hello yellow welcome to spotlight the international party i'm going to play my guest in the studio is at the scene at the chin. turkey is actively campaigning for its candidate to fill in the chair of the scene secretary-general other campaigners are promoting well trained and experienced diplomats but these terrible says europe will never find anybody with such a neutral position as their man however there's resistance to turkish can look coming from irony going on in the meantime what is this trouble trying to bargain from moscow we're asking the special representative of the president of turkey a european security at the scene at. the end rest of the arab

world started late last year in tunisia where rioters forced the head of state out of office yet rest we can spread across north africa and end with a long standing regime in egypt and with ongoing protests in bahrain libya and yemen the air in the middle east is hot and many of the demonstrators are demanding the turkish model of democracy they told to reap the benefits of its unique merging of his land and secularism has created one of the world's strongest growing economies rivaling brazil and china. mr rich and welcome to the show thank you very much for being with us. thank you very much for picking to me mr rich and can you tell us a couple words about your candidacy for the air we see what's what's the main things that worry you today well this time a candidate right i spent most of my career in international organizations and in particular in the c.s.c.

or is it was a third of i'm following actively you see it's you it's the process from the cold war years see today is. going through a billy painful period and our son a summit meeting did not yield itself fact the result. or ac should play a role. in lot of conflicts and creating a more secure safer when ross more prosperous and prosperous iraq began eurasia region so turkey has decided at this point of time is it your asian country. to nominate seniors a diplomat who is an expert on the or c. so if i'm elected i would be particularly focusing on the. cross the striking the balance among the three dimensions whole milk political

military but dimension economic and environmental dimension and human than a dimension and of course the issue is to break the conflict cycle as we heard a few minutes ago we should break the conflict cycle and be should just put off the conflicts before being blasted so i am planning if i'm elected that i'm planning to be a beary active. good secretary general. in full correlation with the chairman office and of course with the support of the who to six persuaded states and spotlight will have their very own front of the very top you. yes that's true most of the protesters in the arab world today they say that they would like to see a turkish model of democracy in their countries after these part of the uprising do you think that this may happen and if it will happen do you think that the turkish

model will work in the a rabid political culture well. in perth. i'm not in a position to operational respond this question. here. in my capacity. for us here but in my personal capacity i can say that. turkey may be a source of inspiration but cannot set a model turkey has a different history different. wal-mart of republican history and arab regimes have a different work rather so we do not thing the model of turkey so-called model of turkey. a secular democratic country with a predominantly muslim population. does not set a model for delusion but it's a good source of inspiration and

a source of inspiration right well well you sound a very russian intel i mean the ideology you're of course heard that this russian idea of a sovereign democracy like you see when americans say you're democracy doesn't look like the american democracy we see we're starving democracy so some people think it's funny some people are serious about it do you think that really. the democratic rule in every country should be well maybe not sort of a special there should be a special type of democracy for every culture every part of the world is not true world not exactly. of course there are certain rules of democracy universal in. universal rules of democracy the basics of democracy basic pillars of the democracy this is what gives inspiration yes should remain the same of course the. u.n. . and other international organizations have. set

the norms but. taking into consideration the internal dynamics and the evolution of a country historically will push another country there might be nuances but i don't think. we can define democracy according to the conditions of each and every country but we are against imposing certain rules on people look what's going on in the middle eastern countries the people's will. you know seen in this streets they have in you know. articulated what they wanted in a peaceful manner in egypt and then eventually pull twenty days the president they sort of kill name in the country. are compelled to accept.

because what the why is why prime ministers made it clears. the people bring and people are no. rulers so so what you saying is very interesting is that we may stick to different to specific rules in different countries in order to keep universal principles that the principles are universal the rules may be rules may vary nuances you want your answers could be different because as i said before. the. history of all the countries are different. in turkey in the middle east that's why b.b. should not really in pause early demands. and the conditions are ripe cultures that are ripe for this year initial program you know the question related to what's happening in egypt some of the countries in the in the arab world

