be partners with japan and we want to work out a common approach towards regional international problems as it were first and foremost as regards. illegal stability and building on the operation to the two countries and one more thing is to set up a good atmospherics that it would worthwhile to pursue a joint economy in the southern. islands and do that there is a good deal on our side russia of course relies on the herself for us that we do have the irrelevant federal programs programs in place a federal program. but we know that the business community of the chip pan and other some other countries for that matter are interested in seeing to it that they will implement jointly with us those projects of cooperation there we do have some promising areas like pricing of fisheries. infrastructure tourism and many other things to mention here and there are all opportunity is there such a cup action to be developed further on the basis of russian legislation to all of

this issues on my part of so we will be thought he discussed it with mr campbell my counterpart during the visit tokyo which will start in ten days i guess because. russia today t.v. channel. good afternoon sergey vexations. of late. we have seen the tension around iran there is an opinion that recent events in libya which has been developing in syria are also part of a bigger plan the ultimate goal we have so 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 is 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 on our part you know on 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 that we're countries we should lose inside of the general situation happening in this very important geopolitical area. and. both in the syrian situation and in iraq where this equation has a great it substantially in the wake of the american withdrawal yemen. other countries. and remembering. the fact that such aggravation of relations with ups. and you are over some are some arab

countries and iran's occurring active position taken by turkey or getting this process is sometimes you get. good and that's very concerning that's the deepening of. difficulties between shii and summits in the islamic i mean game and if this trend. your story is not curbed let's hear it can in tale of a very major conflict to occur precisely internally in the islamic world that show that 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 too. he's also claiming. that it's possible to play an important role in the islamic world but also. arabic

countries that would like to see through their isolation would not lose her positions traditionally egypt to play 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 and i wouldn't like at all to think that with the. threats and positions taken regarding iran put forward against iran's part of this process but 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 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 have mentioned the fact that we are not supporting sanctions even sometimes sanctions could be inevitable and this is exactly what happened when the. recent most recent sanctions on iran was taken in that secure council and we have 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 under some other countries as one sided. sanctions.

versus iran has nothing in common with the strive to ensure. of the and p t a regime this is serious this is aimed at. 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 are hindered just to give you the most listened to example or examples in august because the delegation of experts all i headed by the. deputy. director general of visit iran and for the first time they were at me to do the facilities where before they were not 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 go and he said guys of iran would also to begin with defector and then i would do your all commands to use the provisions of the additional protocol concerning iran and the provision of so-called modified gold three one. and 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 still it was made and all the situation has caused the unnecessary agitation on the part of. mass media that's a very comprehensive and difficult technical matter and when it's fading light in electronic media and newspapers you cannot explain everything there for the reader and it's leisure we will find it to be somewhat new which is not new at all together with our 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 have been noted that both iran and the agency you should recognize their responsibility for gauging such negotiations now on the basis of to fast lucian. a visit of x. but it is being prepared to iran that will be headed by the deputy director general of the nation 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 options 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 inconsistent once again with you know term. iran's made a step in a positive direction immediately we're seeing as you. are and i report which builds tensions and i justified freshened now again is rainy and sour 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. could be five plus one or three plus three it is sometimes referred to your security council permanent states plus germany should continue the book know what

you like get an information that is rainy and you can. also ready when you know the dialogue we are in german and judge shortly it will be hosted in moscow deputy head of the. security council of this country you. will also continue discussions with the european union leadership. lowest 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. your group of. your. good victory which i shall have a staff that is after a newspaper and losing their newspaper from

a prize yeah you mentioned the rule of law. and it wouldn't matter where you are which is important both domestically and internationally you would international court has been reviewing the case of a dislike shesher head of the so the radical party. you know he has been in prison for the nine years. judges have not been proven the court refuses to pay for trips off what no says his have been 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 in the heads of our state mr medvedev mr prosecutor general mr bush said that saga's shriller committed an act of genocide and mass murder and promised that the russian court well be on this case

that relevant document will be given to the international court of justice that has been done so my question is one final you will be the case initiated against saakashvili and one of the w 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. reached good wishes and good all its work and it was not perfect i mean it's like we're all aware of the fact that former president of yugoslavia milosevic passed away. in custody although his lawyers asked judge just to provide needed medical assistance we're also aware of the facts you just mentioned. that many accused mostly if not

only serves. are being treated. in a unexplicable a tough way on justify it and investigation takes eternity. so you. although those accused that represent both media they treat it differently. if they're found not guilty. oftentimes simpson. and we believe that oftentimes the tribunal is politically biased in its rulings although even carla del ponte whom when she stepped down as a prosecutor up to tribunals. and became free in her judgment. she spoke about number of facts. and as a result of her statements stick to your be an element deputy from switzerland

