fascist meeting activists say the door for creation of nots is and will give rise to the russians minutes and of course europe. and the west threatens to punish the syrian regime for the latest round of crackdowns on protesters which reportedly killed more than a hundred people on sunday but some experts warn that foreign interference only make matters worse. the next r.t. speaks to russia's deputy foreign minister i'm going events comes as the arab spring we count but not enough explained why moscow's against any u.n. resolution condemning the syrian regime. the developments in the middle east concerned the entire world and russia is no exception russia is a permanent member of the u.n. security council as well as an active member of the international court there in

the middle east russia's deputy foreign minister mikhail but none of your users to discuss recent developments in the situation in the middle east and answer the question whether the region is going through the arab spring as some experts say or a period of the client just about done of before you became deputy foreign minister you were russia's ambassador to egypt for a number of years and witnessed the tragic events to check the country the life of the vast majority of egyptians remained bit of a hard and it's constantly deteriorating do you think there is a possibility that egypt will experience another way of mass protests this time inspired by economic demands and what are the prospects for egyptian state or considering the influence of the region. it is true i was russian ambassador to egypt for over six years and i saw the social economic and political situation unfold in the world's largest out of country we are deeply concerned about egypt's future but we are also aware that any crucial decisions taken should only be taken

by the people employing a democratic procedure be it a referendum plebiscite or a nationwide election did you know that there has been an action plan for reform drafted in syria which includes reforming the electoral system for both parliamentary and presidential elections introducing amendments to the constitution adjusting existing legislation and adopting important new laws that will affect the social economic and political aspects of life for the out of community we who are going to gyptian friends achieve progress and success on their possible reforms we have seen political struggle among various social and political forces including islamist movements we are following all these events very closely we think that the best way to result. any problem is to start inclusive nationwide dialogue. that's where your whole but it's turn to syria now which is one of the most difficult problems in the region the west responded negatively to the statements and the actions of the syrian government they use tightening sanctions against syria the un

resolution is being used to probe the situation for the possibility of military intervention how high are the chances that western countries will indeed only use a military campaign against syria. for as we realize that silly is going through a very difficult stage of development similar to a few other countries in the region an internal civil conflict between the government and part of society political social and economic problems of it is both in terms of numbers and complexity we think the best way to deal with these films is a nationwide dialogue claims to show political social and economic reforms to support all efforts aimed at launching and promoting a substantial the dialogue between the government and the opposition we adhere to the notion that both parties should abstain from violence and gauging constructive dialogue and not the street of cooperation and worse than progress he said as he said the syrian government and president assad delivered a number of statements on the reform plan for instance the president's speech damascus university putting presented the action plan for reform during our

negotiations with senior leaders we insisted that it should be implemented step by step in a consistent manner company and official that we also call on the sitting government to keep their promises and live up to the hopes and aspirations of the people there were adequately expressed during the mass rallies. i'm old work with russia has refused to even discuss the draft resolution and syria proposed by france what is the reason behind such a tough stance especially with regard to the fact that moscow did not stone wall the un security council resolution on libya are there any other ways of resolving the syrian crisis with international help. all of them for we believe that the city and should address their problems as part of their domestic. and this is an internal civil conflict and it should not be internationalized as for the situation in libya of course every country is unique in terms of its particular situation the background of its conflict the form and the scale of public protests in accra on the other hand we should learn our lessons this refers to the un resolution on

libya you've mentioned we are all witness to it and we still see it neither the number of international players tend to digress from the strict observation of both the instructions and the spirit of these resolutions therefore we are not really concerned the such loose interpretations could only result in making some of the opposition circles taking their position and ought to for a tougher approach which is by no means opposed of achievement in terms of finding a mutually acceptable solution. as far as the opposition is concerned and international observers point out that the demands of the syrian opposition are quite in sync with the demands put forward by the west could this be considered as evidence of some coordinated process in place and under such circumstances meaning that the syrian delegations visits in moscow have. the way i see it the syrian opposition is not homogenous it is internal opposition there is external opposition and there are forces that indeed translate to a certain degree the opinion of some part of the public different think that we