. people in the west most of the politicians think that any popular uprising is good this is going to be change for the better for democracy in someone many people in russia are less optimistic they think that these these popular unrest may mean destabilisation in these countries and things may change the worst what do you think what's your point of view do these things necessarily lead to destigmatize ation and do they necessarily lead to more democracy the world when we look at these three. popular show up you will see. caused changes. but because first instead of the thing called blood blood shed. i do not. say our i do not agree because each and every our people. would lead to

a stable happy and security and prosperity. more in agreement. with the russian people it depends how just the cause is behind the up people. worrying thing about was going on in the region now is the possible raise of the number refugees coming to europe may this be a problem. which is saying. you're talking about the big ration probably believes iraq yeah well me gratian. of course particularly important issue for the impression organizations. it would be have a bitter experience in that regard we have more than five million migrant for cross and migrant workers. ok should migrant workers in europe in

turkey is a route is a major route for migrants through each of the e.u. for my immigration turkey is a transit country. a destination country. country of source but no more transit country gratian if the haas country is not well prepared because as always there problems on both sides on the last comment and on the side of migrant workers sometimes. they lose their lives when crossing the seas with their billy you know primitive boss do you think migration can pose a threat to security into key in european countries well. security. particularly from the oil sea point of view is indefensible each and every issue can. threaten the security also the gratian may cause.

some problems from the social point of view and not hardcore security but it may it may cause some security problems on both sides again. gratian issue is like a double edged sword says as a chain the special representative of the president of turkey security spotlight will be back shortly to break so stay with us. ah. that is the tom foreman and logo is told me of creation of the global food system the global food system is not created to feed the people of the world is created to maximize the profits. journal trading the

actual physical grain your trading promises for grain to be delivered a month or six months or twelve months or eighteen months in the future. for reasons modulator silver or gold that can be negotiated and afforded to some degree in. place. yet or. possibly it's not traded now. but it could be in the future. of offering a free. in

russia would be sandwich prices. move from funds to. start on t.v. dot com. welcome back to spotlight and i'll bring up in just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is seen as a chain the special representative of the president of turkey european security. mr ching many observers even in russia and especially in the west today speak about

the elevation turkish role. in the world in general and especially in the middle east they say the influence of saudi arabia is falling and the role of turkey is increasing those turkey does ankara share this assessment. while. there's a certain. activism in the turkish foreign policies and sometimes. it's hard to ignore. the comically. going well we have overcome the difficulties originating from the global economic crisis and. we are pursuing a proactive foreign policy in the region and zero problem policy holds to be made. peace. with all of our neighbors all and be our lifting. requirements

a bit. and in your piece cultural is in making by the initiative or thirty. some years ago would be impossible to see. prime minister papandreou seeing in turkey. and being for the opening of the ambassador daniel in brussels corporals for example has a cyprus problem here well because of several problems in cyprus. it's not a problem between turkey and greece because there are intercommunal talks continue but in general turkey economically and politically. are considered one of the emerging countries and it's more effective and it has more weight in its region and beyond i'll tell afghanistan ok well the turkish government recently has been pretty outspoken in defense of the people of gaza

do you think that we should expect maybe we should expect the lifting of located. that has been there for many many years. i love to mistake it in this respect or not. again i can't answer those questions in my personal capacity which i'm not in a position. you know on the health of my government but of course turkey has depended cause depended by several other peoples on the countries in the world and we want to keep our optimism in that regard one of the questions one of the problems of this concern is in russia today is the play and time missile defense that you know saves the clowns two to set their

anti missile sites close and russian borders and of course the russians are mostly worried that such missiles may be may be based in the former soviet republics for example in georgia but on the other hand we hear that and the alternative is to deploy these these anti missiles in turkey do you think that turkey will be prepared to become to become a base for these these elements of the american anti-missile shield first of all it's not american it's nato here in the name in the last little summit meeting. and in principle a gleeman agreement was reached so the details are still worked thought but of course in principle he has the people if it's called science well and as a nato country as an apricot is not a south american i'm correct in that it's it's

