2:30 am
which will start in ten days i guess of place russia today t.v. channel good afternoon sergei vexations. of late. we have seen the tension around iran there is an opinion that recent events in libya which has been devote evolving in syria are also part of a bigger plan the ultimate goal leaves of which being to destabilize iran what should do. so to say to cope with this mighty pressure from outside or the ultimate purpose. basically it would be not to put an end to the nuclear program of iran but rather to topple the ruling regime in this country and well you know. this quite a serious matter is specially bearing in mind you've posed it in the context of a broader regional perspective of development and i'll bar at us on
2:31 am
several occasions we had a chance to talk about the fact that we are concerned. so to say. with the fact that beyond these problems of which countries we should lose this side of the general situation happening in this very important geopolitical area and. both in the syrian situation and in iraq where this situation has a great it substantially in the wake of the american withdrawal yemen. still other countries. and remembering. the fact that such aggravation of relations ups. are over some are some arab countries and iran's occurring active position taken by turkey are getting these processes sometimes you get
2:32 am
a hint. and that's very concerning and that's the defining of. difficulties between shii and summits in the islamic i mean game and if this trend . yes is not curved it can in tale. very major conflict to occur precisely internally in the islamic world naturally like with any other civilizations there is a struggle for implants. taking place there iran is an asian country with their own traditions and culture and history i would like to play a more active role turkey to. he's also claiming. it's possible to play an important role in the islamic world but also. arabic countries that would like to see through their assimilation would not lose her positions traditionally egypt to play
2:33 am
a leading role in the arab world today and for understandable reasons egyptians are more focused on their internal problems therefore this movement is quite serious encompasses many regions. i wouldn't like at all to think that. the. threats and the positions taken regarding iran put forward against iran's part of this process now fact of the matter is the external forces. should not try. to split the islamic world on the contrary. they should work with a view to making the islamic world reliable stable part of all of us. thinks of the moderates to address any international problem without islamic world
2:34 am
to counter those threats and to meet the challenges draws is not a possibility today to be more specific concerning iran. on several occasions we've mentioned the fact that we are not supporting sanctions even sometimes sanctions could be inevitable and this is exactly what happened the. recent most recent sanctions on iran was taken in a secure council and with adoption of that sanctions all other conceivable sanctions which could affect the conduct of iran in a nuclear field or getting their cooperation with the i.a.e.a. were exhausted therefore now that lopsided you know lateral. western. additions are made by wasn't countries and other countries as one sided. sanctions . versus iran has nothing in common with these strivers to ensure you know any of the and p t a regime this is serious this is aimed at.
2:35 am
you know putting a loop. to stiffle of the economy of iran and there the situation of the iranian populous and probably instigate their dissent were positive there are chances to resume talks between the six and iran there. and we're very concerned we're very concerned that this process is sometimes our hand or it is just to give you the most listened example or examples in august the delegation of experts all i am headed by the deputy. director general of visit iran and for the first time they were at me to do the facilities where before there were no. allowed to go. by all means is a positive signal on the part of iran it's a step in direction of all those appeals which were addressed by us to attack iran so that in addition to the mandatory for all agreements guarantee said guys of
2:36 am
i.a.e.a. iran would also have to begin with defector and then i will do your all commands to use the provisions of the additional protocol concerning iran and the provision of so-called modified gold three one you and i once again in august. there was an noticeable gesture made to that iran would be ready to go in that direction on their part in a number of suddenly we had a report of the director general of the i.a.e.a. which. presented some facts which has been known for over seven or eight years but for some reason he decided this time to qualify those facts as a qualitatively new. situation regarding the iranian nuclear programs as a confirmation of the fact that allegedly around to having their own nuclear program some military aspects once again there were no justification for such conclusions
2:37 am
still it was made and all the situation has caused to unnecessary agitation on the part of. mass media that's a very comprehensive and difficult technical matter and one it's fading light in electronic media and newspapers you cannot explain everything therefore the reader and its leisure will find it to be somewhat new which is not new at all together well as the chinese partners we had to be very active on this matter the governing board in october last year and there's all that and we're thankful to our western partners that we have come to a consensus and resolution which does not dramatize the situation. on the contrary we've got back to square one to the context of. the need funny go between iran and the i haven't noted that both iran and the agency should
2:38 am
recognize their responsibility for gauging such negotiations now on the basis of to best lucian. it's a visit of x. but it is being prepared to iran that it will be headed by the deputy director general of the administration iranians have agreed to tackle specifically all metros that give ground to any concerns about the existence of potential military nuclear program once again just like an old term. where the same so-called spoiler spoilers action it seems as though. the e.u. decision on a new serious sanctions was timed to coincide with the visit sanctions include bad news for sales of a new all in limitation substantial limitation of operations with the iranian central bank i'm not saying that that was done on purpose but we're seeing a strike in ukraine said and once again. in autumn. iran's
2:39 am
made a step in a positive direction immediately west seeing as you. are and i report would you build stanchions and i justified fashion and now again is rainy and so ready to host a delegation is ready to start serious discussion while european union. passes new sanctions thus deteriorating the environment for those negotiations and it is unlikely that they will be productive not to mention threats to use force against iran which unfortunately are still being heard to will continue and so sting that. the five plus one or three plus three it is sometimes referred to security council permanent states plus germany and others should continue their work now. we get an information that is rainy and. also ready. for dialogue
