bayley populated by armenians was part of the soviet republic of azerbaijan after the collapse of the u.s.s.r. it declared independence which resulted in several years of armed conflict at truce was sided nine hundred ninety four russia france and the u.s. have been mediating talks since then and r.t. caught up with foreign ministers of both sides of the conflict watching their interviews throughout the day and we start with as ever john. what role does a bridge on playing stabilizing the caucasus region. a lot of course is your bridge johnnie's all for the settlement of all conflicts let's see. if we are talking about the situation with the nagorno-karabakh conflict defector often predictability is a crucial one. well considering the fact that over twenty percent of our territory was occupied and ethnically cleansed from all is very nationals i mean there is

literally not a single is eerie there it is hard to talk about good neighborliness and promote peace with regulations but anyway this is why i have come to moscow to continue searching for a peaceful solution in the two plus one format it took us as we're going to going to get a book on flex the declaration was signed in two thousand and eight and there's a passage there saying that certain measures are required to increase confidence in the military sphere could you please comment on those words explaining what they imply with this which is in this case we were talking about the context line between the armed forces of army and his ear buds on unfortunately despite signing for suspension of hostilities clashes still occur leading to deaths of both soldiers and civilians we are to take more effective measures to solve this issue there are mechanisms to foresee possibilities to decrease the tension all i have to

say that if the armenian armed forces withdraw from the occupied territories the factors of stability and predictability will be many times higher. up with a clear shot what sort term goals do you see in reaching the settlement. movements if the growth of we can speak of solving the nagorno-karabakh conflict in terms of short term goals there is a huge bundle of contradictions about it but the shelf creating predictability in the region can be a short term goal first and foremost to make attempts to decrease the military factor and first of all the military factor means the occupation of territories has been suggested and discussed for the past six years in the frog pro service and in the magic prayer. suppose suggested by the russian u.s. and french go chairman he's first and foremost related to phasing decision making

by phasing decisions we understand we grow coopting simple troops withdrawal facilitates the operating off communications the return of the displaced people encourages the work of economic institutions growth of the economic component and provides for peacekeepers' security there is a document saying you know what direction we should make steps it was suggested by the russian and u.s. and french cochairman and or it is an announcement at the latest g eight summit in canada. they say the devil's in the details and we are to decide on the details now of what i can assure you often is that it's impossible to preserve the current status quo but we are to do the utmost to find a way out of it with those that the victim of this that in a cube or two thousand and ten others on in there mean you have reached an agreement on an exchange of war prisoners and dead bodies was it fulfilled. with

the bill is still the question of course both the war prisoners and the dead bodies and there was a situation where the civilians were exchanged in arms to thank russia for their assistance president medvedev have personally committed to the resolution of this issue and in the end we reached a compromise in the situation where is it let's get a can we call it one of the first steps on the way to reach a settlement on the conflict. conflict that was that. you know i think the most important one was the declaration of two thousand and eight for the first time ever the presidents of us here by john armey and russia signed a joint declaration which is often referred to as the in mind or declaration or simply to moscow declaration which stipulates political criteria of conflict settlement like a conflict should be settled based on the principles of international law and in line with the relevant international agreements and resolutions there are four un

security council resolutions adopted back in one thousand nine hundred ninety three that are unfortunately being violated which also contain a cold to armenia to withdraw their troops when maziar by johnny territorial and underlined the importance of returning all the terminally displaced persons in refugees to their permanent places of residence you know easing military tensions after the doctrine of those un security council resolutions other international organizations followed suit. by adopting additional treaties or resolution by the european parliament a resolution by the parliamentary assembly of the council in europe there is aleutian by the organization for security and cooperation in europe we always see and bio you other international organizations who understand that settlement can only be reached gradually and that occupying its territory of another state is

absolutely unacceptable. then go see sions on the caspian sea convention could you tell us why the negotiations are so difficult and why this convention is needed at all what are the factors holding it back why the negotiations have lasted for so long. convince a fatalist national what let me start with a little prelude describing the background of this issue after the disintegration of the soviet union several new states emerged in the caspian area as only natural the legal regime that existed in the caspian area since the times of the soviet union and iran had to be modified taking into account the mergence of us here by john because us done japan is dan plus of course the russian federation and iran in this context negotiations began with the purpose of defining the legal status of the caspian sea in what form and which poured should be divided in what idea

the reason for the division of the caspian sea. they have lasted for a rather long time a force the crucial thing is how to asked made the historical period i mean whether or not twenty years is long enough a historical period or it is not the sort of thing. on the whole however this question does exist because there is a whole tangle of different problems starting from ecology which incidentally we managed to cope with successfully and shipping fishing and so on as far as i know iran failed to recognize the tripartite agreement between russia as a bridge on and kazakhstan one of the supreme and he had to be discussed with a ring in call leagues. the theme that we've coordinated with the russian federation in kazakhstan the demarkation of the caspian sea along the median line

in accordance with the coastline has found its legal coral duration and is actually an agreement as you said between your budge on the russian federation and kazakhstan. iran has an approach of its own generally we believe that this approach doesn't reflect the. that have taken shape in the caspian area yes for turkmenistan its approach is generally in support of the median line but we have different points of calculation in how to figure out where the median line is but this in no way prevents us from developing by letter and positive tendencies in other matters and that's what's causing it but what is it that makes iran dissatisfied with the median line demarkation opening to be an office that basically the reigning side wants twenty percent of the caspian which doesn't reflect the existing realities and what we have come to terms with on the russian side and the kazakhstan side on

