There are interested circles in Armenia,  in buying the port of Batumi, which Georgia is preparing to sell for $ 600 million. This is reported by the Armenian newspaper “Jamanak Daily” (“Time”).

According to the newspaper, various circles in Armenia are trying to organize a fundraiser to buy the port. This would allow the unimpeded delivery of goods in the country.

“The idea of creating a joint-stock company is being discussed. Diaspora businessmen can become part of it, but someone to invest a large startup capital is necessary. And that is not the case at the moment”, the newspaper notes.

The Kazakh state-owned company “KazMunayGas” is the owner of the Batumi port.
