Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili has stated that over the next month the government will continue communication with Enka, the Turkish contractor company for the Namakhvani hydro power plant to be built on the Rioni river in western Georgia, but who terminated the contract last week.

PM said that it is the sovereign right of the government to talk to the investor about the improvement of the conditions that were bothering the population. Gharibashvili said that 'many things were unacceptable in this contract and I talked to the investor about it'.

"Nobody knows how much we will have to pay. If the company leaves us, an independent auditing company will be involved in the case, which will estimate the amount of its expenses and negotiate accordingly. It can be bought out by another company, there are many options, so I do not see a problem", Gharibashvili stressed.
