"Kyrgyz Wind System refutes the accusations of the Turkish logistics company. General Director of the company Asan Sadykov contacted the editorial office of Akchabar and presented his version of events related to the conflict with the Turkish logistics company Miss Project International Heavy Transport.

Earlier, ‘Akchabar’ was approached by Miss Project International Heavy Transport, which accused Kyrgyz Wind System of failure to fulfil the terms of the contract, which led to a debt to the carrier of more than $200,000.

However, according to Asan Sydykov, Kyrgyz Wind System fulfilled all financial obligations in good faith, and claims from Miss Project are unfounded. He noted that the company paid $91.2 thousand for transporting the cargo, which is more than 66% of the total contract amount of $137.5 thousand.

‘All payments were made in a timely manner and in full compliance with the contractual terms,’ Sadykov claimed.

Despite this, delivery of the equipment has not been completed. To verify the information about the equipment downtime, representatives of Kyrgyz Wind System visited Baku on 13 November 2024. 

According to Asan Sydykov he together with Net Logistics representative - Oktay Vayich conducted an inspection.

‘As we found out the car with number plate 06 BDY 341 headed to Kyrgyzstan directly without entering Azerbaijan. This casts doubt on Miss Project's statements about the idle transport in Baku. Two other vehicles with cargo (06 KGS 276 and 06 DH 9916) left the port of Baku-Elet on 19 September 2024 and headed for the Kazakh port of Aktau. That is, there was no long downtime in Baku, and the delay occurred at other stages of the route,’ said the head of Kyrgyz Wind System.

According to the company, under the terms of the contract, the entire cargo was to be delivered to the customs zone of Kyrgyzstan. However, its current location remains unknown. Miss Project did not provide information about where the equipment was located and did not notify the Kyrgyz side about its unloading in Kazakhstan, which is a gross violation of the contract.

Asan Sydykov emphasised that the protracted situation had a negative impact on the project implementation. At the moment, concrete bases for wind turbines are fully ready, but the lack of equipment does not allow to start further construction. In this regard, Kyrgyz Wind System has sent an official appeal to the Turkish Embassy on 19 December 2024 with a request to assist in resolving the conflict.

The company has also invoiced Miss Project for damages, including losses caused by the disruption of the construction schedule.

‘We remain open to negotiations and are ready for constructive dialogue, but we demand that Miss Project fulfills its obligations under the contract,’ said Asan Sadykov.

According to the head of the company, Kyrgyz Wind System continues to seek ways to resolve the situation and expects the dispute to be resolved as soon as possible.
