and in subsequent to the offering and. all the branch operations. they continue their lives in their own country without fear and. in free to enjoying freedoms. it is something i believe that this is something that can be applied to members and to the east of your freights as well it is necessary that humanitarian infrastructure must be prepared be prepared must be carried out then we are prepared to do what we can and listen to that but we expect the international community to take responsibilities but although it is some portion of that there is a significant absence deficiencies in this regard. those who.

use another pretoria comes to talking do not appear to be coming for when it comes to doing things. three countries. so we believe that says it in problem. can be and must be resolved based on the united nations. security council was aleutian to two five four. taking this so-called sunni thing. i'd like to say that next next summit. can be carried out in turkey shared my desire to hold the next summits and the next months to come. thinking my dear friend president putin for his. and for hosting us here

thank you. thanks to you mr rouhani and your colleagues. and usenet is what i like to express my greetings to the my viewers as well monitors and yes mr rouhani my questions pacific for you and also i would like to ask. other colleagues of yours for this as well with gusto what. discussions that you have had their future for their band is tough if it's a stereo what's going to be defeated of this area. like in the future. there are three countries. what they believe is actually representative of what the

international community believes is the fact that the whole territory of territory of syria should be under the control of the legal government of syria. whether it's at length or the stuff you freights. you hold territory off syria belongs to the nation of syria for territorial integrity and national sovereignty of syria was emphasized on by everybody at this meeting and also their previous rounds of meetings we reiterated on this. and the previous on everything that the discussion of was how can it let's be clear. so that ordinary people do not suffer and how can we separate the terrorists from the people and what kind of mechanism to make an ism that was predicted. has not been that useful so far today at this meeting we discussed again. whole concept of cease

fire or reduction. is temporarily there it should be cleared. of terrorists and it should return to the national sovereignty of syria and this stuff you're afraid. interference offered by the states has been a cause for concern still there's a group terrorists who are present there they're operating there we are. there might be involved and then a long term conspiracy for syria this is still our concern. even if they leave syria you know. united states in the region. can interfere with continuous interference. by air it's a small ations can continue a error we believe this stuff your faith and lip should be clear of terrorists and

they should be returned to the syrian government. and the kurds. are part of the nation of syria. they should enjoy. their rights just as insure rights. and should see their role in the future government of syria. the post of the said settlement should be the observation of the territorial integrity of syria it relates to the zone. you know that jason territories if right you fred is also based in part and of course the fighting terrorism should be continued continued whatever they are you are the first thing a second you can use and we don't support us nothing will support anything which is

what the link to what separatism. is a dialect within syria should lead to the society and the state will be fully restored. and we. will persist. with. food it is necessary that we take the bicycle precautions. turkey and syria have a joint border which is none other than ten kilometers long. has been an attempt to establish a terror. in the north of syria along the turkish border and it is it was our number one do you t. to eliminate that. possibility because we were there facing

serious. threats from that the second one was. khaled. and there's been. similar actions in hell of which and how it was. did. it leap next. to get. together russian federation we've taken steps and three or four hundred thousand people. thanks to that still. in their land they have been able to stay there there's been similar struggles in other parts of syria as well now east and west of ukraine. is in. the stand three zero it is a. hope. to. find

a solution. because the t. tional committee and then a peaceful resolution to the issue in syria. united states made a decision to pull out of syria. and they've they've . announced that they've discussed this with their nato partners. ask all three of you please to. comment on that. referred to. taken about the problems. turkey by turkey around the syrian border what steps are being taken turkey's a nato country. the. the declaration

of. getting out pulling out of syria. was a declaration by present trump but it transpired shortly after that many of his colleagues did not share his reels because heads action will be taken been taken as soon as such a decision was declared. huge steps progress could have been made by now but now april may and. he's being sort of. considered. but of course is a trio we keep a close eye on that it is our desire to make sure that. totally integrity. remains intact that terrorist organizations are driven out of syria

there's no playground for terrorists to be to feel free to remain free in syria and therefore by all that for syrian people to return and continue a peaceful life in syria curing the safety of. southern border we treat it with understanding we are. within turkey and syria there are corresponding agreement and place. and it is it lays out the principles of the trained fighting off terrorism. as a basis for the work so today we should take as a basis our special services and military organization and close contacts and they interact in this respect i am sure that if we operate in such a carbonated way as until now that will that will secure success that finally we think and. mr gant confirms that that finally. yes you know we've connectors around

