for money leaving authorities plead to the un to release billions of the country's assets still frozen months to the end of the military conflict that's of the country's cash strapped government struggles with paying salaries and providing subsidies. of a summary for in about fifteen minutes from now in the meantime the future of afghanistan is once again been up for debate in a week when brutal attacks claimed more than fifty lines phase over the stability there running higher than ever stay with us for the views of russia's spokesperson on afghanistan next in a special interview. thank you. so only a couple of freshman president's special envoy to afghanistan thank you very much for being with us today both of you so you just recently came back from the bonn

conference where hear a pin leaders delivered a grand promises to afghanistan in helping to rebuild its current me and security and then the very next day sixty afghans were killed by suicide bombers allegedly from pakistan how much of a reality check is that really for those leaders who make this huge plans for this country but indeed they are going to storm who is going to go on the. one conference was designed to demo three. international community sounded very few people in government he was to design to ensure. gun people the they will be not left alone after twenty fourteen when the transition process is or let's examine the whole transition withdrawal process from different sites after the u.s. killing of twenty four pakistani soldiers ration should between the two count

countries sharply deteriorated well that have any consequence or impact on the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan i don't think that we all have a direct impact on transition process but of course we'll complicate the transition process of going to start because pakistan is a very important actor in the region on its immediate neighbor all the work of god must know all these problems including perceive. untile of its. subject of terrorist attacks because those extremists who we call taliban they have a like mind that fellows pakistan the taleban while fighting their own government. for. is. for the same cause but over to to keep players like said

pakistan and taliban ignored the bonn conference what signals is that sending to international community do you think pakistan is now part of the problem or solution i wouldn't say goodbye just on the part of the problem it's a pakistani government boycott of the conference because of these unfortunate attack on pakistani border guards on their front yard and we can understand the sentiments and feelings. but at the same time we very much for all that pakistan will continue to call period to bowl with all the our government the international community in order to stabilize sedation not only are going to stand in the regional as a whole but this recent events to us friendly fire in pakistan and the recent bombings there really playing in the hands of those who want americans to stay in

afghanistan can theorise change their mind or thought and who would really benefit from it nor would it will benefit free from from. these. americans. aligning to. a lot of the strawbs but not all of them. transition process c. in their mind doesn't include all the problems of united states you're either faced to leave or got rid of them we know about plans of americans to establish autumn and they invent that will say a number of military bases against them was spearhead substantial force us deployed didn't. that that's a question for us and the russian government for a while for russian pres the foreign minister many times to made these points about

we want to have our transparent picture. for all these military bases there what impact will those military bases have on russian position in the region or first of all any foreign military. bases in this region special and i've got we believe will not add. will not the. stability of the region as a whole. specially when we don't know the final roles and i jammed all those troops. this for us and that we cannot clearly understand. for all of these babies because if one hundred american troops failed to stumble a situation i've got a system plus so they have almost fifty thousand on the other part

deployed so you have got most of them imagine these one hundred fifty thousand one hundred fifty seven probes could not stop the lies i'm going to somehow hold these remaining fifty or i don't know maybe before the american troops are deployed on the five seems to go there but it was can stabilize the patient that's an e-mail question mark for us we would like to hear. an answer but talk about not being able to stabilize the situation do you see it like we're seeing a repeat of a soviet scenario here where an army goes in it wins but it's i'm able to hold on to its victory is that true for a nato led operation there is certain similarity. but again if you compare the history of. deployment and withdrawal i should just remind that after. was there or will.

the knowledgeable regime could stand alone in the gun and. almost for three years. what i mean i mean that. equality or that i'm forced left behind if i may put my soviet union was so high that they were able with some support in sense of logistics to provide security in the country and. stay a long long against all odds. one of the camps to if to put a parallel with the current issue i'm not quite sure that the car and the argonne national army and our nation of police has already of these level of capability to do it alone so that's why we're all this made the point that first of

all russia for the russian doesn't want any original military force to stay longer let alone the foreigner where you got lost by the same time we don't want them around the way living everything behind complete that's. what we want the the strong position process of the vision of security of the armed forces should. be similar pain use was building a really capable of force on others this one second any military force us of any country requires a budget. only economy and national make on that he can build up such a much so conclusion. those who are living our growth they shoot to help to build

a sustainable economy that can car mall security and other requirements of the country that's our position. that's where unfortunately we can see you that's for the more months i'm going they shall army and police are not able to stay the whole long and to control the camp to be deployed security and etc how much of a threat is that to president karzai and his allies actually once the nato with dos is his secure safe then also if you want to do but more or less i mean they're covered by nato what happens when nato leaps so that's was talking before that it's important then them for two held government of overcoat of a right. to have for not only. loyal military force national force but the same time to have

a sustainable working got me but. probably why the budget and expenditures of such force ok that's happened over speaking but the reality is different so what's going to happen in the. in two thousand and fourteen when they talk to us if things go with the reeds going in. there is. the there are the prospects of chaos but are still hopeful there is still time we have more than two still there and of twenty fourteen to correct mistakes have been made and to conduct all operations of the gulf and in better. and there's also one little point i know that a lot of critical infrastructure a lot of afghan cities where we built by the u.s.s.r. in the eighty's what state you're leaving behind that's

a good question that all of you respect i'll try to find. for the time being. i cannot present to you or long least of regards struction and the will of projects we know that americans see in the west a quite a lot of money into building schools and some other social structural work but it's very difficult for me to recall any industrial or infrastructure projects that can support their national economy. let's search for sure when i got there should be not only asked bob it's a task that should be fulfilled through a couple of thank you very much for this and take my pleasure thank you very much. claim.

i. i completely didn't help for many years in a soviet system has faded away in less than twenty four hours as bella best got a push up coupled with below we acted in a true russian style we didn't know exactly what the future would bring that were to think about it later three leaders come together and sign an agreement dissolving the u.s.s.r. for good jobs to get rid of the so called big brother that was always controlling them was the dream of many republics for. her but then the allies of the people they put it like this i will liberate you from the kremlin oppression no one wants to take the blame but we would not be able to persuade gorbachev and besides he's worried could not be relied upon. he could tell you anything and do something completely different i can forgive myself for

a million to liberal and in the sand boris yeltsin or i should have that was my mistake. this is the decisive in strict boris yeltsin that sucks in the kremlin instead of good stuff at the time. when you know i don't think we have left elevator forest so easily. two decades have passed but the discussion still rages was this a plot or a fait accompli. the
