According to him, Georgia will profit either way; if the memorandum is not signed the status-quo will remain at EngurHess, if it is signed, EngurHess and state budget will receive 24 million additional GEL annually and this will be a guarantee that the Russians and Abkhazians are not involved in the management of EngurHess and it is under Georgia’s control.