the whole there is a common understanding with the turkmen side would say this if four states accept the medium line principle the fifth state accordingly ought to join the majority of the iranian side is aware that the negotiations should be continued you know order to find common ground in a way out of the predicament and in principle i'm rather optimistic that over time we'll resolve this problem. yes there is a view that as a bridge on to some extent is playing on the contradictions regarding the south stream pipeline its own gas both to e.u. and russia and it says it has enough resources doesn't really have enough resources let's listen to some of us a lot of what i can hardly gree would you worry this word contradiction says concerned i don't think it's quite correct our position is this we should in the first place disengage politics from commerce from the commercial point of view as is only natural every energy producing country seeks to come to markets that are of

most interest for it in the sense that they can offer a decent price for its energy resources. as far as deliveries concerned all options here are still open for as in our negotiations we are guided by considerations of national interests and commercial tensional is of course a key part of those considerations if there is a good price it should be offered and delivered them and. he mentioned some important environmental issues related to the development of the caspian sea that were addressed could you elaborate on that which is that within this cause a little first of all caspian state leaders decided to stablish a war group that was to come up with propositions regarding the preservation of sturgeon and there is spawning sites since the preservation of sturgeon and was deemed very important all measures have been considered all the way opportune

posing a total ban on sturgeon fish and there are different grades of sturgeon and it's a commonwealth of all the five caspian states a lot of did the b.p. oil spill in the gulf of mexico have any impact on the decisions taking in the field. is that units that you know environment related to requirements to oil companies have become stricter of course that's where the gas extra. the shelbourne environment protection he's not as pressing the areas with a while but would the global experience and international standards according to which underwater pipelines are lead nothing bad has happened so for our experience of offshore oil extraction for the book who believe com pipeline shows that if all international standards are observed most projects are quite feasible that you. will in the final question concerns more the sphere of international relations thereby john share the concerns of the international community about the iranian

nuclear program. because that's a you know i was here by john has a clear position regarding peace any i.e. member state he's entitled to its own peaceful nuclear program if it is in line with the i.a.e.a. regulations and peaceful nuclear cooperation it is possible and justified if you like that minister thank you very much for your time thank you. bringing you the latest in science and technology from around. the future covered hungry for the full story we've got it for. the biggest issues get

not traded in his to get seen by the australian finished last year and will no doubt the to rediscover the form which saw him crowned two thousand and seven when a stone a certain appearing comfortable in his new saddle topping the opening day time sheet or hill around so meanwhile faces the challenge of holding on to the number one spot the reigning champion proceedings before still this one. and finally a brewery in a hokey club just one of the many things that sets like a mighty of applause in the continental hockey league convention but out of continues a series of reports on the teams that make up the. built on the banks of the wall the yaroslavl is one of russia's oldest cities and all with thousand years old it has been made it world heritage site but there is

a more recent history which has also put the city on the map its ice hockey team have been crowned russian champions three times and have now set their sights on lifting the going cup for the first time in the cage shell trying to make it happen is head coach wudinna would like the sixty three year old czech had led local t.v. to two national titles and came out of retirement to take up the latest challenge and i returned here because i really missed hockey after retiring i've worked here previously and everything's how it was eight years ago i feel comfortable at this club like the right person in the right place and i'm sure it's the right decision to come back however it's not the coach who can do the business himself on the ice this season thirty six year old veteran powell demitra joined the committee for rolling back the years to become the ruki would most boring so far this year was a little bit nervous before before or before i got here a couple days. after after a couple mizar so i find out it's

a very nice very nice a very good organisation and so far so far. i'm glad i met him and dimitra is not the only for english enjoying his time at the club carlotta who is a familiar face around the sports the czech returning to euro slower for the third time in his career and this season he's got the or no if wearing the legacy on his jersey keeping this side for the first time. jaroslava has stellar ice hockey traditions and the locals adore it that's why the arena is always full and the facilities for players a very good i would say even better than in many n.h.l. clubs. along with a sad letter and there are many youngsters in the squad meaning there is the tried and trusted formula a few thought and experience in the mountains you know so long as you've system is considered to be one of the best in the country and regular produces players full committee and the national team including two up and comers who won gold with russia at the junior world championships last month beauty which

was one of them which i've developed through the youth system here and it's a real honor for me to play and look at my chief all the fans know you and follow your progress they know that i'm local and probably have more empathy and i'd love to continue my career at the club the end of the regular season is approaching fast look how many of have all but secured first place in the western conference enjoying a solid cushion at the summit they're playing with no end of confidence so it's no wonder that the hockey arena spec nightly with smiling spectators self rounds of. quality is a few rounds at one of the best arenas in the country that is always sold out but also their very own brewery chairs. the development a few are slowly along with advancement of local ice hockey has always been connected with the russian railway company they bankrolled the club their cash is will come in and believe the teams is definitely heading in the right direction.

whether it will stop short of the going cup the season is a tight one to call but at the moment they seem to have the momentum to succeed. because they are g. jaroslav. this hour coming up is the weather and the main headlines with marry them.
