security and cooperation here at this holding its meeting this week in the. leaders are coming to discuss threats to the region one of the biggest challenges is the drug trade from afghanistan their recent joint. operation was a success and many experts are now advocating closer teamwork between nato russia and afghanistan but what are going to have the muscle and now to boost the coalition efforts in afghanistan general of the collective security treaty. the forthcoming always seesawing. will feature leaders of the top political and military blocs the un nato and see europe presenting europe and america will join the cia asked. to discuss terrorism international crime and drug trafficking the c.s.t. oh has been pessimistic about cooperation with nature so far but the successful

joint anti-drug operation in afghanistan has proved teamwork his possible. also sees the astronaut summit as a perfect chance to blueprint real stamps creating a new pan european security system proposed by president dmitry medvedev. thank you for being with us. about the upcoming summit. well it is a five major international organizations are participating. and you personally like to see as a result of this meeting your main objectives. some well firstly the o.e.c.d. hasn't held a summit for eleven years. and now it's happening in a with because i stand as a siesta member state chairing it. the very fact that top government officials are

meeting to discuss security issues is a very important achievement. and objectives. would certainly want to discuss the issue of afghanistan but. i believe representatives of these five organizations could discuss coordination of their efforts in tackling the problem of afghanistan and improving the situation in southern kurdistan. i'd even say that the fact that we're meeting to discuss all these matters will give an impetus to our joint efforts in maintaining security in the region and more specifically i'll have a meeting with the always see secretary-general to discuss the new always see initiatives regarding kurdistan the so-called peaceful police mission. we're willing to assist the always seeing these actions as we have been cooperating with the kurds authorities in stabilizing their situation and restoring order there.

briefly discuss the different summit the nato summit has just taken place if i'm not mistaken back in summer you say and i quote. position. there is no consensus among nato members regarding cooperation with the c.s.t. oh they obviously prefer bilateral contacts from a viewpoint on which their political goals unquote. the summit took place it was a success as we heard and russia participated in it is your position changed or has it remained the same. nothing actually happened regarding the interaction between nato and the c.s.t. zero firstly the summit adopted meters new strategic concept secondly the summit to place without russia's participation russia participated. exactly you participated in the russian agent summit which had its own agenda indeed many political analysts

are saying that the summit was successful indeed a new strategic concept was adopted nato and russia agreed that russia should be more involved in supporting need to keep it is in afghanistan that they agreed to work together on a european missile defense system but there are other issues for instance that of urging russia to the knowledges decision to recognize. the summit did not discuss our initiative on the european security treaty is because i also believe there was no breakthrough on the c.f.e. treaty so odd say that was a summit of a major international organization concerned with security representatives of nato member states assess it as successful and we took note of its results nonetheless i want to stress we would really like to cooperate with nato in

such areas as maintaining security and of ghana stand and central asia drugs illegal migration terrorism and so on well indeed the latest russian nato council meeting has seen a real breakthrough corporation between the former and as many analysts say to make war on the agreements the chief of the lisbon in a report by spotlights. the words from the new strategic concept adopted by the alliance made opposes no threat to russia i considered the major political achievement of the it's been summit. have agreed. they're facing common threats like terrorism drug trafficking and the proof aeration the weapons of mass destruction and pledge to book a new era of cooperation we've worked hard to reset the relations between the united states and russia which has led to concrete benefits for both our nations now we're also resetting the nato russia relationship the most dramatic step

forward in russian media ruination is the prospect of a new missile defense shield for europe the us the should was a stumbling block in relations between moscow and the west known the two sides seemed ready to make it in joint pool chipped in we try to show would be responsible for handling ruled missiles from the east and nato from the west. we have agreed with our nato partners that we will pursue dialogue on european missile defense yeah i mean a good here should be that our participation ought to be equal i get it and i will stress this it can only be a support character because it would definitely take time to work out the details for cooperation in the defense experts agree this question the idea is revolutionary in itself. russia ever closer to real partnership in the. sense in september commenting on the suggestion for russia to join nato you said it

