possible to deal with taliban terrorists in a language other than again the russians should now the answer they tried everything. my guest is the presidential special envoy to afghanistan that coupled . with nato nutro the ration of ghana staff has been going on even longer now than the soviet campaign there in the eighty's but the book says in just three years it will hand over to afghan forces in several areas of the country however security and stability are still rare in many regions of afghanistan the wave of violence is now its. highest since the taliban regime was toppled ten years ago this makes some military experts say the withdrawal of needed troops is premature and the warfare must continue. her mr koppel thank you for joining us on the show so well first of all. then a stand is in the news today once again because foreigners have faced outrage in
3:34 pm
this country after a preacher in a florida has burned a book of koran jury in one of his ceremonies in the united states in the city of mazar e sharif people have stormed the human can pound they killed three staff members and killed four guards is does that mean the situation in the country is getting out of control completely can you confirm that or not i would assume for the moment that is getting out of control there is still some reserves are if i may put it so you this way but these are all reactions in mazar e sharif reflects. all that afghanistan's population of course of the secretion of koran is very much hurting for and sensitive issue for any muslims in the rulebook in afghanistan who's
3:35 pm
a muslim population suffered for at least ten last year or spliced the previous so they are even more sensitive to any acts like well i have a quote here from the turkish president here's what he says quote we are involved there in afghanistan not only in the war but we should help the afghan people normalize life two thousand and eleven is a critical year for afghanistan as the coalition will start leaving soon and. but well you were talking about the situation the country do you think that the row of turkey as a regional power and some other regional powers will be increasing after the coalition leaves to to to keep the situation somehow and to control which we started talking here first the world i think it's still premature for discuss a coalition living situation according to the recent decisions of need to or
3:36 pm
two thousand and fourteen is the benchmark all the. causation for cells and we'll still be beyond all these the really yeah those of course so they may change the labor laws as they claim they're going to train ph about at the same time they will keep quite a significant military presence of that's why i don't think i think we will be. turned into a go into the north here it's not the uk but anyway it's a very positive statement by talking all i hold they will be able to materialise these. regional centers are what would you say that bad the role of iran and how that another huge legal power and the relative and it's kind of this country is also very significant and the west is not happy about it is oh you're
3:37 pm
right about our i would say that you ran strongly regardless than even is even more important the truth is iran has its own legitimate interests in this country because of national security issues iran has a contribution a lot in terms of economy the role of dog i'm gonna start and. the steel horse so more than two million are going to refute or and so on sorrell and of course iran has a lot on. page you not going to stand and the same time we many times heard from iranian officials about their concerns so are all the american military presence in afghanistan be believe this president's is a that's the iraq iranian influence another regional power pakistan neighboring pakistan secret services and not only the secret services but but well
3:38 pm
practically officially was supporting the taliban a lot now after the regime change has this situation changed or is it isn't continuing the support oh really. pakistani officials. state that many times them favor over something on and stabilization of ghana's and they denied any in wal-mart in supporting the government forces are are going on to go on all sides but at the same time there is a growing three hundred five. then in taliban fighters under their structures so they have a network a logistical and other sort of. deploring on the pakistani sorel so if by just one really wants to conduct the policy that the owner of the state or them
3:39 pm
declare at least should address some of this very important problem of the same things and they are not doing it they are doing they did quite well in sol for the stand out last year about everybody goes so that very huge taleban and priests are all on the government for since they have have so safely i mean certainly in northern waziristan in biologist. and some other political agencies in the pakistan and the tribal areas has a certain i was a part of the tribal. ok we have been talking about geopolitics around afghanistan for the last five minutes you haven't yet mentioned india which is a great ally and a big friend of russia by the way india i think it's the second largest sponsor of stand behind iran but ahead of the united states so china and pakistan they don't like in india sponsorship because they think it threatens their interests in the
3:40 pm
region what sorts wasco that is to do you do you live to see india's role increasing that. india are is along of the diggers dawn or reconstruction of of yellowstone the a lot and the as your dimension of the indies are called one of the closest part of the russian federation and not only in our gonna start and we believe that the india play is playing and can really construct a role in stability chicago sun as for allegation those are all those congress you mentioned well they have history of difficulties between them and the so history i'm afraid steel costs shade or. their region of india is for all of our guns on the. p.t. because we russians are part of the region we're interested in corporation when are gonna stand because we really believe in real in
