Anaklia Project: Strategic Importance and Challenges

Abstract

The Anaklia deep-sea port project is one of the important projects planned to be implemented in Georgia. Thus, this project, which is as important as the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan project, aims to increase Georgia's cargo transportation potential and connect the East with the West. Since Black Sea ports such as Poti and Batumi cannot compete with Turkish and Russian ports, the future potential of Anaklia has become the center of attention. The purpose of the study is to highlight the difficulties this project has faced since its inception, the political events surrounding the project, and also to show its importance for the region in political and economic terms. Studies show that the change of government in Georgia, and economic and political problems have led to certain interruptions in the implementation of the project. The study, conducted using the descriptive research method, analyzed information from Georgian press agencies on the subject.