cannot talk of the opposition as a uniform force some of it is leftist some stick to socialist or communist views it is a liberal opposition and islamist opposition represented by the muslim brotherhood and other islamic forces there for i think this matters a lot and makes a great difference in terms of our contacts with various parties i must say that we maintain contact with proud to be old serious social and political forces. europe is becoming increasingly wary and disappoint that would lead us military campaign in libya the conflict shows no sign of ending the plight of the civilian population is deteriorating radically what measures would you consider necessary for the conflict in parties and the international community to take in order to bring about a solution both in political and humanitarian terms. from the very start we have urged the parties in the conflict to cease all military action declared a truce and work at a sustainable solution for peace in libya in order to kick start the process of

political reconciliation in this regard we have highly appreciated the contribution of the afghani wish to create a rule of law for reconciliation of libya the u.n. secretary general's envoy for libya has also contributed a lot so this process i think come up a number of additional certainly proposals addressing both military and political aspects we are keenly encourage in promoting these constructive ideas put forth by the african union around the united nations as you know there have been several meetings in moscow with representatives from both tripoli and benghazi a russian presidential special envoy traveled to tripoli on benghazi we'll something contacts with various third parties as for humanitarian situation in libya you are right signal that it is a matter of cities concern for the entire international community and recent days we have provided additional. aid shipping food medicines and other humanitarian items to both tripoli and benghazi. as we discuss events in this region we can't avoid touching upon its key problem i mean the palestinian issue new

generations of israelis and palestinians have been assured since the middle east peace process was launched but we still haven't seen any fusible progress in negotiations would you say this is a deadlock or is there a way to get the peace process on track and what would it require. like you said the palestinian issue is a key issue for the entire region i believe that regardless of the arab spring and the developments in particular countries in the region the palestinian issue will remain pivotal for the entire arab world and for the region in general i also think that it will remain pivotal for our israeli partners as well i spent five years as an ambassador to israel myself i am personally acquainted with quite a few top ranking officials both in the israeli government on the palestinian national authority as well as the palestinian liberation organization on the numerous palestinian factions and i think that everybody realizes that the palestinians and israelis are bound by destiny itself to live side by side as you

know russia advocates establishing an independent palestinian state as soon as possible for the state to live alongside israel maintaining peace and security we are committed to this purpose both as a permanent member of the security council and as not to participant of the middle east quartet there was a ministerial meeting of the quartet in washington recently which featured a very specific and detailed discussion on the situation with regard to the palestinian israeli truck we are certainly concerned with the negotiation been stalled at the moment the negotiations can be suspended who still hope that both parties will find a way to agree on resuming the talks with a view to establishing an independent palestinian state as soon as possible and to resolve all of the remaining issues and not just reach a final settlement between israel and the palestinians. you know. you were russia's ambassador to israel for five years and so you just for six you're well informed about the situation there tell us what is the president really

interested in the palestinian israeli negotiations would you say that the president format has exhausted its capacities and we should look for new ways what is your assessment of the cortef latest meeting in washington where. the quartet is a perfect format for providing international assistance to the israeli palestinian peace process i happened to attend that meeting person as part of the russian delegation which was headed by foreign minister sergei lavrov and i witnessed a very constructive discussion among all the pictures. ministerial meeting the candidate a comprehensive analysis of the situation and identify the reasons behind a kind of stalling negotiations they also discussed various future scenarios off the situation and most importantly the members of the quartet agreed to keep in touch intensively to keep an exchange of opinions and proposals running all the time all members of the quartet have committed to keep talking to both parties in the dispute this is based on understanding that there probably will be one more meeting of the quartet in september once the u.n. general assembly convenes for

a regular session in new york and all of the members of the quartet will be there to discuss the situation one more time this proposal came from the russian foreign minister and the hope of the parties be come out with a certain adjustments to the positions so as to be able to resume the peace process if that is not the case the quarter we discussed other options for dealing with the situation and failing to the initiative that is currently being discussed by the palestinian public and has already been endorsed by the arab leak which is the idea of taking the issue of establishing an independent palestinian state to the u.n. general assembly. if used to be an ideal place for a holiday but it changed in a moment. the

star forward was able to train with his strength and conditioning coach in moscow and in a month and a half he will start training camp with his team the bismark pinworms thought. right. here today yeah nice up place. for. the present but. first your training camp is going to get out of my workout. you are. a mile can develop through the system and to russian powerhouse mcculloch will need aguilar's and dated for the team in two thousand and three when he was just seventeen the following year he was drafted second overall make these work behind his national team mate alexander i reached it but due to a dispute hill where concert with neteller gina was forced to stay for another year
