- David, if it isn't a secret, what budget of your Federation?

- Not secret. 71 million drams.

-  As far as this sum can provide your needs? 

- Approximately percent on 30. Certainly, we-I want to tell - the Federation tries to earn whenever possible money and by own efforts, but, you understand, our sport specific, difficult and it demands many means. It is enough to tell that in the next Georgia prmerno the same sum is spent for development of only female judo, there by tens sport schools on this sport with the independent budget, at us - any. Georgia wins on world and European championships and we on judo have no specialized sport school what there to speak.

-  Recently you tested Burn, as a place for gatherings of our athletes.  What your impressions? 

- In Burn for us excellent conditions for trainings were created, besides, our children competed with very strong Georgian fighters. It is a pity only that we can't take out all our athletes on collecting, we try as much as possible more. We plan to involve 6 athletes in the April European championship, at the slightest opportunity we will increase this quantity.

- Sponsors help?

- We find partners and we work with them, but as a whole sponsorship in Armenia didn't take root. Psychology not that. The state support is necessary to sports, it is necessary to develop accurately state program of development of sports on prospect, instead of it is simple to support him afloat.

-  How you leave a situation? 

- We do everything possible, but it is very difficult. The base in the form of schools is necessary, the preparation system is necessary. For example, agreed with the International federation that within support of development of our judo our best sportswomen will be able to leave 3 times a year on 10-day international collecting: apart from transport they assume expenses.

- In your sport calendar very saturated.

- I would like to address to experience of the Georgian colleagues again. Even in hard times the state supported financially judo and now, having support at all points, the Georgian judo took a huge step forward and and female too. After all sports too demand investments. Without it medals don't happen. It is necessary to open schools, the benefit, our look is very popular to provide mass character, to provide good conditions for trainers.

- And judo will return the favor.

- You can not doubt it. This year we will participate in the world European championships, tournaments of the Grand Prix, "Grand Slam", and it obliges. Our sport exchanges and trainers are capable of a lot of things if only to have opportunity for good preparation.
