurate. A Kazakh company has operated Batumi Port for a long time. However, we are not aware of such information that Armenian side has expressed interest. If there were such a thing, we would have known. So, we are not confirming it. I would like to point out that this property does not belong to the state and cannot be put up for sale”, Natia Turnava said.
Armenian Public Radio quoted Armenian publication Zamanak as saying that "Armenia is interested in purchasing of the Batumi seaport, which the Georgian government is selling for $ 600 million".