was unrealistic not to quote. i don't think russia should develop a discuss on this matter unquote. that's a joke but today nonetheless western and russian politicians seriously claim that this may happen sometime in the future. or so do you still believe that russia will never turn nato and that all those discussions are just a publicity stunt i haven't heard any russian politicians seriously discussing this matter. well right i know that many politic all analysts are discussing this issue first. i repeat i believe that russia doesn't need to change the existing security system there is a well established security system within the collective security treaty organization. this system includes countries which used to be together in the sabi it's union they share the same intelligence the same approach the same military

school the same structure of security forces the same agenda so it makes no sense to ted down what we already have and build something new with new partners in europe secondly there is a much cheaper option russia and the c.s. deal can interact with nato and that's exactly what we're talking about we can join these potentials and work together. so you believe that since there is no confrontation now. there's no need for us to join a tour in the longer right confrontation and as long time ago there is no cooperation either third i believe any discussion of this topic is harmful as it makes zero allies feel uncertain. we should be able to tell them clearly we take our stand with you with the c.s.t. you. we may be the leading country here but we're building this security system together with you. my next question is about. you mentioned when

you answered my first question. first and purpose with a serious c o. and i believe this was the first instance of such cooperation. to continue coordinating your work and cooperation and courage. and possibly other hot spots or was it a one time thing he did. was. actually we started coordinating our activities several years ago so we started discussing and evaluating various event. together and considering what we can do together from your words year kurdistan was the first instance where we called unaided our work not only with the sea but also with the un and in fact the e.u. but it's nearing the period of unrest the representatives of these four guys asians gathered and assessed for those events together and prepared their proposals on

stand allies in the situation and we continue doing so on other problems of central asia besides kurdistan's for instance we've been working together on the problem of the border on afghanistan i'm very grateful to the always see secretary-general mr ball for being so open to this cooperation. by the way some criticize the c.s.t. oh and we talked about that last time for not responding quickly enough to i think question is incurring a stand. the russian foreign ministry even said recently that's in causing serious crisis response mechanisms should be a priority what song do you think these mechanisms are developing now. they certainly are the next serious to summit to which will take place on december tenth will be devoted to these issues but actually one the leaders of the c.s.t. or countries met in europe than recently they spoke highly of c.s.t.

oh efforts our response to the current use crisis was prompt and effective we designed and recommended the measures which the presidents then approved of the reason for criticism was different we were criticized because we chose not to send up peacekeeping forces to kurdistan however considering the way you dance unfolded we see that we were right not to send military units there instead we focused primarily on helping the current as authorities and law enforcement agencies to restore order in the country says. the general of the collective security treaty organization will be back shortly will continue this interview in less than a minute so stay with us.

wealthy british style. markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy with. a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines kinds a report. welcome

back to spotlight time alvin often just to remind you that my guest in the studio today is. the general of the collective security treaty organization. that's been going to. do it since. the period of. time criticize the. but in the past to criticize it harshly for example moscow did not like the way the o.s.c.

morning to hold elections we didn't like their observers and in fact we question their conclusions there are no assess their evaluations of elections. strongly advocated a reform of the o c i remember much talk about the need to reform the o.e.c.d. yet the reform did not take place do you still think needs to be reformed it's not just my opinion it's all this is still member states think in fact before they believe the scene needs more than just a reform first it is necessary to establish the o.s.c. as a full blown international structure because it even doesn't have a charter or take the bureau for democratic institutions and human rights which monitors elections what the founding document was approved by all the always see members that its activity is a bayes dawns or does it operate simply based on what its officials want to do what the representatives of the c.s.t.

oh state suggest is that we should prepare some bylaws for the old scene general and for some of the structures two years ago the c.s.t. all member states released a special statement calling on other participants to reform the organization. the secretary general. in a newspaper article that i quote. the idea is to create a security community united states and the your atlantic and your asian regions its chances three quel real outlines in the context of the overseas summit in. december the first and second quote. considering the defects you mentioned nevertheless given mr laws understanding has become a new foundation for the new security system that president medvedev spoke about. yes it can. but only if the international security organizations support its activities the president of russia incidentally spoke about that too. we need

a legally binding treaty establishing a new security system in the euro atlantic area. but the treaty should include not only nations located in that region but also security organizations they deal with security issues in that region. would bring some specific decisions on afghanistan i'd like to discuss that in more detail. many believe it is high time something like a marshall plan for afghanistan was approved that which would not only put an end to the war but also provide ate and investments which is a basis for a new life in anything or at least agreed or even decided. i don't think so. who isn't ready i think what we can have is an in-depth discussion of security problems including those in central asia. and will of course

