. we've done to the future covered. hello again a lot into spotlight the interview shared on heartache i'm now going out on today my guest on the show is called will. the nato led warfare in afghanistan has been going on for ten years already but seeing little success some of it some moralist allies like the former british foreign secretary david miliband are criticizing that they no longer believe in a military solution and say it's now time the diplomats should step in but is it possible to deal with taliban terrorists in a language other than against the russians should now the answer they tried

everything. my guess is the presidential special envoy for afghanistan said you have a couple. nato neutral operation in afghanistan has been going on even longer now than the saw this campaign there in the eighty's but the law 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. home. thank you for joining us on the show so well first of all. again a stand is in the news today once again because foreigners have faced outrage in this country after a preacher in florida has burned

a book of qur'an and a jury in one of his ceremonies in the united states in the noise city of mazar e sharif people have stormed the human campground they killed three staff members and killed four cards is does that mean the situation in the country is getting out of control completely can you confirm that. i will say for the moment that is getting out of control there is still some reserves are in for me it will soon be swayed but these are all reactions in mazar e sharif reflects moved all the arguments of population of course of the secretion of koran is very much hurting for and sensitive issue for any muslims in the rural guard in afghanistan whose muslim population suffered for at least plan last year or last three in the previous they are even more sensitive

and he acts like well i have a quote here from the turkish president of dillard 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 there two thousand and eleven is a critical year for against them as the coalition will start leaving soon and quit well you were talking about the situation the country do you think that the role of turkey as a regional power and some other regional powers will be increasing after the corolla she leaves in a two two to keep the situation somehow under. which we started talking first though a lot of things it's still premature for discuss a coalition living separation according to the recent decisions of nato or two thousand and fourteen that is the benchmark only. called mission for

souls and will stay the beyond of these the really you know of course of course so they may change the labor laws as they claim they're going to train the show about at the same time they will keep quite a significant military presence of three that's why i don't think that it will be directly turkey's turn to go into. here it's not good but anyway it's a very positive statement by talking to the government i hold they will be able to mr realize these. issues and those are what would you say then about the role of iran and how that another huge and he's not power and the relative ghana's kind of this country is also very significant and the west is not happy about it is you're right. i would say that certainly ron strong of galveston even is even more

important to us and russia has its own legitimate interests in this country because of its nation's security issues and iran has a contrary view to a lot in terms of economy of the relevant i'm gonna stand and. steal horses so more than two million are going to refute the scenes on the soul sorel and of course iran has a lot on stage you're not going to stand and on the same time we many times heard from iran on visuals of all their concerns so all the american military presence in afghanistan would be believe these presidents is a good at. vic iran iranian i think it's another region pakistan and neighboring pakistan secret services and not on the secret services but that well practically officially we're supporting taliban

a lot now after the regime change has this situation changed or as it is in continuing the support oh really. pakistani officials. stated many times of them favor over certain on and stabilization of ghana's and they denied badly in walmart in supporting the government for souls are going on three or four cells but at the same time there is a growing three hundred to five. so many taliban fighters under their structures so they have a network a logistic and other sort of neutral. gloried on the pakistani sorel. are if pakistan really wants to conduct policy that will more of the street opens it where they shoot the other sort of this very important problem of the same thing and they

are not doing it so they are doing they did quite well in sol for the stand out last year i bought so everybody knows the very huge share of taliban and please all on on to govern forssell so they have to have so safely insert in northern waziristan in biologists. and some other political news and argument and the tribal areas i guess and certainly i was a part of the rebel 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 good friend of russia by the way india i think it's the second largest sponsor i guess that may be behind iran but ahead of the united. it's so china and pakistan they don't like in india sponsorship because they think it threatens their interests in the region what sorts wasco that you do you do you like to see india's role increasing. india is along with the diggers so doner over reconstruction