2:40 am
we are going and judge shortly it will be. hosed in moscow deputy head of the. security council of this country. will also continue discussions with europe be in union leadership. as well as the authorities of iran trying to agree on the date of the next meeting i believe that now we all need to focus on those practical steps not on sanctions and especially not on threats to use force over to you. so again victor rejects the russian. stuff that was after a newspaper and losing their newspaper from up high zero you mentioned the rule of law. which is important both domestically and internationally
2:41 am
international court has been reviewing the case of a dislike of shesh and had all of these so been tragical bhakti. has been in prison for the nine years. judges have not been proven the court refuses to pay for trips of what the says he's have in health problems nonetheless he remains in custody so my question is what russia is doing and what could be russia's response my second question three and a half years ago august war took place you had about a state that mr medvedev mr bowden prosecutor general jacob mr bush said that saga's shriller committed an act of genocide and mass murder and promised that the russian court well beyond this case that relevant documents will be given to the international court of justice no doubt that has been done so my question is one
2:42 am
final you will be the case initiated against saakashvili and one of the w t o's a session was the reasons for. slowing down on the case as regards the international tribunal of only yugoslavia we have been long in favor of closing down those tribunals because it has. did all its work and it was not perfect i mean it's like we all aware of the fact that former president of yugoslavia militia which passed away. in custody although his lawyers asked judges to provide needed medical assistance were also aware of the facts you just mentioned. that many accused mostly of not only serves.
2:43 am
i've been treated. in a neck and explicitly tough where i'm justified and investigation takes eternity. although those accused that represent both here they treat it differently. if they're found not guilty oftentimes. and we believe that oftentimes the tribunal is politically biased in its rulings although even carla del ponte whom when she stepped down as prosecutor of the tribunals. and became free in her judgment. she spoke about number of facts. and as a result of her statements stick to be an element deputy from so isn't initiated an investigation of the so-called medicals case. and will make
2:44 am
sure it is sent through to the end. we of course. note the attention of the u.n. security council when it reviews report of the work of the tribunal for me of a slightly under siege creation of accused think you clouding the situation of shy shells huge from our contact with our serbian bulkiness we are aware that he is not complaining about his situation as you know he is ready to continue this action himself and if need it will be ready to render. assistance we have in accordance with legal assistant arrangements we have to serbia as regards our cause surely groom it would be wrong to say that we're neglecting this matter when we are actively supporting russian claims that were filed by citizens of tel c.t. and russian citizens filed to the european since the court of human rights but this
2:45 am
is a lengthy process that does not mean that it has been suspended and of course there is no link whatsoever what the w.t. oh so no correlation. because we cannot. compare. our accession to the w t o important is that might be with terrible crimes that were committed by saakashvili that can never be forgiven and a fox news agency. so ok to my course on the interfax news agency. there's. not one more question about w two this year rush is expected to finally exceed to the organization but jackson vanek amendment still remains in place in the us. when can we count on seeing this amendment lifted
2:46 am
and if it is not true would that mean that you would not comply with part of a commitment under the w t o in its relations with the us well of course that might happen because unilateral restrictions imposed on one of the w t o member states will not pass unnoticed no one will be turning a blind eye to that time has long come to lift the amendment since nineteen times before when it was passed with one and only aim to punish the soviet union's for its policy on. restricting. entrance and exit of its citizens' machines. and that with that manned first and foremost the freedom of jewish immigration this issue has been long tackled over twenty years ago no restrictions are in place any longer all of those that wanted
2:47 am
to leave left long ago many came back already while jaxon van it remains in place. by the way the us themselves defacto into curates nice to nineteen ninety four and that in russia the freedom of movement is guaranteed and sense. to russia was recognized by the us as a market economy. so of course it's. it makes no sense that this amendment are still and. place. and to prized of russia of the status of a normal trading partner what the us. in practice it does not harm because every year u.s. president tables the congress has
2:48 am
a notification. yes that was by his executive order but he says bans and amendments he has such right now with legislation and he uses it every year but legally it remains in place we believe that it's an internal a huge hole to us to tackle over the past years in the senate many reasons have been given to keep it lincoln its existence no longer with the jewish immigration issue which is no longer an issue but with our position on the tree or other minor issues. which. for a big country. would not be appropriate to use as a pretext to keep this amendment i believe now washington does have understand. that this collision might hard to hit the interest of the year's best
2:49 am
the circles according to our data about my administration are planning to start moving through congress of legislative initiative so we are aware that the year's business very goals are setting up a lobbyist structure. to support this initiative to lift jackson bannock but so far this relative cold war remains. and that means that in accordance with us. law in december the minister conference in geneva they had to make a statement that w g o trade agreement will not be used relations with russia similar statement was made by the russian federation so when we are ratification of our access accession documents to w.h.o. is over provided checks and vanished from mainz in place you then old devil you
2:50 am
