robeson. this is are your headlines now working with nato to prevent a new arms race forging closer ties with foreign partner those are the top priority . for the federal. big test as he tries to break republican opposition and use his final chance to push past. reduction treaty with russia. the last call russia is among those preparing the final big presentation to host the two thousand and eighteen football world cup the winner will be announced today. through the

capital of. before the trial of the republic's government officials comes ahead of a visit by u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton. well next we'll look at how to tackle the drug threat and stop the flow of heroin into russia the issues under focus in spotlight with that's coming up right now. how again though welcome to spotlight on r.t. . today my guest is. the organization for

security and cooperation here at this holding its meeting this week in the. leaders that coming to discuss threats to their each one of the biggest challenges is the drug trade from afghanistan their recent joint. operation was a success and many experts i've now advocating closer to work between nato russia and afghanistan but what are going to have the muscle and now to boost the coalition efforts in afghanistan his general of the collective security treaty. the forthcoming always seesawing. will feature leaders of the top political and military blocs the u.s. nato and europe presenting europe and america will join the cia. 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 is possible the c.e.o. 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 today. just listens 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. well firstly the o.e.c.d. hasn't held a summit for eleven years but it's and now it's happening in a with because i stand as a siesta member state chairing it the very fact that the top government officials

are meeting to discuss security issues is a very important achievement. and for our 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 you 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 beckons from where you said i quote. position is the exact opposite of c s t o there is no consensus among nato members regarding cooperation with the c.s.t. oh they obviously prefer. from the viewpoints on which are in 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 o firstly the sum into adopted need is new strategic concept secondly the summit took 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 i also believe there was no breakthrough on the c.f.e. treaty so odds say that was a summit of a major international organization concerned with security representatives of need to member states assess it as successful we for our part took note of its results nonetheless i want to stress we would really like to cooperate with nato in

such areas as maintaining security in afghanistan and central asia drugs illegal immigration terrorism and so on well indeed the latest russian nato council meeting has seen a real breakthrough corporation between the former and tackiness as many analysts say to make war on the agreements to achieve the lisbon in a report by spotlights. two words from the new strategic concept adopted by the alliance native poses no threat to russia or considered the major political achievement of those been summit no school in brussels have agreed they're facing threats like terrorism drug trafficking and the proof aeration the weapons of mass destruction and pledged to embark on 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 made a rule 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 treasure would be responsible for handling ruled missiles from the east and made it from the west. with our nato partners that will pursue dialogue on european missile defense yeah a good here should be that our participation ought to be equal edited and i will stress this it can only be. because we can definitely take time to work out the details for cooperation in the sound defense experts agree this question the idea is revolutionary in itself. and russia ever closer to real partnership in the. sense in september commenting on the suggestion for russia to join nato was

unrealistic. i don't think russia should develop a discuss on this matter you unquote missed that. but today nonetheless western and russian politicians seriously claim that this may happen some time in the future. or so do you still believe that russia will never turn nato. discussions or just a. stunt i haven't heard any russian politicians seriously discussing this matter i'm sure and also get your guns well right i know that many political analysts are discussing this issue first of all 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 soviet 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 tear 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. so there is no need for us to journey to a new longer confrontation and a 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 should we take our stand with you with the c.s.t. you. we me be the leading country here. where building this security system

together with you. my next question is about. you mentioned when you answered my first question. co-ordinated surface and purpose with a serious c.e.o. . and i believe this was the first instance of such cooperation. to continue coordinating your work and cooperation and kurdistan and possibly other hotspots was it a while. thing you know that. actually we started coordinating our activities several years ago so we started discussing and evaluating various events together and considering what we can do together. kurdistan was the first instance where we coordinated 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 representatives of these four organizations

gathered and assessed those events together and prepared their proposals on standardizing of 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 bush on board for being so open to this cooperation. by the way some criticize the safest hero and we talked about that last time for not responding quickly enough to i think questions encourage. the russian foreign ministry even said recently that enhancing syria crisis response mechanisms should be a priority what 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. countries met in your iran 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 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. courage is authorities and law enforcement agencies to restore order in the country says new. general all the collective security treaty organization spotlight will be back shortly will continue to fit into view in less than a minute so stay with us. it

was created to serve public interests to inform and to entertain. these days there's nothing easier than opening a new media outlet but there is nothing harder than revoking its license in case of corruption. when just. stand. control. you can involve in a community where you have one large corporation controlling the daily newspaper radio stations television stations the cable outlets you tell me that that sounds like democracy public opinion versus f.c.c. broadcast blues on a marquee wealthy british style. time to. market

why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause a report on our. welcome back to spotlight time al gore not been just to remind you that my guest in the studio today is nikolaj but i think general of the collective security treaty organization. has been going to. do it since two thousand and five and two thousand and six the period of khaled's revolutionists. kurdistan criticize the or so. we. see 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 the service and in fact we question their conclusions there are no losses and 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. needs to be reformed it's just my opinion it's well 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 are the founding documents approved by all the always see members that its activities are based on 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 generals and for some of the structures two years ago the sea is still number stays relieved the special statement calling another participants to reform the organization. the segments or a general. response in a newspaper article that i quote. the idea is to create a security community and the states in the euro plan taken eurasian regions its chances three quel real outlines in the context of the overseas summit in. december the first and second quote that. 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 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 q one but the treaty should include not only nations located in that region but also security organizations they deal with security issues in that region. it would bring some specific decisions on afghanistan but 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 aid and investment which is a basis for a new life can anything of that sort be at least agreed or even decided upon. 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. them 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 today is the weak link that defines the state of security in the central asian region and not only there. we know i think you know to. go in to request that the reset and its mission to south. and that issue russian with possibly one find itself in the minority or even in isolation why can't russia find a compromise on that issue with the o c 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. and georgia georgia says no. no you mean you're not against the mission or you know. if they send missions to. 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't

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

are 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 each 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 based extremist groups were implicated in the mass scale rioting in south in kurdistan they're examples where those extremist groups attempted to destabilize a 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 criminal groups specializing in human trafficking is transnational crime that has to be dealt with their activities. we think these problems are more real than the threat of an armed conflict. as well as. have 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. can it be done if they will never come to terms on their own. of agreement is bayes don't goodwill mutually acceptable agreement coercion. we can have peace and meant 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 some. 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 from all. sides the same thing they don't seem to be willing for a compromise on 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 he should be saying but in reality only a compromise no combat operations no confrontation a compromise and a long wait perhaps for years and generations yes perhaps a new generation of politicians should come the whole final is settled the conflict yes this is how i see things it's my personal view but i think the parties should

be looking for a compromise. thank you very much for this and just to remind that my gift to the studio today was to do that in 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 think i should tell you next time. are you let's keep the show interactive we'll be back with more comment on the what's going on in and outside russia. id and take care. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get