3:41 pm
a regional approach healthier regional approach or a force that will. gramma's from is not possible result participation of such countries like india china pakistan and iran but india is literally at war with pakistan everybody knew who was in there in kashmir and have been there and those that they are it who are actually i think. i've been i'm afraid it's a little bit overstated munter going to war in the recently. leave the result of india and pakistan start out the new raw deal of improvement the relations and we should remember both well of course it's a very slow and difficult process and the men a miles to be cowered ahead but. they are not at war and get to build a very dangerous not only for the region about for the all the world if used to
3:42 pm
employ the congress of the region will be in war because of their actually nuclear powers and that's so that's why we don't like them to be in the such a great and the whole part of the will not reach the stage in their bilateral that we are still aiming at each other of the i mean the soldiers and the officers and you you spoke of might have fields many many hundreds. of minefields over there are also a problem i know a lot of all the places in the rural i'm sure you also know all there with the same situation but that doesn't mean that perhaps we will stage a war in so called oh was a patient perhaps the groom them but it's really important for us with all these to even come for us to improve for a very a bilateral relations for the sake of grandson i was once your son see we started by talking about this terrorist situation now in afghanistan after this after this
3:43 pm
koran burning in in america going to a study commissioned by the united nations i quoted violent attacks against humanitarian aid workers have tripled tripled during the last decade with more than one hundred deaths reported annually is the current wave of riots some think something exceptional in this respect. no or perhaps it's not exceptional and so exceptional in view of overall military political situation i'm stunned we know that. taliban insurgency increasing or the zune of its operation on the contrary. they are focusing not only our own nato i'd south american military style ations they are trying to target and everybody not only for almost bought a local as well and aid workers are soft targets for them and easy to reach
3:44 pm
and that's why they're becoming victims so all the war says and best there is that need kabul the presidential special envoy to afghanistan spotlight will be back shortly after the day of great failed state wayne la will continue to. players. they come in the thousands. some long play which suggests others wants to take her spirits see what she does the jesus of the river. there.
3:45 pm
is nothing in her system is silly or reversed such a thing adrenalin smarties lists. chosen from among many. she was given a clear cut mission. a mission he successfully accomplished. became the first several months in outer space. hero of the soviet union one of the best known persons in the whole world. all his thoughts were focused on slums. could he ever think that his life's work would cost him his life. one happened in those few seconds. and what seemed good season sealed the barrels still. keurig are in
3:46 pm
place when our team wealthy british scientists. cut. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with a much stronger or a no holds mobile financial headlines tune in to cause a report on r t. i welcome back the spotlight i'm now going over and just to remind my guest on the show today is so i mean a couple of the presidential special envoy to afghanistan well here's all three
3:47 pm
you've already told us that this declaration that two thousand and fourteen will be the the date when the coalition forces will complete those are all this is not actually the exact date because the this is this is one of the dates one of the dates of the process but actually the military presence will continue as a fourteen and we're not looking at looking at a big added as of. force from from afghanistan but in this respect can we can we visit such threats and many experts are talking about it as a sort of an expert of extremist export of terrorism out time against unfortunately yes we have these sort of phenomenon now we have of the prior to school struggle in one when the we had a network of training camps in afghanistan were. found on sort
3:48 pm
of people from different countries so got so i'll towards the training and there were i've done sound and used them utilize. sure quite knowledge sure well all the world. circumstances of course. i'm going to sort. lucy's mostly busy with school rushing with foreign forces and are going to local government forces but we are afraid that. later on the eve good for b. they will have a hand and number or part of insurgency who are professional warriors already and they may try to find and huge orphan fields or other and knowledge to be applied to apply that's possible it's one seconds it was not my judgment that americans are will stay in or against them beyond two thousand and
3:49 pm
fourteen as a statement of the president of the united states of america and they tore officials of the. soul and they want to establish sure permanent or long standing military bases in against them you can just imagine in these volatile rural i mean first of all lived out of the world and got us from was all volatile for the last forty years i don't believe that those islamic extremists who are fighting americans now they will be he always the military bases on our gun soil in the neighborhood it may be good to me galvanize prove their extremist activity and we will give impulse and impetus to a continuation of spreading of these disease most people have some say that they're throwing their occupation is that chile fueling the taliban says and seeing what's
3:50 pm