that there are no integrity of syria you. will be sure. as soon as this terrorist group threat is diminished what concerns the big drawl are their merican the troops. we know are the presidents of the us mr trump. quite actively works on the on the fulfillment of his prayer election promises which is quite iran banned in the political life of united states in practice one or. one of the process a result of this talk from syria but as it was stressed. in tap into political situation in situations like this that always he manages to achieve the goals which he says what will happen in the future we don't know but for today

we state that big changes they're not big changes in the territory of the country and i am but we are seeing but it will take place and it will be the case that the only true solution of the bee is you are to secure the safety is that the handover of this territory under the control of the syrian armed forces across this. country. regarding the first issue i.e. united states we do not have any optimism about what the americans are saying. if. the states leave syria completely. destroy will be. good news for the people of syria. and when the united states leaves iraq or afghanistan or other regional countries they decide to

leave it will be good news. for the nations of these countries. but what is important is the fact that there are the states over the last twenty years. then i say has always had a destructive role whether in afghanistan or with it and iraq or syria or now and yemen. has not been positive role we believe that the us should change its stance. and should understand. their ways to be in the region is not the way they have chosen. and this is not correct and we have only seen that the measures taken by the us are neither and there is the interest of the us people nor and interest of the. people in the region and you can see that there was going to the meeting is taking place in warsaw it's an empty meeting nothing. the us.

is confused and doesn't know what to do. what the u.s. is doing or whether the current administration or the previous administration doesn't ensure that enter this. region and the nations of the region what we want and what we are hoping for as a state. changes that policy in the region. as far as turkey is going to turkey has concerns and there. concerns are justified right. now if you don't we nations are like timbs of terrorism we have. struck time. most of which have been said by foreigners by designers by the americans including what happened yes so they. are on a suicide attack against our border forces or the guard. we can see

that terrorism is there is a danger for the region and we should respond to that danger to terrorism. but. i don't think their kids want to know what the government of syria or what the future of syria arm or about the kurds. concerns off turkey are. actually that have to do with terrorist groups and we should. just terrorist groups under what they are and they want to tell they are willing to give the sitter should also be protected. you know sort of the lead of the questions you said a lot about how cute is this the problem of the syrian refugees what else they can trace and can do so that they return to their homes who else do you and if you

could why they don't do it. to the russian president you are the twenty third of january meeting at the grand mosque accorded the latter. resent us over to the u.n. secretary where they put a brake on the creation of the constitutional committee syria and you express hope that confidence we restored and the political process will be continuing has this church situation changes in islamabad with the people. if we start to with the final part of your question. we actively worked with the colleagues with the turkish partners with iranian partners our experts from the military agencies from foreign ministers they continued their character castle patience with the government of syria and the representatives of the opposition. i want to get satisfaction stress that on the whole we achieved some progress it's early to say

finally but having expressed our while. about our decision of i.o.i. some of our partners concerning the formation of this constitutional committee because we as we seem to be fulfilled all the conditions and their result was more than expected that's why i had got his impression that it just it was not just it was a sub atocha just what try to put a break the creation of this committee because in public it it was sad it was a needed the what a political means. in spite of all this difficult this will continue to work. very intensively and i think in the near future we will be able to state the final result and be quicker will be able to do it. the better concerning the humanitarian . situation then of course if all the interest is interested

that the refugees return to their homes that everything should be done so that the conditions of the lie life are human now and there is no need for some properly color reasons pointless to limit the provision of humanitarian assistance to the syrian people and and even so it looks strange the decisions our countries about sanctions and respect to. those companies. and the legal entities who provided similar terrible citizens who cooperate with the syrian government so in the infrastructure so that the help of the health care and education and c.s. people should unite rather one thing one thing helping syria to restore its a state. which.

is special in relation to the work towards constitutional establishment of a constitutional committee i should say i mean in the us this is this is something that we desire to stop stop made much progress there is an attempt there's an effort by the u.n. . representative in syria working towards that and it's important for that to be achieved with a good result so that turkey. the people in syria will be able to determine their future they will have a chance to. contribute to the to the decision. regarding the. future is the trio we are not trying to be an alternative to the geneva. but if the geneva process is not working and there is

a process features virtue really well it's important to make the distinction and to see the contrast. here we are. carrying about carrying out our fourth summit in sochi and hopefully you will hold the fifth summit in turkey. on the other hand. the help aid expected for syria is not called coming. european union has made a promise. in relation to this but only one billion of almost six billion promised euro's promised has arrived. and there's been seven hundred fifty million dollars you see.