initiated an investigation of the so-called medicos case. and will make sure it is sent through to the end of the regime and we of course insist you know the attention of the u.n. security council when it reviews board of the work of the tribunal from yugoslavia on the cetacean of accused incudes and clouding the cetacean of shy shoulder. sure which from a contact with a servant about yes we are aware that he is not complaining about his situation as you know he is ready to continue jackson himself and if need it will be ready to render. assistance we have in accordance with legal assistant arrangements we have to serve as regards really a growing movement it would be wrong to say that when neglect in this matter we are

actively supporting russian claims that were filed by citizens of tel seaton russian citizens to the european since the court of human rights but this is a lengthy process it does not mean that it has been suspended and of course there's no link whatsoever what the w.t. oh. no no correlation she really because we cannot if you just listen you can 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. they were doing something constructive to my course on the interfax news agency. researchers the students in the green it's not one more question about w two this year russia is expected to finally exceed to the organization but jackson vanek

amendment still remains in place in the us you know when can we count on seeing this amendment lifted 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 iterations 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 a notice no one will be turning a blind eye to that time has long come to lift the amendment since nineteen times you know when it was passed with one and only aim to punish the soviet union's for its policy on. trick to. enter into an exit of its citizens machines. and that would mean 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 and in longer all of those that wanted to leave left long ago many came back already while jaxon van dyk remains in place. by the way the us themselves defacto into curates shrink a nice to ninety ninety four grounds that in russia the freedom of movement is guaranteed and sense which means. to russia it was recognized by the us as a market economy. so of course it's. it makes no sense that this amendment are still in place. and deprived of russia of the status of a normal trading partner with the us. in practice it does not

come because every year u.s. president tables to the congress and notification. exclusion 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 issue told to us to tackle over the past years and the senate for many reasons have been given to keep that link and its existence no longer with the jewish immigration question which is no longer an issue but with our position on whole tree or other minor issues. which wishing. for a big country. would not be appropriate to use it as a pretext to keep the commandment i believe now washington does have

understand. that this collision might be hard to hit the interest of the u.s. business circles according to our data about the administration are planning to start moving through congress of legislative initiative. which we are aware that the year's business very goals you are setting up a lobbyist structure since you. brought this initiative to lift jackson bannock but so far this rally act of cold war remains. and that means that in accordance with the use. law in december the ministerial conference in geneva they had to make a statement that w g o trade agreement will not be used collations was russia's similar statement was made by the russian federation so when directive

occasion about access accession documents to w.h.o. is over provided checks and benefit from mainz and place you then all i would able you to you can dream and will not be used in our bilateral trade with the us. marshals get this thank you question two from the chinese callbacks. that was good friends with the tribute to the central team in china india twenty twelve russia presidential elections will be taken place while in china the convent of the communist party it 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 ballad troll 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 could break into hers strand and prevent a repetition of the libyan scenario. in your question authority as you. 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 or global about the ship and international affairs used to make it up to you. is a natural thing it is not driven by. 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 creating favorable climate for domestic development china and russia together. washing. advocate for compliance with international law. you're in charge and including provisions 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 increase in our bilateral trade growing investment corporation good beautiful devices of modernization we don't think the job logically where our competitors we're not. competing for the spheres of influence not to now immediate proximity nor in two thousand kilometers away

from our borders i believe that russian society has come up with a consensus to wards our policies with china and i'm also aware that the chinese population is so bolting for the role of interaction with russia and we believe that we have good prospects for our corporation irrespective of who would be in they had a meeting of both countries and i'm sure that those trends about thirty to about now ship not determined by immediate interest you mentioned the role of the media we want to see media covering what you know as great detail as possible all aspects of our cooperation with the world and we have very good plans for the short run this school supply and russian gas through by a plant. second stage of nuclear power plants in china let us not forget that this

year is the year of russian tourists in china so we would of course. wish to see you cover this event as broadly as 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 is 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 development we introduced some amendments it was endorsed by russia china and some other brics member states. the priorities would be put an end to violence no matter the origin of violence 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 search you must make sure that these full demonstration must be treated separately from extremists though to try to use peaceful protests to instigate false 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 called great put 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 favor of finding these full solution to the syrian crisis in other matter of principle. which stems from the syrian moving experience you mentioned it clearly states our draft resolution but nothing industries or lose. it can be interpreted as if the mission to use force against syria by annie back to 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 they refused to answer the main question of why. the steps that have been taken by the opposition against the administrative buildings public buildings hospitals schools terrorist attacks that have been committed why shouldn't those. machines.

be. glad to it they refused to comment on that and they also 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 un 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 u.n. security council. 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 both arab troops and syria then well what 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. and responsibly they will not be blessed and be given part of it by the security council inter trust agency in place are. you sure given. what you think with regard to the upcoming elections in our country . what will happen to our foreign policies and then next thing if i may what's your view.
