mentation of the reforms that were gravely ill the us invasion of iraq and a potential threat to the aggression would sweep over syria after the american government made some tensions clear the turmoil in lebanon and the assassination of the lebanese leader rafik hariri the situation in the region changed in the state of syria is threatened the reforms were shifted to the back burner and defense of the country was made the priority task and has been the most important thing ever since today however the government is considering the implementation of the reform plan their predecessors have launched but not finished president bashar al assad has lifted the state of emergency and signed a decree that allows holding peaceful demonstrations in the country by doing this the president actually enforce one of the basic civil rights besides the draft law and parties were submitted for discussion about the text can be found on the internet previously we had a law that limited the allowed number of parties in syria to ten the new law stipulates that people may create new parties if they wish to their number is no

more limited and whether the newly established party will be an opposition or not doesn't matter either a lot of attention is also paid to the new normal mass media which is a central part of the national dialogue as a law on parties or on elections but on local authority of the old story economic and after the us already yeah you mentioned the national dialogue as part of this framework the syrian government called a consultative meeting on the national convention scheduled for ten for july that what was the opposition party as you joined this convention and what was their answer to the invitations. to have a laugh that's true we were having consultations with members of various public groups and the opposition is not only official public figures on the first round of preparations for the national convention that is going to take place on july the tenth its main objective is to set the framework for a national dialogue and make it work. everyone will be able to join the dialogue

and help tackle the problems we face peacefully and for the benefit of the country and its people wish to marry was the position that has immigrated from the country all seen what it's actually meeting me. we won't draw lines between the internal and foreign opposition we're concerned about their ties to external powers it is important that opposition activities should pursue the interests of syria and stay within rosalyn will see a large amount of soria yet there was a lot of protesters and security service officials are still being killed in syria when is it going to end our on our part of them first of all i object to using the word kill in relation to protest as no one is killing protesters these are all rumors spread by the mass media the facts of falsifying to manipulate t.v. viewers tales about protesters being killed in syria amir lies and false vacations and who actually is being killed in syria a policeman security service officials and innocent people of course the raw

sporadic civilian deaths no one is going to deny this but there is no denying either that there are armed bandits who kill soldiers and fight against the security forces take the city of jews are all sure good for the security forces were kept isolated for three days when the militants failed to defeat the security forces they tried to get revenge on them cutting off heads and throwing the bodies graves here. yeah don't walk away observers think that the relations between syria and turkey have deteriorated after the syrian troops came close to the syrian turkish border and were deployed in several regions uncertainty channels which he called biased recently reported civil and deaths is it sure that syrian turkish relations are threatened like one out of geneva there are two aspects to syrian turkish relations first we think the turkish government fully realizes that a good neighborly relations with syria would benefit both the turkish and the syrian people and syria is also well aware they're friendly relations with

a neighboring country that has a common border with syria of approximately eight hundred fifty kilometers should by no means be sacrificed to any extent article another aspect is that deployment of syrian military forces in this region is not directed against turkey and not at all there are people on the syrian side of the border who have tried to tell him how by use of force and by killing innocent civilians therefore it is only natural the syrian military forces will move there in order to restore order stability or security in that region and this should not be misinterpreted as an attempt to provoke the other side or is a sign of decline and security between the two countries it was directed against the armed groups of people who try to oppress the citizens on the syrian side of the border and forced many of them to flee their motherland and acting with the help of our team we would like to address everyone who left our country in the red light to say that we encourage them to come back and by the way many have already turned what we have but on the turkish side there are groupings of on people that

were standing in the way of our citizens you know who wish to return we informed our people that we are ready to provide them with all necessities for everyday life as well as free transportation home by syrian national. rate provide them with everything from the quality life a lot obviously supplies we've got education and medical aid and what's most important in my opinion we should welcome them back home without any repercussions has that that the. are you expecting a western military intervention in syria the way it happened in libya you are leave me. be and i'd like to say that the situation in libya is completely different from that in syria syria's position has been clearly articulated and the global community is aware of the military forces syria has so even if the west is thinking of intervening we would advise them not to go moreover syria has friends and allies or stand by to you and oppose any kind of intervention in syria as domestically syria is the key to the balance in the middle east which any meddling with this

into your face here will drive this region to disaster western countries are well aware of this but have never been asked to keep hating arabs and syria in particular because of the political stand on the arab israeli conflict because of ours the chief wants of success and our progress on the reform struggle through under the leadership of president bashar al assad the two of you what is your assessment of russia's position with regard to events in syria. our data i believe that russia has a very commendable physician of the russian federation performs as tasks of a permanent member of un security council in a most responsible way as well yes supported by our friends in moscow who would like to make a statement this is a situation in syria poses no threat to our security and peace and therefore should not be discussed by the un security or he when rights council untruth of an external intervention and injection of considerable funds to slice certain circles have infringed on rights the rights of syrian citizen a strong many protesters were in fact bribed and we even have the details of the

amounts paid in arms purchased at the moment and we also are aware of the conspiracies against as you mentioned some common interests and would like to say that syria is truly the main lines resistance keeps up stream ism and checked the work preventing it from spreading all over the region and russia is not that far from our region and quite often not to deal with religious extremism just like syria when we stand up for ourselves russia protect its principles and standpoints . why does protect not only both our countries but also china and all those countries threatened by extremism when the charges are laid at iran's door that it's been intervening in the syrian crisis is that shoes and what would you want to say in response to such allegations that are going to get on your most other how this or any syrian relations are not hostile to any third party either in the region or on the global scale their main objective is to counter israeli occupation of the overtaken arab territories and establish security peace and stability in the region we strive to achieve understanding between iran and arab countries while the

west is trying to set a rant against our countries persuaded to stop supporting arabs the west is trying to bend arabs to their will stripper's of a true ally ram they want to run to withdraw from our common stand against israel and to become a straight both rebels and all the arab countries. pay for what is your assessment of the arab countries attitudes here in syria and the north palm we never rejected support arabs who did everything to secure their support for syria say that i believe that arabs must be united in a statement of time i saw what happened in syria where they expected to spread like an epidemic across other arab countries in order to weaken now israel in the west will have to impose their civilization a supremacy of values the mindset on us very carefully when the all of the signals the west wants from us especially view of the recent events and i must say that in truth they do not wish as well that they are not the main blow is now directed at

syria as an armed state is good at its purpose is to enforce a new reality on syria in the interests of the west also to force syria into giving up its current position again and getting a removal from involvement in the arab israeli conflict couldn't otherwise why would anyone electing one even official close. spending the year in iraq as a military journalist i saw some ways to go in u.s. contractors there's kind of wasting their time trying not to get killed. i thought all was willing to do to see it out five hundred miles
