anti questions. to the sacred grove the case of knots and give rise to rationalism and xenophobia cross europe. and the west threatens to punish the syrian regime for the latest round of crackdown on protesters reportedly killed more than a hundred people on sunday some experts warn that foreign interference make matters worse. the next forty speaks to russia's deputy foreign minister about the ongoing events that have come to be known as the arab spring. banner off explained why moscow is against any u.n. resolution targeting the syrian regime has got its condemnation of the ongoing violence in that country. the developments in the middle east concern 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 in the middle east russia's deputy foreign minister and here but none of your reasons to discuss recent developments in the situation in the middle east and answer the question whether the region as a going through the arab spring as some experts say or a period of decline mr mcdonough for 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 remain bitterly 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 demand here and what are the prospects for egyptian state or considering the influence of the region if you can or will 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 egypt which includes reforming the electoral system for both parliamentary and presidential elections introducing amendments to the constitution adjusting existing legislation and adopt an important new laws that will affect this social economic and political aspects of life for the out of community we who are gyptian friends achieve progress and success on their passes reforms we have seen political struggle flared up 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 program is to start an inclusive nationwide dialogue. for your turn to syria now which is one of the most difficult problems in the region the west responded negatively to the statement and the actions of the syrian government be used trading it 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 unleash a military campaign against syria. as we realize that city is going through a very difficult stage of development similar to few other countries in the region and internal civil conflict between the government and part of society political social and economic problems that are greeted both in terms of numbers and complexity we think the best way to deal with these problems as a nation where dialogue combined with crucial political social and economic reforms we support all efforts aimed at launching and promoting a substandard of dialogue between the government and the opposition we adhere to the notion that both parties should abstain from violence and engage in constructive dialogue in an atmosphere of cooperation we wish them progress he said as he said the syrian government and president assad have delivered a number of statements on the reform plan for instance the president's speech

damascus university pretty presented the action plan for reform joining our negotiations with zillion we insisted that it should be implemented step by step in a consistent manner promptly and efficiently we also call in the sitting government to keep their promises and live up to the hopes and aspirations of the people there were adequately expressed in the mass rallies of. russia has refused to even discuss the draft resolution on syria proposed by france what is the reason behind such a tough stance especially with regard to the fact that most code of not stonewalled the u.n. security council resolution on libya are there any other ways of resolving the syrian crisis with international help. 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 of the scale of public protest etc on the other hand we should

learn our lessons this features the un resolution on libya you've mentioned we are all witness to it and we still see it now 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 naturally concerned the such loose interpretations could only result in making some of the opposition circles taking their position and opt 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 international observers point out that the demands of the syrian opposition are quite insane with the demands put forward by the west could this be considered as evidence of some coordinated process in place and under such circumstances what meaning that the syrian delegations visit to moscow have. the way i see it the syrian opposition is not homogenous that 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 there for i think that we cannot talk of who are positioned as a uniform force some of it is leftist some stick to socialist or communist views that is a liberal opposition and islamist opposition represented by the muslim brotherhood and other islamic forces there for the 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 prior to the old serious social and political forces left. europe is becoming increasingly wary and disappointed with me it was a military campaign in libya a conflict shows no sign of ending the plight of the civilian population is the tearing radically what measures would you consider necessary for the conflict and 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 a process of political reconciliation in this regard we have highly appreciated the contribution of the african union which can appear to ruled not for reconciliation in libya the u.n. secretary general's envoy for libya is also contributing a lot to this process having come up with a number of additional settlement proposals addressing will the military and political aspects we are currently encourage in promoting these constructive ideas put forth by the african union and the united nations as you know there have been several meetings in moscow with representatives from both tripoli on benghazi a russian presidential special envoy travel to tripoli on benghazi we'll some in contact with the various third parties as for the humanitarian situation in libya you are right to look that it is a matter of serious concern for the entire international community in 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 a mature it seems the middle east peace process was washed and we still haven't seen any feasible progress and negotiations would you say this is a bad luck 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 out of spring on the developments in particular countries in the region the palestinian issue will in mean 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 as spend five years in and bassett israel myself i am personally acquainted with quite a few top ranking officials both in the israeli government and the palestinian national authority as well as the palestinian liberation organization and 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 this 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 detailed discussion on the situation with regard to the palestinian israeli track we are certainly concerned with the negotiation been stalled at the moment the negotiations can be suspended but we 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 in order to reach a final settlement between israel and the palestinians. you were russia's ambassador to israel for five years and to egypt for six you're well informed about the situation there tell us what is the present role of the mediators in the

palestinian israeli negotiations would you say that the present format has exhausted its capacities and we should look for new ways what is your assessment of the quartet's latest meeting in washington. what. the quartet is a perfect format for providing international assistance to the israeli palestinian peace process i happened to attend that meeting personally as part of the russian delegation which was headed by foreign minister sergei lavrov and i witnessed a very constructive discussion among all the because that's the ministerial meeting the candidate a comprehensive analysis of the situation and identify the reasons behind a common stall in negotiations they also discussed leaders future scenarios of a 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 the 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 become up with a certain adjustments to the positions so as to be able to resume the peace process the vote 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 league which is the idea of taking the issue of establishing an independent palestinian state to the un general assembly.
