could instead lay a path to peace but we in for a man who served at the very heart of russia's global diplomacy. mr primakov thank you very much for coming here a lot has been happening in the world recently iran and israel for example have been exchanging very harsh words recently while there may be nothing new about that israel seems to be driving itself into some sort of self isolation should we expect any and reasonable steps from israel you know. i think you're right in saying that it is israel which is driving itself into international isolation and that shows in many respects one and perhaps the most dangerous aspect is there's collation attention around and even preparations for an attack on iran this is very dangerous

another aspect of the isolation is that israel the government of israel in its fight for the status quo is pushing the palestinians to assert themselves as a state in various international organizations they've already succeeded at unesco this also adds up to isolation for israel its public opinion against israel then there was the other situation you probably remember the incident with the bomber sikorsky and that microphone they thought was not given there were rather unflattering comments from both sides regarding israel and everybody in a puts the emphasis on circles he said that netanyahu was a liar but obama said and i have to deal with him every day he saw a bomb was no more flattering about netanyahu the answer because he was all this i think goes to show that israel's policy is not right in my opinion totally wrong if you will. there's lots of it so you do admit that it is possible that israel may attack iran. or the us yes unfortunately i do but i really hope though that it never happens because this may lead to very dangerous consequences some see that

the usa is just waiting for iraq to restore its oil production capacity to start supplying oil to the world marc. after which the usa will clear israel to attack but i would say this is not quite correct if there ever is a strike on iran i think that iran will do everything to gain control of the situation in iraq and nobody knows how events in iraq are going to develop after that and right now iran has great authority and influence in the shia community you know just as it is that you've said that israel has gradually been losing a significant part of its influence it's broke its connections with turkey and egypt we all heard what president sarkozy and obama said about prime minister. moreover they're experiencing a local economic crisis what role do you see israel playing in the future. i believe the best role for israel is to have the kind of leader that it used to have historically like the prime minister who supported peace and who was killed a leader who would find

a compromise settlement with khalid steyn and syria it's important that i mention syria as this matter cannot be resolved with palestine alone you know do you believe that the fundamental problems of today's israel lie with that country's authorities. i certainly do it's also a matter of public opinion of course but the water can change take the present out of spring for instance it's absolutely obvious to me that it broke out in tunisia and egypt with any external preparation i don't share the opinion of those who believe that it's been stirred up by americans or europeans and so on it was a spontaneous outrage a rebellion if you like a revolution is somewhat it but what's the outcome and what further implications will it have the way i see it americans and their approach the arab states are combining their willingness to protect their national interests in this region with a certain amount says one has to be romantic to believe that the western democratic model could be transferred to an out of the country if that's what they really want to do. so islam and democracy are incompatible it's not just

a matter of islam it's also a matter of traditions and historical experience religion. and mentality you can't just export revolution or democracy to another country in this sense they're similar to trotskyites who also believe that they could just bring a revolution to a country in spite of its local conditions even when a situation wasn't suitable for the forces in charge of israel should be able to assess the situation soberly and to understand the danger of extremist activities of any kind they should be willing to find a peaceful solution based on a conference with the house and and then with syria it's possible to reach a compromise in all very acute issues israeli security should certainly be discussed and backed with certain activities it could be done but most importantly what's been stopping the stream happening on one hand it's a position of the israeli leadership that's been striving to consolidate the status quo and the other hand the americans have been reducing their activity in this matter which is quite comprehensive as they went to take time out for the election

period the pre-election time doesn't encourage the u.s. president to work actively in the middle east settlement this pause on the part of the americans as well grounded from their viewpoint. is a dangerous course you know which is very dangerous because as we've mentioned in the beginning there's a possibility of an israeli attack on iran the trends that have been developing could result in a strong escalation of pressure or she or she would not bring what we saw it has those circles there is also the subject of the arab spring that you said you don't believe there had been any external influence no that's not what i said i said i don't believe it could all have been spurred by an outside influence at the start and at the end. and then of course there was a you could see it with your own eyes in libya and in other countries i was in washington at the moment when events are shit in egypt and there's huge turmoil there i talked to madeline albright and some of my other colleagues and they were all taken quite off guard by those developments in egypt because mubarak used to be

