what about that i'm afraid today we're talking to syrian minister of foreign affairs mr vali done well and thank you for joining us or not it was if you actually see that you expressed reserve at the last meeting of foreign ministers of arab states in cairo on the situation in syria where is the opposition welcomed them do you think the arab league has been playing you constructive room. unfortunately due to the so-called arab spring so countries that had been playing a significant role in the arab league's operation are now busy with their own domestic issues and this doesn't help consolidated solutions hopefully this issue ation will be resolved in the short term and these countries will become official began in consolidating the common arab cause this is first do you think it would be reasonable to discuss a country's problems without its participation. second proposal was made at this consultative meeting to free syria's membership of the arab league this is very

dangerous and most participating countries spoke against this proposal how can one imagine resolving common arabic problems without syria. and thirdly this proposal contradicts the leaks chartered as the board of the arab states leaders has the power to suspend or freeze membership this power was breached when making a decision on libya and we're all well aware of what happens then to have the u.n. security council use the arab league's decision when adopting its resolution and then nato used this decision for its purposes when arabs to speak up with such proposals they understand the purpose of these actions which is to undermine what remains of the common arab cause. might it was the lord the opposition states that the syrian leadership has little time left to implement the reforms announcement president bashar assad but they're saying that the syrian people are paying with their blood for delays in these reforms why is there such a delaine implementing than. they thought on october first of all there is no delay

on the contrary a universal reform program underway in syria will be implemented in a record six months compared to other countries including russia where reforms lasted for several years i repeat that this is a record short period of time those who speak about reforms know that certain laws should be passed to see them through they include laws on political parties and parliamentary elections slated for next february there are also elections to local self-government bodies a law on the media should also be passed a commission has been set up to draft the country's new constitution and how fast should these things go these are crucial issues solutions to which will determine the face of the new syria a pluralistic and democratic country a model example to other nations in the region these hasty action reasonable these are serious problems that require serious approaches based on experience and

international law judging from that i would say that the country's leadership is not slowing down reforms and the deadline set by the syrian president are very short in less than six months the country will see these reforms carried out that is why i'm asking if the opposition really cares for the future of this country why it wouldn't begin dialogue and lay out some serious approaches to creating a new syria. as for the bloodshed let me ask you whether there's a regime anywhere in the world whose purpose is to kill its own citizens or rather isn't its direct purpose to protect its own citizens from terrorists we are confronted with arms terrorist groups who have nothing to do with reform these groups are being armed and financed. i'm abroad every day syrian television reports new arrests of these groups members which are sowing terror what object is do they have other than how to earn more money therefore we should differentiate the national opposition which is in favor of political and economic reforms from viz

armed groups. and can you please tell us who trends these groups belong to and who's giving them during support who are no one. according to our information these are al qaeda groups operating from iraq also traditionalist forces and muslim brotherhood units have been discovered these units are financed from two sources by islamised organizations in the arab world including the gulf states as well as organizations based in european countries the second source is weapons and drug smugglers when nobody goes it alone a mark of statements are made in the west one after another that the security forces continue to use violence against the protesters we actually saw the security forces and armored vehicles in the streets of a key towns and their own homes are soon steering our visit to syria where so many troops needed in syrian towns like homs. and the have. to start with the

west only pretends it is worried about human rights violations in syria in fact it was the west that imposed economic sanctions that have hit the interests of the syrian population so hard this is an obvious discrepancy within the western approach to syria they have a plan which clearly foresees impairment of the ruling regime in syria followed by its complete overthrow why are they doing this to minimize syria's influence in the region and force it to abandon its independent stance the west seems to think that economic sanctions will help topple our government this is exactly why we should try to prevent this plan from being implemented and secondly we have not used tanks for seven months we did use them in the very beginning to provide proper protection for our soldiers who are safe inside of them but no tank has fired on the battlefield so far it is natural that no country would welcome a terrorist group financed and armed from abroad these groups are a threat to citizens security and the work of state institutions and schools

yesterday three children were killed in one family there was a baby girl among the victims who was not an even seventeen months old. is that what they call reforms or is it terror. now you understand why i can openly confirm that we did deploy our security forces in the regions where militants are operating with them now while he was here a syrian opposition maintains the transit security council resolution veto was supportive of the syrian government's position where as you say that this step prevented foreign intervention into serious domestic and fance as you know russia proposed a new resolution to the security council which is under consideration now what her the steps can we expect syria it's a it should be sneery a solution be approved by western crown isn't it. first of all we do not expect the west to approve russia's new resolution secondly vetoing that resolution has created benefits for syria but not only syria it gave us more

time to implement reforms on russia above all other states requires the syrian government to implement the reforms in question and to maintain a comprehensive dialogue why have we did more than just make use of russia's veto we used to lift external pressures from our reforms process and we agree with russia that any foreign intervention into our domestic affairs is unacceptable just as any attempt to increase economic sanctions against syria since they infringe upon the interests of syrian citizens in the course of our consultations it became clear that russia is even more demanding than other countries in urging syria to complete reforms and to maintain a comprehensive political dialogue another issue here is that russia is vetoing the proposed resolution gave new life to the security council itself by stripping the usa of its decision making monopoly on the international stage and that's a very important thing just look at what their monopoly did in libya iraq and

afghanistan the truth is that the policy the united states is trying to implement here in our region is far from unbiased and it's not even their own. it is a policy that serves israel's interests that's the truth i worked in the united states for ten years and i know this to be true. i was if you will get the whole year you have taken steps to live aid the impact of economic sanctions in place against syria what truly is russia playing i will plans have you made with moscow to cope with and resolve the situation you don't have to work a lot of probably the west that is the european union japan and of the usa have levied economic sanctions against us that impede our economic development and they expected these sanctions to bring down the ruling regime quite naturally under such circumstances syria must rely on its own resources and capabilities i am here by saying that we have enough strategic resources we have over

a year's supply of food and basic products to meet the populations demand starting with grain and so on secondly we need to develop economic ties with countries pursuing an independent policy countries which haven't joined this western plan but i mean such countries as russia india malaysia and china and there are enough states with developed economies and advanced achievements in science and technology and these are the states we shall develop our relations with that thus by relying on our own capacities and building co-operation with friendly states we hope to make it through the current situation couldn't it by you as you heard that it seems that turkey's close to recognizing the national council how will syria respond to explain. i don't want to get ahead of events but turkey knows the scope of syrian turkish relations we signed fifty intergovernmental agreements followed by growth in trade and cultural exchange at the end goal is to establish strategic relations between the two countries we have been working towards this goal which in practice

means that citizens of both countries can visit each other under a visa free regime hopefully we won't go as far as to destroy the results of all our efforts over the. last ten years. by the us if you. could we move to a different subject now did damascus suit any preconditions before agreeing to receive palestinian prisoners it's known of the west has been putting pressure on syria for hosting the hamas leadership or did syria lerato any specific conditions before agreeing to receive palestinians released from israeli jails are interested in your cause and we have to remember that syria has been part of the palestinian issue we handed over the golan heights in an attempt to resolve the issue it's impossible to break this strong link between syria and the palestinian problem which is manifested both in our support for the resistance movement and in attempts to resolve the problem at regional and international levels therefore it's natural that there could be no conditional requirements.