a nato project that i guess the missiles will be american but the project today is now a joint nater project. if any to protect its native. would would do people in turkey think about it how they i mean other k. with their missiles because people in russia not only journalists like myself but people they're worried about them. we don't want these things even close to our territory what about the troops what do they think well turkey is a democratic country there are people supporting this idea there are people against but in general the people stayed behind a decision taken by the government so they're not really working or you're not they don't consider as a threat no one why should it be that rope you start to targeting turkey it's not true targeting anybody else but it's one of the policies of nato decidedly in nato it's part of collective defense saw i think we do not see is a threat to anyone well then you might. explain to me why

are the russians so much afraid of those of those anti-missile systems here for the russians is it just a political principle i mean they don't want it because it's coming from the west coming from nato from the united states or do they have so as some of the reasons to be afraid of well. the world is because the. you know big wars and ideological divisions for the entire twentieth century saw a deep pastrana was. its normal posture or was a continue for some time and it will take some time for russia. to trust on the west old or nato russia hostile yeah it's a very world working body but i think those fears or concerns are mostly political so so so you think it's not it's not a matter of principle or some sort of a like

a poker game that there is a russian diplomacy is playing with the west it's more of a psychological matter like a post that was manic syndrome in this country as my perception because we have not . i can't talk about we do not perceive russia as a threat since a long time b.c. russia is a stupid strategic part of the authority so so so i mean maybe we just have to wait for a new generation the next generation of politicians of diplomats to come to come to power to office well to help to help. get us closer to true that's very true in fact. most of thoughts fears and concerns. psychologically psychological reasons behind them well i know a year you mentioned an interesting thing you said the truth he's trying to make friends with all of the neighbors. but nearly all of the neighbors well i know that syria is following the situation in the north caucasus clearly what's your what's

your personal attitude to the situation notably kind of back and is it is it in any any way any similar to to the russian attitude to to the same. well. i can't answer this question is a candidate. you would see. because if i am elected i will be representing six countries including armenia and azerbaijan so since the last time this conflict conflict situation is going on it was called frauds and it's good to name to a protracted conflict this should be solved through the particular person we are against the use of force and miss group established to within the context of toys see. the chairmanship of. the russia process and the united states work well we

are also in the midst group turkey is also in the misc group. should find yeah people solution and this all ties that we are hearing the words the use of force. of course in today's world and under today's conditions. you know sun doing well so we want an early resolution of the all of corporate problem through the efforts of miss group so in that regard we are in the same boat. hugh said you're hearing the words use of force in resolving conflict from who i am hearing these words you know i made the point in principle i'm not hearing. those words maybe some years ago but they are giving i think there's a particular chair's of resolving this problem through the diplomatic means and

climb the state heads of states of course countries are getting together. it could actually i am personally optimistic also. russian role is so important in resolving this problem you know it's been a mystery for me for for many years now because i remember i witnessed it as a journalist when the indian government conflict was burned like like it was a major fire in the south caucasus in this country in soviet union but now for many many years both sides rimini and journeyers the governments the presidents the the air analysis ordinary people nobody no longer speaks about going to work nobody is saying out i don't know about the their minds out loud nobody is voicing their what you said that the use of force and you just said the same thing so why can't they come to peace for every start you know

a peaceful solution nobody's talking about war but still they can come to to peaceful solution was really sure we also know with britain the generation. use of force is out. plaited concept. in walking the use of force is not resolving the problems is getting it's making them more complicated but not only in the area but elsewhere in the world wherever the conflict. you know blasts it tends to be chronicled on. in the years to come because the republic of union protector of public opinion protector of changing governments the fact of elections. you know it's going on and on in the caucus area and trust history an area for georgia something some other events took place but the use of force has never been and is particularly in today's conditions is not acceptable to

the international community thank you thank you very much for being with us and just to remind you that my guest in the studio today one of the special representative of the president of turkey a new conspiracy mr pearce in change and that is all from all of us for the moment if you want to have your sense part like you can always try to do that with more free time comments on what's going on in and outside russia until then they are to thank you and different.