this cost of. the program. we can come to terms on starting this work but i don't think a star now will approve any specific decisions i believe will have a concerned discussion and outline some approaches and plans for the joint activities over those problems including afghanistan's problems then today's the weak link that defines the state of security in the central asian region and not only there. we know i think you know. that. georgia is going to request that the reset and its mission to south. and that issue russian with possibly one find itself in the minority or even isolation why can't russia find a compromise on that issue with the o's see it and why is it a scenario that. might go back to. this

picking it's not appropriate for me to speak on behalf of russia because after all i represent an international organization to want to think of the mission and the parties are looking for a compromise but it's a crucial issue we say that south a set up cause here are independent states while georgia says that they are georgian territory. accordingly was say there should be three separate missions for south. enjoy georgia says no. no you mean you're not against the mission or you know. if they send separate missions to a set. they will actually recognize them as independent states which is something they can. sure the dispute is about the positions of states no more than that i think a compromise is possible and the parties are looking for it but right now i can

give you the details of the. those talks. there's another interesting question of. internal ministers meeting. russia's security council secretary said this threats from transnational crime are emerging as the most ones for the entire civilization to pose them to the actions of international community are necessary. to fight the transnational crime we know about u. joint operation together with afghan and nato forces in afghanistan what else you know what we do today in the so-called challenges like drugs terrorism illegal immigration etc is precisely working to. the transnational crime from all that single out two things first drug trafficking most of them understandably so there are

a transnational international criminal groups operating in the field moreover their activities are well coordinated and we saw that particularly during the operation you mentioned and after it as we analyzed its results and received expert assessments and estimates and second which extremist groups we are observing some very serious processes in progress in central asia for example we have specific information indicating that some of them based extremist groups were implicated in the mass scale rioting in southern kurdistan they're examples where those extremist groups attempted to destabilize the situation in certain areas of the stand i mean they're becoming more active not long ago the taliban whose flag those groups light turned up on the north in northern afghanistan they are able to extend their influence to northern afghanistan and across the pounds revert to the territory of member states. this is why we agreed at the c.s.t.

zero interior ministers meeting that we should counter extremist activities in central asia. but everything i mentioned including organized criminal groups specializing in human trafficking is transnational crime that has to be dealt with their activities. are withing these problems. real then the threat of an armed conflict. as well as. visited many times i was told the history of the conflicts by both sides. can only be forced into looking for compromises. but that doesn't. see or no one else have the mechanisms to force the two states to look for compromise. i don't think

a compromise can be found through coercion. if they'll never come to terms on their own. agreement is bayes don't goodwill mutually acceptable agreement coercion. we can have peace enforcement by force. but you cannot enforce a compromise seeking. why has this process lasted for so long ten years because a compromise has to mature not only. be ready for it but the public opinion as well the nation should be ready for a compromise helping to resolve the deadlock and i don't think this can happen overnight at any rate i know one thing better than any war yes i agree so it makes no sense to ask you whether they. will bring any decisions on the court. you know you can ask me all right and the answer will be no i don't think any decisions will

be passed by the. it is likely to come up in discussion you say the situation is somewhat better now but on the other hand there are many a defense minister said the other day that in case of any contingency he was ready for a peace enforcement operation in relation to. in other words they're ready to go through all. the same thing they don't think to be willing for a compromise when you should what makes you think so they are looking for a compromise they don't want to be forced into that compromise but generally he said nothing out of the ordinary the armies are created to be ready for war this is why the minister said exactly what you should be saying but in reality only a compromise no combat operations no confrontation a compromise and a long wait perhaps for years another generation yes perhaps a new generation of politicians should come the whole finally settle the conflict yes this is how i see things it is my personal view but i think the parties should be looking for

a compromise expressive thank you very much for being with us and just a reminder that my gift to the studio today was to do that said the general the collective security treaty. and that's it for the hour from all of us here if you want to have your self talk live or maybe have someone do you think i should tell you next time to drop. the t.v. are you let's keep the show interactive we'll be back with more first and comment on the what's going on in and outside russia. id and take care. good samaritan. excellent professional.
