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 backburner 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 enforced 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 in 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 or on local authority of. economic and after the of us already you mentioned the national dialogue as part of this framework the syrian government called a consultative meeting on the national convention schedule for tenth of july what was the opposition invited to join this convention and what was their answer to the invitation. 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. if it of the country and

its people wish to marry was their position then has emigrated from the country at all soon watch it to join the meeting with them. 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 the limits you know janet 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 the vest of all i object to using the word kill in relation to protesters no one is killing protesters these are all rumors spread by the mass media the facts of falsified 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 there are 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 just are all sure but 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 a cutting off heads and throwing the bodies to come and graves. yet unwalkable 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 and certainty channels which he called biased recently reported civilian deaths is it sure that syrian turkish relations are threatened who are not of jeneba there are two aspects to syrian turkish relations the first we think that the turkish government fully realizes that a good neighborly relations in syria will benefit both the turkish and the syrian people and syria is also well aware that 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 that of another aspect is that deployment of syrian military forces in this region is not directed against turkey not at all there are people on the syrian side of the border who have tried to take power by use of force and by killing innocent civilians therefore it is only natural that syrian military forces will move there in order to restore order stability and 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 with the help of r.t. we would like to address everyone who left our country and we would like to say that we encourage them to come back and by the way many have already turned out but on the turkish side there are groupings of am people who are standing in the way of our citizens who wish to return if 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 service ready to provide them with everything from quality life options food supplies medication and medical aid and what's most important in my opinion we should welcome them back home without any repercussions has that the will that the. are you expecting a western military intervention in syria the way it happened in libya. 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 moreover syria has friends and allies who will stand by and oppose any kind of intervention and serious domestic affairs syria is the key to the balance in the middle east any meddling with its internal affairs will drive this region into a disaster and western countries are well aware of this but nevertheless they keep

hating arabs and syria in particular because of our political stand on the arab israeli conflict because of our achievements of success and our progress on the reforms track under the leadership of president bashar al assad. but of you what is your assessment of russia's position with regard to events in syria. i would do i believe that russia has a very commendable physician of the russian federation performs as tasks of a permanent member of the un security council in a most responsible way supported by our friends in moscow who would like to make a statement that the situation in syria poses no threat to global security and peace and therefore should not be discussed by the un security or he would rights council and truth external intervention and injection of considerable funds to fly certain circles have infringed our rights the rights of syrian citizen of many protesters were in fact bribed and we even have the details of the amounts paid in arms purchased and we also are aware of the conspiracies against syria i mentioned

some common interests and would like to say that syria is truly the main line of resistance that keeps extremism in check 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 while russia protect its principles and standpoints with us protect not only both our countries but also china and all those countries threatened by extremism who charges are laid at the bronze door that it's been intervening in the syrian crisis is that shoot and what would you want to say in response to such allegations of iranian was that this iranian 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 persuade it to stop supporting arabs the west is

trying to bend arabs to their will and strippers of a true ally i.e. a ram they want to run to withdraw from our common stand against israel and to become a strain must both laws and all the arab countries. what is your assessment of the arab countries attitude to events in syria a man who. we never rejected support arabs and so did everything to secure their support for syria i believe that arabs must be united in their statements in a hard time like. what happened in syria to be expected to spread like an epidemic across other arab countries in order to weaken and allow israel in the west to impose their civilization a supremacy that values the mindset on us i very carefully and follow the signals west wants from us especially in view of the recent events and i must say that in truth they do not wish us well the main blow is now directed at syria as an state couldn't its purpose is to enforce a new reality on syria in the interests of the west to force syria into giving up
