An OIL Expert gives his view on HUR and the response on ADVFN
is brilliant. ADVFN has switched on traders while the LSE Board
is confusing.
a relist would do.then out with something. at the momment its nothing
They say every man has his price. Looks like Zaza has been bought by the other side and is batting well up the order. A cunning googlie should see him caught at silly mid off, despatched back to the pavillion and forced to watch the opposition collapse.
Putin has what he wanted more than anything on the oil and gas front with Nordstream 2 going ahead and very near completion. The pressure to stop O&G development in Georgia is now off especially given the long lead time for field development.
Let's hope now we can now get on with the job without further political or legal interference.

Q: If Russia demanded the ouster of Frontera, why did it agree to keep him in Georgia? Has the Kremlin also made concessions to the West?
- The Kremlin has assessed well what would follow the expulsion of "Frontera". America understands well that Russia is behind this. Moscow would receive a very bitter response. They calculated the risks perfectly and started to expel "Frontera" from Georgia. A deal had already been struck somewhere in April - Frontera had sued Srchel from the Hague Arbitration Court, and the Russians would have allowed Ivanishvili to return the company to Georgia. If Frontera's contract was terminated, it would end very badly for Ivanishvili. Frontera demanded 3 billion in compensation from the Georgian government. If the arbitration court upheld this lawsuit, Tbilisi would have to pay 3 billion. Paying such an amount would turn Georgia upside down and Bidzina Ivanishvili would follow suit. That is why the deal was made and "Frontera" will stay in Georgia.
"Georgian Dream" is a party that is made and managed from the outside to the end. One of his main ideologues is Radikowski. Radikovski also participated in Lebed's election campaign, which was funded by Bidzina Ivanishvili.
The Georgian Dream was not a long-term political project. It became a kind of political intermezzo. It was the opinion of the Obama administration, and others agreed that it was impossible for Saakashvili to stay in power. His government had serious human rights abuses. Ivanishvili, as his spiritual father and sponsor, was asked to create an alternative force that would be a transitional government. Extraordinary elections were to be held in Georgia in 2014 - this would have created a qualitatively new political reality in our country.
Everyone was preparing for the snap elections, but something unforeseen happened - American-Russian cooperation collapsed. I am talking about the cooperation that was used to manage the current political processes in Georgia. As a result, we lost the "Georgian Dream".
Now a new cycle had to begin and a pandemic occurred which delayed some processes. As I say, Ivanishvili is a man of serious destiny. I do not know what else must be done to continue the rule of this man. Most likely, he will no longer be lucky now.

I know a lot of water has passed under the bridge since this interview but I think this (part) gives a hint at the bigger picture.

Mirian Mirianashvili: "Americans have repeatedly offered the leader of the Georgian Dream to become the ruler of a truly independent country"
August 1, 2020
"Georgian Dream" is still not justified. America does not refuse to impose sanctions on Georgia. The withdrawal of Ivanishvili's party will not help the case either. The release of some of the political prisoners and the cancellation of the contract with Frontera failed to convince the Western "dreamers" of their democratic intentions. The opposition thinks that the main sanctions are still ahead and a serious ordeal awaits Bidzina Ivanishvili in the fall. Ivanishvili feels good about the political end, but is still looking for a solution.
Mirian Mirianashvili, former chairman of the United National Movement, is also waiting for quotes from the West. He told Kronika + a few months ago that official Tbilisi would make a concession to Frontera, but that this concession would not deter the West from its intention.
Why did the Georgian government make a concession to Frontera? What is America asking for? What step can Ivanishvili not take? What scheme is planned to be drawn in Georgia? What if Biden wins in America? What did Nixon offer Gamsakhurdia and why did he refuse the offer? - Mirian Mirianashvili talks to "Kronika +" about this:
- Mr. Mirian, the Georgian government was going to terminate the contract with the American "Frontera". This provoked a strong reaction in Washington. Last week we learned that Tbilisi will no longer terminate the contract with the American company. Does this mean that Ivanishvili is making concessions to the West?
- It was expected. I talked about this a few months ago with "Kronika +". America will no longer allow Russian interests to be pursued in Georgia. The ouster of Frontera was part of a Russian plan that Ivanishvili was gradually implementing. In the West, this provoked a very sharp reaction and everything ended as it should.
Q: Are you saying that Ivanishvili went against Moscow with the recent decision made with Frontera?
- He did not go against Moscow. This decision was made by the leader of the Georgian Dream in agreement with them.
