Zen, thanks for the response.
At the moment, we just don't know what's going on. As I see it, the key lies in the political lobbying. No way can we expect BP to wade in in any way (if they did, then I'd be surprised). So is political support we need to look at. Seems we have had a number of politicians on board supporting us with Ukraine. We haven't seen direct evidence of the same with Georgia, except, quite critically, we know there is some significant political collaboration between Georgia and the US, with passing of bills, cooperation which can only have been as a result of the oil and gas in Georgia. FRR will be amongst a few companies representing US interests out there. Question is, have they been able to mobilise US political support in Georgia? I believe so. Any US company or one representing US interests being unduly pressured over oil/ gas licenses should enjoy good support from the US political Base. Is fir FRR to argue that arbitrator pressures are undue direct attack on US interests. Not to forget that FRR had involvement in the Atlantic Council, meaning that it should've been easy enough to get the political establish get behind FRR over arbitration.