turkey is not going into turkey's budget it goes to the international to the budgets of internet international aid institutions we spend thirty five billion. dollars already. syria syrian people as i said three hundred than ten thousand. syrians have returned to their country we had three point six million refugees and three hundred ten thousand have gone panic it's important that peace and stability is established in syria. that conflicts in clashes must brought to an end must be brought to an end steps need to be taken but while the

steps are being taken we are saying that we shoot establish security zones and in those security zones let's build accommodation for syrian brothers and sisters by moving into those brothers and sisters. back to the home country let me let me talk about this the best. the first to talk about about this. there are many in the gulf talking there's a lot of money then they spent a lot of money on weapons. and so on but maybe comes to syria. figures expected are not forthcoming. it is my wish my true wish that we will help syria syrian people to come back on their feet again we believe that the return of refugees.

and the reconstruction of syria. should not be conditioned upon other issues. ducting of the constitution that can be just for the constitution the future of syria are very important and important issues. for which we should all put efforts to resolve at the same time. being outside their country also. i want is a huge problem i mean they don't deserve to be treated like us to have this kind of a condition. we should look at the root cause of why they have left the country why they have left the country well in security and killing us attacks these were the reasons as long as there is terrorism in syria. as long as that terrorist continue with and we are not. completely done away with them. because they

refuse or will not be feeling safe to return if we want to assess the construction and return of refugees. we should accelerate the fight against terror syria. and also. areas that are safe. they should be used for the return of refugees and also for reconstruction there is some of your figure on over the last years there we have been assisting the people of syria as a priority as a as a duty of our other friends of nation as a brother liberation. when we have provided humanitarian assistance to the syrian people and today we do the same and we have resolved that we would be nor that because faction of syria. reconstruction of syria was for the presence of many countries investment by many countries. investments and.

and we hope that the continuation of the talks between these three countries there should be focused also understand futures on the cost thank you. so you've been listening there to the presidents of russia turkey and iran in the southern russian city of sorts being a trilateral meeting being hosted there by russian president vladimir putin the fourth round of talks on a long term solution to the conflict in syria and what's been referred to as the stonner round of talks here with the news grid here at studio fourteen. and al-jazeera headquarters russia and iran of course close allies of syrian president bashar al assad while turkey has been supporting elements of the syrian opposition we're going to go live now to tehran where zain a harder has been following this for us from the iranian capital so. did we hear anything new from the three leaders in terms of advancing the process

in syria. well these three leaders held there are some it's just a few weeks after the united states announced that it was pulling its troops out of the northeastern corner of syria a very strategic corner of syria turkey wanted to fill the vacuum and create a safe zone in syria along its borders for two reasons for security reasons to push the kurdish armed group to wipe away from its borders and to create a safe zone to allow refugees to return president there the ground was hoping to get support particularly from russia to create this safe zone but the message he got both from the russian president and the iranian president and both of these presidents made it very very clear this is not going to happen and it is if it were to happen you will need the consent of the syrian president bashar assad so russia

and iran allies of the syrian government telling turkey that he needs to cooperate with bashar al assad rouhani the iranian president went even a step further saying that iran would be ready to try to you know improve the relationship between damascus and ankara or the god of bashar al assad they were good friends before the two thousand and eleven uprising but since then turkey has been a staunch supporter of the opposition also turkey coming under a lot of pressure from the iranian and russian presidents both of them talking about that deal the deal to create a demilitarized zone in the north western province rowhani and put in addressing the gun and telling him that this is a temporary solution we want action in fact russia has been piling pressure on turkey to act and it is being used really as a bargaining card now these three leaders it's a soul of unity they're partners they all have sway in syria they all have ground

forces in syria and they know it is in their best interests to cooperate in syria and elsewhere but clearly. disagreements were out in the open but this is not going to rupture their relationship because like i mentioned their strategic interests are much more vital so where do things go from here then xena because as you say a real sense there from the leaders of russia and iran that they have the leverage . on turkey in all of this and that turkey has essentially accept facts on the ground in syria. well first we have to wait and see whether or not the united states does pull out its forces and what what happens next will you know will turkey insist on creating that safe zone and risk possible confrontation with russia or with the syrian government which some sort of an agreement with the kurdish armed groups the i.p.g. and restore its authority in the northeastern corner of syria then we have to wait and see whether or not the adam and i don't know agreement this revives that nine

