Theses

With the construction of the Anaklia port, the Poti port will not decline.

The 3+3 format, with the participation of Russia, Turkey, Iran and the countries of the South Caucasus, has no future.

The Abashidze-Karasin format has not created anything valuable.

The Iron Silk Road is called the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars project. The Akhalkalaki railway station is a logistics hub for the railways of Europe and Asia.

In the Georgian language, the words "demand and supply", "value" and "direction" were established by Ilia Chavchavadze, written by his pen.

The term "Silk Road" does not only refer to container transportation. The exchange of technologies and cultures is also the business of this road.

Ports, airports and railways bring large revenues to the country when the country itself produces something.

The “Tergdaleulebi” were liberals.

A product travels an average of 2,500 km before it reaches your plate.

Logistics accounts for about 12% of global GDP.

Georgia has signed free trade agreements with 46 countries.

Four free industrial zones operate in Tbilisi, Kutaisi, and Poti.

Georgia is crossed by nine international transit corridors and a trade route program.

Transit corridors are connected by links to manage goods. And the nodes between the corridors can provide the ability to transfer goods from road to rail and are called network nodes. Such nodes are located in Khashuri and Kutaisi.

The main economic centers of Georgia's Silk Road are Tbilisi, Rustavi and Gori, where distant merchants will be able to conclude trade deals on independent exchanges.

A special economic zone, a logistics center and an industrial park will operate in Poti, and a separate powerful logistics center - in Akhalkalaki.

The EU's GDP is $ 19 trillion. Countries from Europe to Asia and vice versa annually produce goods worth $ 42 trillion. If their logistics services were to remain only 1% for Georgia, its annual GDP would reach half a trillion dollars, which is equal to the economy of Belgium.

TRACECA and the Eastern Partnership mean the restoration of the Silk Road.

China is the largest manufacturing country. No matter how many investors and trade diplomats gather in Beijing, Astana, Dushanbe, Tehran, Moscow or Istanbul, if a representative from Beijing sits at one end of the table, a diplomat from Tbilisi must definitely sit at the other end of the table. Because the region that produces cargo is East Asia, and the one that transmits it to European markets is Georgia.

Georgia's main partners in the Silk Road are the European Union and Great Britain. The main natural ally is the Black Sea.

New fiber-optic cables and new pipelines will also pass through the territory of Georgia.

The Silk Road needs a free market, for which business Georgia has to fulfill 9 European reservations. Without this, nothing will work.

Maritime countries are distinguished by their demographic density in coastal areas. In the long term, along with the construction of the Kerch-Sochi-Sukhumi-Samtredia railway, Georgia will also need the ports of Sukhumi and Gudauta.

We need security not to get the Silk Road, but we need the Silk Road to get security.

The Dariali gate needs to be closed, the stock exchange needs to be opened.