russia's official line in this were a lot of russian official position is very close to the position that we don't believe we're in a foreign occupation because it's indeed fuels. for at least two reasons and afghanistan that many insurance hall fighting for most of the view forums as crusaders and readers. are guns are very much a letter to any foreign military presence of their country and they are independent of. many other most of the countries also well answer to the world but now they are much more sensitive due to their recent history. that's why of course we are not we don't believe in a long form presence to be to have a start the lies in effect that scenes these operation started ten years or
3:51 pm
girl and we also don't believe in military solution but we don't believe in middle or social it was i would economy action inside of us them. americans and labor force of the doesn't want to do it i would have to remind them are worse was written by a review of kipling's or just on the end of the nineteenth century he wrote that if you are days and confused by the stones bain's and the fourth of withdrawal is all that remains then. change you rethink then. quit solution building and rethink your aim and fight the real enemy balder. where well he knows he knew what to what to say because the privilege have been try to quite a career against that from the self for ages and ages and all failed and all failed
3:52 pm
yeah. the russians still there they tried to come from the north and they also feel i mean i mean even before the bolsheviks in the eighteenth century nineteenth century. twenty years ago when russia was fighting a war in afghanistan america wasn't directly involved but it was pretty firm still and it sort of enjoyed the situation of all of its influence while russia well russia was doing the fighting now america is fighting nato is finally russia is looking from the side trying to coordinate trying to help trying to this russia enjoy this situation more than it did how do we change sides in this political situation or not exactly russia has all the rights to enjoy every situation but we don't do it for the simple reason because our own national interest to the security is in the midst. those who are well far from being in power in during the ration to
3:53 pm
grow so we don't want the needle and america has failed because we will have to call with their implications of their failure that's why we indeed wish them success but it's in what means success start realizing your younger son in all turns your military economy economy and leave country single spalls well this certainly is one of the main lessons that. modern invaders have to learn from the previous including the russians are there any other lessons. except get the air out of there are there any other lessons that nato should learn from the say the experience of aniston's. a lot. it's a military political bloc. should understand that they should come into are gonna stand with the economy because our grandson will stay after their departure if they
3:54 pm
want to leave afghanistan people for good positive memory they should start doing economy and are gonna start reconstruction the world and run. other ways so. bitter memories all why are our guns so we'll spread to album was slowing down which the russian fed the soviets did a lot of it's now nicholas in that they were racially a lot the things not only should they did only do the shooting but they did the building exactly exactly. they tell as far as i heard from the press has managed to to to to diminish the casualties among civilians and against them and i mean as a result of their operation is it true is the situation that we should never say as a representative person. when it comes to the starkest the called the last year it's not your true one. that's right now they're trying their best to do it so i'm not always successfully. there is
3:55 pm
a desire and we can save these for about for the time being the number of casualties for a heart. mate so has said to have trained and hundred fifty thousand troops afghan soldiers to to defend their own country they think that once the foreigners start getting away these soldiers trained by nato will be able to to to stand against taliban. i would like to add though that besides abuse almost one hundred. one hundred feet the thought on the afghan army personnel. support to train almost one hundred twenty thousand policemen well the minister of interior is one third of a million drivers you have a number of posts but one comes through our quantity of things look. like ok but i agree what is a question a problem is
3:56 pm
a quality. these are gone out of me a bit so one so not for no time on the soviet union and in the partnership was a soviet union was one of the most capable and strongest army of the regions now doesn't have air force i can on the range i'm there any army in the world to be capable of fighting because our acreage was one the second i'm going out again as well as police nor is not sure with the weapons and other things i why not talking about more than the state of our weaponry but state a should be capable. they should have access to these weapons if they are not so given all these things that will be difficult to imagine for them to stand on their own future alone and the one thing you know that we are well from other countries for
3:57 pm
a successful army. prefigures are important. person three in personal. fire power and rot. when it comes to more our bruce willis my personal opinion i don't believe that all our officers really favor the fighting for the nation of course. is really important and with the taliban this is the other way around most of them really fight for the cause and they believe that's the well with which they have moral which makes it difficult difficult to find that luis has always made it difficult to fight the good against him thank you thank you very much eriksson's you for being with us unfortunately we're running out of time and just a reminder that my guests today in the studio. ruler of the presidential special envoy to afghanistan and that's it for now from all of us here if you don't tell
3:58 pm
