three months can you please come in under us in for paula paula know what. syria has seen complicated events in these three months when religious extremists started to destabilize the country's peace and security and undermines to pull it in syria of course the mass media have also done their bit to present syria in an unfavorable light as a country that is hostile towards its own people never in the history of modern syria as the country been attacked the way these armed bands of extremists are doing it syria is in need of reforms and we have had peaceful demonstrations in favor of reforms the syrian government and president bashar al assad responded to the demands of the people but as you may recall every time the government was about to introduce reforms violence surged in the country i witnessed these acts in daraa and other syrian provinces like many other citizens did the incumbent president of syria is committed to reforms and in two thousand he proposed

a major program of reforms but events in the region that followed affected the implementation of the reforms that were gravely ill the us invasion of iraq and the potential threat that the aggression would sweep over syria after the american government made its intentions 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 a 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 baths are as sad as lifted the state of emergency and signed a decree that allows holding peaceful demonstrations in the country by doing this the president actually and for. course one of the basic civil rights besides the draft law and parties was submitted for discussion by the text can be found on the internet previously we had

a law that limited be 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 on elections or on local authority story economic and other the us all up or us you mentioned the national dialogue as part of this framework the syrian government called a consultative need taking on the national convention schedule for tenth of july was the opposition invited to join this convention and what was their answer to the invitation. but that's true we were having consultations with members of various public groups on the opposition 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 of 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 for the benefit of the country and its people if the rally was the opposition has emigrated from the country also invited to join the meeting with them a problem that. we won't draw lines between the internal and foreign opposition we are concerned about their ties to external powers it is important that their opposition activities should pursue the interests of syria and stay within one's limits you know genital area yet there was the protesters and security service officials are still being killed in syria when is it going to end on our part of the verse 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 falsifying to manipulate t.v. viewers tales about protesters being killed in syria amir lies and false vocations

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 jews 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 by cutting off heads and throwing the bodies to come and graves. yeah don't walk with 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 soon to be channels what you call biased recently reported civil and deaths is it sure that syrian turkish relations are threatened or not again it there are two aspects to syrian turkish relations first we think the turkish government fully realizes that 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 which has a common border with syria of approximately eight hundred fifty kilometers should by no means be sacrificed to any extent or 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 try 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 it should not be misinterpreted as an attempt to provoke the other side or is a sign of to trying 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 returned but

on the turkish side there are groupings of on people who are standing in the way of our citizens who wish to return if we inform our people that we are ready to provide them with all necessities for everyday life as well as for free transportation home by syrian nationals bus service greater provide them with everything from a quality life such as food supplies medication and medical aid and what's most important in my opinion we should welcome them back home without any repercussions as the guy. what have 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 force in syria hands 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 it and oppose any kind of intervention and syria's domestic affairs

syria is the key to the balance of the middle east or any meddling with its internal affairs will drive this region to a disaster and western countries are well aware of this but nevertheless they keep hating arabs in 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 what is your assessment of russia's position and regards to events in syria. i believe that russia has a very commendable position the russian federation performs its 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 human rights council and truth external intervention and injection of considerable funds i certain circles have infringed our rights the rights of syrian citizens many

protesters were in fact bribed and we even have the details of the amounts paid in arms purchased 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 only stand up for ourselves or russia protect its principles and standpoints. with us protect not only both our countries but also china and all those countries threatened by extremism whenever 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 the us 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 and strippers of a true are like a ram they want to run to withdraw from our common stand against israel and to do come a strange both from us and all the arab countries moment. what is your assessment of the arab countries attitudes in syria and iran. we never rejected support arabs and so did everything to secure their support for syria i believe the dabs must be united in their statements in a hard time like this what happened in syria can be expected to spread like an epidemic across other arab countries in order to weaken them and allow israel in the west to impose their civilization supremacy their values and mindset upon us by very carefully followed signals of what 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 armed state his purpose is to enforce a new reality on syria in the interests of the west to force syria into giving up its current position and getting removed from involvement in the arab israeli conflict with otherwise why would anyone need it to go by looking one even official calls. the year nerac is not a true journalist. way still in the us congress is there's going to be wasting their time trying to kill.