of afghanistan they view a lot and there as your worldly measured in days are called one of the closest part of the russian federation and not only in afghanistan and we believe that the india play is playing and can play a constructive role in stabilization of guys from s four allegation those are all those congress you mentioned or they have history of difficulties but didn't know them and recent history i'm afraid steel costs shade or on the of their region over in this world and i've got a son that's very pity because russia is a part of the region rather interested in corporation when are gonna stand because so we really believe in real in a regional approach healthier regional approach for stability and i granted is

not possible result of the separation of such countries like india china pakistan that mitt romney but india is is literally at war with pakistan everybody who who was in there in kashmir and have been there and those that they are who are actually other. than i'm afraid it's a little bit over state none of the war really the recently leaders of india and pakistan started to you rob the of improvement the relations and we reached the government well of course it's a very slow and difficult process and the men and miles to be cowered by hand but. they are not at war and it will do very dangerous not only for the region about forgotten all the rural you the student for the conference of the region will be war because so they are actually nuclear powers and that's so that's why

we don't like them to be a in the such a great and the whole they will not reach the stage in their bilateral riyadh still aiming at each other every day i mean the soldiers and the officers and he spoke of my. fields many many hundred miles of minefields sell for there are also i don't know a local for all the places in the rural i'm sure we also know all there with the same separation but that doesn't mean that perhaps it will stage a war in so called a war separation perhaps between them but it's very important for us for the world peace to even poorer countries through improve for a better bilateral relations for the sake of grandson as well and you're something we started by talking about this terrorist situation now in afghanistan after this after this koran burning in in america to a study commissioned by the united nations i quote 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 perhaps it's not exceptions are exceptional in you all overall military political situation. we know that. the one insurance increasing your the zune i would solve the ration and the con three and they are focusing not only on nato i solve american military installations they out frying to target. evitable. not only for almost a local us as well and the aid worker saw soft target for them and easy they were to reach and that's why they becoming victims so over the wall says investors

than you kabul the presidential special envoy to dance the spotlight will be back shortly after we take a break fail stay way you want we'll continue this interview in less than an. outlet. and. space is above our national security there is no substitute and there is no alternative to military instinct was on target time alice that's with palin that's really you're able to look at her through space shuttle landings she can you get a better look at it clear a muggle class look outlay

and we must play. several hundred million. other vestment in the peaceful uses of butter space. listening credible investment from the united states and from the european union you can add another countries like this this is completely in jeopardy if we start putting we haven't seen outer space. eleven in a country that. and i understand that there's more violence in the streets of this country than there are in the streets of baghdad. was just really. bracing. by steve.

rogers the moment we'll. speak with. a welcome back to spotlight i'm now going over and just to remind you that my guest on the show today is sonia kabul of the presidential special envoy to afghanistan well here's something you've already told us that this declaration that two thousand and fourteen will be the the date when the coalition forces will complete that was role is not actually the exact date because the this is this is one of the

dates one of the date of the process but it's actually the military presence will continue. in fourteen and we're not looking at looking at a big exit as a. force from from afghanistan but in this respect can we can we can visit such a threat and many experts are talking about it as sort of an export action has export of terrorism outside of afghanistan unfortunately yes we have a phenomenon now are we had prior to. one. when the way had not work of training camps in our ganesan were. thumbed on sort of people from different condos got. training and there were of unsound then used to

utilize then you know would share knowledge share on all the world. under these circumstances of course. i'm going the sort who sees mostly busy with school rushing with the foreign forces and the og on the local government forces but we are afraid that later on the eve good for b. they will have a hand and number over a part of insurgency professional warrior soul ready and they may ride too frightened and huge or open fields or other and knowledge to be i'd like to apply that's possible it's one seconds it was not my judgment that americans will stain organise them beyond two thousand and fourteen it was a statement of the president of the united states of america and nato or officials

with a. set saw and they want to steadily share program known to our long standing military bases and the grahams them you can just imagine in these well of the whole rural i mean first the world out of the world and the got us from was all volatile for the last thirty years i don't believe that those islamic extremists who are fighting american snow they will be he always that nearly three basis or not gun sorel in the neighborhood it may be get me to go run ice prove their x. then use their t.v. things and we will give impulse and impetus to a continuation of reading reviews. disease and just a couple of some say that the foreign that occupation is that chile few early the taliban says see what's russia's official or even 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 so while fighting for most of the floor almost as crusaders and leaders are our guns are very much a letter to any foreign military presence of their country and their independence only and not like that many homes or most of the country that's all well and certainly 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 foreign presence to be to have a start realizing affects but scenes of these operation started tell me of the girl and we also don't believe in military solution but we don't believe in miller