hundred ninety eight agreement between anchor and to mask this where in effect damascus will reign in the y.p. g. and provide the security guarantees that turkey steaks we heard the iranian president and the russian president repeat time and time again we understand turkey's security concerns so we have to see whether or not that deal is revived and whether or not there will be contacts between damascus and ankara especially now that iran is interested in this rapprochement and then we have to wait and see what happens and it lives in the northwestern province of italy where three million people live it is now under the control of a toughie the shamma group with many in the international community consider considers a terrorist organization will turkey take on the group what kind of deal has been reached between the turkish and russian defense ministers who have been holding a series of meetings in recent days so a lot is that stake in the northern part of syria as you know these different players now you know now it's

a strategic and political struggle over syria all right xana hold a lie first there in tehran thanks and i will not one bashar is a senior political analyst he joins me now in the studio to talk more about this so my when your thoughts there on on what we've just been hearing from these three leaders well first i think of things in. court correct and her reading about the word just went down and i think there is a qualitative change in the tone and in the approach to syria and clearly we have three part two meetings three parties on it and there's certainly two versus one and we have. and it's very clear i think the iranians and the russian president are on the one side then the turkish president i think is in the minority anyone who hoped that putin was going to downsize iranian influence in the country in favor of turkey or in favor of the united states or anything of that nature that's out clearly turkey has certain red lines that has to do specially with its

borders because bashar assad is no longer a red line for the turkish state for the president and if the question is what happens in the northwest meaning in the edit province or in the north east meaning where that kurdish forces are deployed if that's the issue then i think the russians in their areas are saying we are ready to work with the turkey in order to give it enough guarantees for its security that whether it's the people ideally would have to be disarmed and they would help us this arm and nusra front in the northwest so i think it's clear that putin is very comfortable in the stand a process in the sochi process very comfortable away from the. process in the sense that the basically what he's saying i want the war in syria on going to dictate the future of syria and that of course is kind of flies in a number of slogans and i think those slogans have to be unpicked and have to be

exposed for what they are which is basically lies first of what the iranian president saying of course we've always said there is no military solution there is political solution but iran and russia have been fighting the syrian opposition for seven years now so it certainly now they're saying that because they won militarily to that it's up to the syrian people to decide the future of syria or if no one knows this actually means under the dictatorship of bashar assad that is going on in a dictatorship and assad is going to have a veto on anything. moving forward in syria and even if you do hold elections in syria under this regime just as it's happened under supervision in egypt we know and that the that the ship what the result will be which is an overwhelming support for the president so i think in a sense what we're hearing now is russia and iran moving forward in order to define what this future of syria is and there was

a couple of interesting new moves if you will here when president putin spoke about . not only there is delay or deadlock in the in the forming of the constitutional committee that needs to discuss the future of the constitution in syria and so forth he said it's somewhat diced and i think he's probably signaling certain western countries in the united states for sabotaging because there has been behind the scene problems about a number of members that the united nations and the west wanted but russia refused and vice versa and last but not least i think you probably heard that as much as i did and i'm sure our viewers are on the wall there that there's almost like a war of words from war so you must do such and such at the war so between the iranian president and the american vice president from warsaw we've heard all kinds of accusations about iran and here in sochi today we've heard the iranian president nonstop attempts at accusing the united states of conspiracy of destruction and so

and so forth yet we're going to hear about the events in warsaw in just a moment but we're going to talk a little bit more about this now we're going to hear from the iranian president has an rouhani some of what he had to say at this meeting in so she. got on. to calling us our second question we have with the united states is that they are. they claim that they're leaving syria but our intelligence tells us they're continuing interference in syria doesn't matter how many americans are there in syria what is important is that we should leave the syrians to decide up on their future themselves so the iranian president hassan rouhani they're talking about the u.s. troop presence in syria and whether or not they're going to to to pull out which is seems to be an ongoing question doesn't it absolutely i mean you would get the feeling this is we're no longer living in the obama. of the in the united states admitting certain past mistakes and let's compromise and so on so forth everything

we hear from the arenas and the americans at this point in time was political. it's one sided and there's no giving on anything and none of them is going to admit any faults and everyone is going to be accusing go the other side of being behind all evil in the region and so i think the president rouhani even in answering one of the questions spoke about american conspiracy against syria so not only.