chiro agreement will not be used in our bilateral trade with the us. marshals get this thank you question two from the chinese colleagues. that we. good. to be true which. until to me china india twenty twelve russia presidential elections will be taken place while in china the chines convent of the communist party will be electing the new leader what do you think will the general trends be in the russian chinese relations in the forthcoming year and what role could journalists play in developing biological relations my second question is it's common knowledge that the west is building pressure sanctions pressure against syria could china and russia through joint efforts break and reverse this trend and prevent
2:51 am
a repetition of the libyan scenario. russian authorities. have stressed on many occasions that the current level of russian chinese called gratian . is the highest in the history of our bilateral relations with children spect trust taken into account of key interest of each other have become integral components of about our bilateral dialogue with our global about the ship in international affairs. is a natural thing it is not driven by. its immediate interest. it is. oriented had long run our positions are traditionally close we support each other striving for territorial integrity both russia and china define as priorities of foreign policy
2:52 am
creatine favorable climate for domestic development china and russia together which . advocate compliance with international law un charter including. visions have to do with the nonuse of polson not threaten to use force in international affairs and we need to find peaceful solution to any disputes and we just like china are interested in seeing increases in our bilateral trade growing investment corporation. what about the size of modernization we don't think the job politically we are compactor to we're not. competing for the spheres of influence not in now immediate proximity nor in two thousand kilometers away from our borders i believe that russian society has come up with a consensus to wardes our policies with china and i'm also aware that the chinese
2:53 am
population is a bolting for the role of interaction with russia and we believe that we have good prospects for our corporations irrespective of who would be in they had. of both countries and i'm sure that those friends of those who teach it but not sharp and not determined by immediate interest you mentioned the role of the media those who want to see media coverage as great detail as possible all aspects of our operation world we have very good plans for the short run. supply and russian gas through by appliance. second stage of nuclear power plants in china let us not forget that this year is the year of russian troops in china so we would of course. wish to see you cover this event as broadly as
2:54 am
possible and we hope that it will interest our general public and the tourist operators from china as regards syria and i mentioned. that issue already there's a draft resolution on the table which in our view is just it was tabled to the un security council september last year it was russia and china that co-sponsored the straps resolution but. now after a few months in light of recent developments we introduced some amendments it was induced by russia china and some other brics member states. the priorities would be put an end to violence no matter the origin of. and secondly we need to make sure that all parties of the conflict must be pressured to put an end to the conflict both authorities and the armed opposition third you must make sure that these full
2:55 am
demonstration must be treated separately from extremists though to try to use peaceful protests to instigate opposition fourthly the draft resolution is trying to make sure that the mission of observers of the league of arab states has full support want and that all parties of the conflict and opposition groups call prate with them in full and fair of the draft resolution he said just as a whole for immediate national dialogue with all syrian players a matter of principle in that draft resolution is that it clearly state that all u.n. security council fully complies with the u.n. charter principles of no interference in domestic affairs nonuse of polls on threatening to use force. and are in favor of finding these full solution to the syrian crisis in other matter of principle. which stems from
2:56 am
the syrian. experience you mentioned it clearly states our draft resolution that nothing industries or lucian can be interpreted as of the mission to use force against syria. any. partition and those two latest points are acceptable for our western partners so when you hear them say that our draft is not tough enough to wards the regime there if used to answer the main question why. the steps that have been taken by the opposition against administrative buildings public buildings hospitals schools terrorist attacks that have been committed why shouldn't those. be. glad to and they refused to comment on that and they also
2:57 am
insist that we should. lift from the resolution the body which states that nothing in this resolution can be interpreted as permission to use force i do not want to quote any russian proverbs but once again i want to continue insisting and we and chinese colleagues agree that it is a matter of principle that those points should remain in any resolution that might be passed by the u.n. security council and now the red line which is very clear first we're not endorsing any sanctions because you know actually in both sanctions were imposed without any consultation to trash all china and now about this want us to. approve or security council through u.n. security council sanctions that we did not agree upon did not approve so that would be my answer if someone is trying to use force it any cost i already heard calls to
2:58 am
impose troops in syria then well we will tardily be able to oppose it. if somebody wants that to be done very much on their part but let it happen. on their own initiative let it be. fair. responsibly they will not be blessed and given power to the dead by the security council in terry agency please. surrogate. what do you think with regard to the upcoming elections in our country. what will happen to our foreign policies and next thing if i may what's your view of the future of their russia belarus and their relations and is this union state viable at the current juncture at first as regards the future of foreign policies
2:59 am
after elections i bricklin fully mentioned that in my introductory i will add to that that defining policies. in accordance with our constitution is carried out by the president it's based on this solid ground so clear and logical interests hammering out these principles has become the outcome of the lengthy process of reflecting on the current juncture of policing the world in the stance of russia in the world today. and we have formulated those principles and the pathways to implement that mean such a manner so that we could ensure the consistency and predictability of policy activities we are aware of the fact that our citizens would like to see their country independent strong confident. coming out for fairness and the international arena for.
