Ivanishvili's worm presented in Gonio exactly the project we had in 2010 - Mikheil Saakashvili

"Ivanishvili's worm in Gonio presented exactly the project we had in 2010 and which should have been completed in 2014," said the third president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, in response to Irakli Gharibashvili's statement that a "new city" would be built in Gonio.

As Mikheil Saakashvili writes, "Georgian Dream" removed only one bridge from his project:

"Ivanishvili 's worm in Gonio presented exactly the project we had in 2010 and which should have been completed in 2014. The only thing that was removed was that the bridge was not completely identical. 

But they also forgot about the industrial zone Khelvachauri, where there should have been 100 new enterprises, and that bridge was beautiful, which we then designed and were already starting to build. Batumi Airport moved to the village of Meria, and Batumi Airport joined the Gonio zone, where there would be no Russian cottages as they intended, but a large financial zone where Georgians would receive very high salaries and make a lot of money - but Ivanishvili's Georgia could not make much money because it would pose a threat to Ivanishvili," Mikheil Saakashvili wrote.