so that was our economy action inside a storm if americans and nato forces doesn't want to do it i would have to remind them was written by a river of cape lingard just in the end of the nineteenth century he ruled that if you are the best and confused by afghanistan's brains and the force of withdrawal is all that remains then. change rethink. creates nation building and rethink your aim and fight the real enemy balder. well he knows he knew what to work to save because the british have been trying to conquer against it from the self for ages and ages and all failed and all failed that says those are the russians still there they tried to come from the north and they also feel i mean i mean even before the boss in the eighteenth century nineteenth century. twenty years ago when russia was fighting

a war in afghanistan america wasn't directly in the world but it was pretty influential and it sort of enjoyed the situation of how its influence while russia well russia was doing the fighting now america is fighting nato is finding russia is looking from the side trying to coordinate trying to help trying to be involved does russia enjoy this situation more than it did how we change sides in this political situation or not exactly russia has all the rights to enjoy the situation but we don't do it for the simple reason because our own nation only in the region for the security as you just on stated goes from far from being going in during the operation because we don't want the needle and america has failed because we will have to call with the implications of their failure that's why we are indeed wish

them success but in what means success stabilizing your younger son in all terms your military economy economy and leave. the spoils 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. instead get that out of there how the any other lessons that nato should learn from the saudi experience and against and also a lot so a lot. its military political bloc. should understand that they should come into are going to stand with the economy because august on will stay after their departure if they want to leave have got to stand. tall for good possibly for memory they should start doing

economy gonna start reconstruction the relevant one. otherwise so. bitter memory of what are our guns or will spread to other muslim can wish the russians as a matter of fact the soviets did a lot of economic really believe that they were rational a lot they think not only should they did only do the shooting but they did the building exactly exactly and listen nato as far as i heard from the press has managed to turn to to diminish the casualties among civilians and against and i mean as a result of their operation is it true is the situation that you should never say as a representative person. when comes to the start is the call 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 a desire and we can see views about for the climb the number of casualties it's quite hard. nate so has said to have trained and hundred

fifty thousand troops afghan soldiers do to defend their own country do you think that once the foreigners start getting away these soldiers trained by nato will be able to turn to stand against taliban. i would like to add of that besides all these almost one hundred. a hundred feet of thought on the afghan army personnel. supported to train almost one hundred twenty thousand policeman or the minister of interior some third of a million drivers you could not get out of close but run from store a quantity of things look. like ok but quit what is a question a problem is a quality. these are gone out of me a bit so one so not one time. soviet union and in the partnership was

a soviet union one of the one of the most capable and strongest army of the region now doesn't have air force i can on the engine that any army in the world we capable of providing result a car which was wrong the second are gone out of me as well as police nor their will is not. with the weapons and out of things i why not talking about more than the state of art weaponry bob steel they should be capable to they should have access to these weapons even though not so you give them all these feelings that will be difficult to imagine for them to stand on their own for you to alone and the one thing you know that we are well from other countries for a successful army. three figures are important. person three in person no.

five power and more on. when it comes to moral law was my personal opinion i don't believe that all are gun officer of us really favor of fighting for the nation of course. is really important and you would end with the taliban this is the other way around most of them really fight for the cause and they believe that's the role with which they are moral which makes it difficult difficult to front that which has always made it difficult to fight people against and thank you thank you very much for instance you for being with us unfortunately we're running out of time and just a reminder that my guests today in the studio house rule of the presidential special envoy to afghanistan and that's it for now from all of us here if you don't tell yourself start long has drop me a line. all right we'll be back with walter stern comments on what's going on in and outside russia until then stay on cards he didn't take his visit. to

the be. aboard. it.