a pro western ruler he'd always done what they thought was right he was against terrorism and extremist islam ism the americans are still trying to gain control of the. situation and retain the position which they used to have which will give them a foothold for the future it is wrong to think that america overthrew mubarak or the change in president. mr primark off what looks most terrifying to me is the fact that and all those countries and egypt and libya and in tunisia we now have muslim extremists in power when you associate you know this isn't true you're wrong about first of all it's a conglomerate of forces and i think that we can't be talking about a complete triumph of islam is never mentioned in egypt as yet they're going to win some seats in the parliament perhaps even more than expected but we should keep in mind that various muslim organizations evolve with time the muslim brotherhood for example and of the same organization anymore as the one that wanted to overthrew or kill nasser a while back of the muslim brotherhood are different now of course there are

extremists among them the same time though i think that all this spring apers has had an effect on islamic organizations as well because additional islamic organizations in tunisia and egypt have become more moderate than before sure so it's a positive influence because if you yes it's positive in this respect there is no craziness in them look at the party the muslim brotherhood are creating in egypt they have announced that even christians can join the party at the same time they're not talking about abolishing the secular state introducing syria norms and social and political life nobody is talking about that but the new leaders in libya have declared that they are going to build a new state based on sharia law is it possible some people might say in libya libya is not egypt after all first of all the americans and all the westerners for that matter still haven't analyzed the anti gadhafi forces and seen what they're made of this is just plain unprofessional after all there might have been some democratic group there displeased with gadhafi but mostly these are tribes you see. so you

think libya is not going to become a fundamentalist islamic state. nobody knows when libya is going to recover. from kills look at iraq for example it's been more than eight years and they still can't stabilize the situation the t.v. never stops reporting new casualties fifteen dead thirty dead every day in iraq bombs explosions and so on it could happen so regularly that people get used to it we start thinking this is normal but it's kills over eight and a half years of occupation there's been nothing we could do in libya it's going to be even tougher so i don't think we've had much success in libya. according to the levada center survey twenty five percent of russians believe gadhafi was killed for knowing too much at any rate the years media wrote that washington had discussed various actions regarding gadhafi terminations of his life among others. the busted finally we've been watching syria and it looks now like the un rest has receded and an election is coming up do you think when this election happens bashar al assad

can remain in power. i think in the case of a fair election he can remain in power not many people actually think about peculiarities in these events in the two countries libya and syria the arab spring started with armed resistance to the existing regime and i want to stress the armed fact the question is who gave them the arms therefore i don't think everything is that simple in relation to the syria libya when i said earlier that those events were not prepared or interfered with from within or rather meant egypt in tunisia the certainly also include bahrain home to the united states fifth fleet they didn't need any unrest there can we say those currently syria has avoided the threat of military intervention by nato and so on which i believe i don't think the west prepared to take this action that with a the security council's backing i think we're smarter now than at the time when the first security council resolution was adopted we will not adopt another resolution using vague terms which could be used for illegitimacy in these

activities so i really don't think this is happening furthermore the arab league is very unlikely to support it mr carmichael thank you very much for this interview you're welcome. right to clean town. squandered money. one. more than sixty square kilometers. and those are still suprising lives i'm finding we're just. getting bad out here. not saying hardly any birds squirrels you know.

and other two round despite that hopeful but there have basements will give an improved performance from that of the first leg. chances or rather limited to be realistic. i think you know i'm sure that to morrow's team. which is. really. will the. will perform and will give it to. maybe maybe maybe maybe to reach the unsinkable but in any case in any case to to give a very good competition. the governor prepared to take on portugal in lisbon after goalless draw in the first leg remains all to play for the return match and their euro two thousand and four runners up are big favorites that was theirs will try to be at the top of their game looking for the first major tournament in their history
