that's have a look at the headlines about peacemaking mission a delegation led by russia's foreign minister heads to damascus because bloodshed in syria gathers momentum against a backdrop of diplomatic clashes. greece sacrifices fifteen thousand more jobs and to appease its international creditors as austerity ravaged populations because of a general strike. in the center of. documents discovered in libya and britain's m i six spy agency
1:31 am
a new edition of dissidents the. rationing mentioned more than alms on a conference. for the world community is now at loggerheads over how to stem the bloodshed in syria today we talked to bahrain's foreign minister today what his country believes should be done to stop the violence. is next. has. been our guest today is his excellency shaikh khaled bin ahmed bin mohammed al khalifa is the minister for foreign affairs in the kingdom of bahrain is there anything you would like to say to the russian authorities about their position on the syria issue well the situation in syria is both difficult and dangerous not just for syrians but for all arab people everyone who wants to see peace and stability in the reaching out of the initiative put forward by arab nations was clear it was approved by syria the only question remaining is whether it will be
1:32 am
implemented properly and we've sent our our servers there and they were in danger unable to fulfill their mission but their reports and do indicate that the situation is extremely dire. the material served to us by the head of the observers mission and what he reported to the arab league differs from what we heard from other observers we agree with the syrian authorities that foreign military intervention would not be tolerable we don't want to see that happen and we do not support calls for it not a single country in our region is calling for a military invasion in syria the question of an authority change in syria by whatever means is not part of a common arab initiative we have agreed on those issues and we know that's why russia is obstructing the adoption of the resolution of syria in the un security council. if. many think that the situation in syria is declining in part due to the fact that western states have not adopted the unified solid position on syria needed if the un security council is to adopt
1:33 am
a resolution in russia's case the motivation behind stopping the resolution was clear but the west is not a single minded on syria as it was on libya do you think that's true yeah. the thing is after what happened in libya any country would think twice before committing to specific measures the situation in our region is extremely volatile the region under the jurisdiction of the cooperation council remains fairly calm and safe i think gone are countries are doing all they can to keep it that way the policies of other states however are not helping to bring peace or stability to their regions the countries are divided into tears major or minor according to their geopolitical standing how close they are to one state or the other and their world in which in affairs and so on a regime change in a minor cursory would not lead to big changes on a regional scale and syria on the other hand is very important to the region and we have to think very hard about the possible repercussions and complications we might have to deal with before we interfere in syria's affairs you know haven't been over
1:34 am
there. taking into account the battle cries we hear especially from american and european media do you feel that a full scale war might break out in the region that would harm all gulf states. and that will obviously having worked in the media for a long time you understand a lot about politics and we've engaged in global politics for a long time to have the cries for battle ever stopped we hear them constantly throughout our lives they come from the west to the east and the north we can't simply ignore those calls will work on our own military policy as we've been hearing war drums throughout our entire lives and we've become used to that but we must take the situation seriously it involves an atomic bomb which iran has developed because the i.a.e.a. the region is unstable due to interference by various forces around geopolitical situation is affected by what happens in iraq iran afghanistan the peace process is constantly threatened that israel is still threatening as it always has to strike
1:35 am
out against iran and its nuclear program we are concerned by the fact that a neighboring state appears to be working on a nuclear program which could lead to a region wide disaster if an emergency occurred therefore we work all day every day to relieve tensions in the region and to reach a mutual understanding that we have to work on that we have to take this situation seriously the war drums you mentioned and not getting quieter and they won't stop in the near future event. could you give us more detail on the discussion about security in the region where. there might there are direct external threats coming from countries who don't want stability and security in our region as well as internal threats coming from within the region are relations with their own are currently threatened we find them on satisfactory they're on stable and contradictory which we're not happy about especially as representatives of the cooperation council we are beginning to fear
1:36 am
a deterioration in our relations with iran as well they're threatened by the unstable situation in iraq which developed after the u.s. forces pulled out of the change in the iraqi government policies relations between berkery and iraq have always been good historically speaking. but the statements we'll hear coming from iraqi politicians and regional governors aren't in line with our tradition i was referring to specific threats to the cooperation council nations that there are also certain hidden threat to stability and security in the region and that these have to do it but arrange relations with the allies such as the usa the e.u. and russia we'd like to have a clear strategy and clear mutual understanding of problems of regional stability and security with all of our partners we're trying to make our region safe for foreign trade vessels and contribute to global economic growth if we and our allies had a clear cooperative strategy and we would have no problems with security has to belittle in a region where we can achieve that by establishing open and transparent relations with
1:37 am
all of our partners and that's what we're in a full as well is the gulf countries peaceful nuclear program intended to counter iran's nuclear program or would you have developed it anywhere on earth yes we do have such a program but we're not going to use it to stand against anything else the issue of iran's nuclear program is an international one but we live in this region and when it's discussed with iran the conversation turns political and touches upon many other issues when something concerns a particular region the opinions of those living in that meeting must be considered there are big and influential states in this region the cooperation council must take their opinions into account but i'd like to say that we are no less concerned about instability in the region and then with the iranian nuclear program sometimes we can't help but feel that many other issues it's not our biggest concern getting back to the gulf country's nuclear program and i'd say yes but firstly it won't be
1:38 am
built to oppose any other regional nuclear program whether it's iran or any other country secondly this issue is still being discussed and a specific legislative framework is being worked on with the i.a.e.a. this program will be peaceful and transparent. every stage just that it's required to be and we're working on that with total understanding of our full responsibility . before him tackling the challenges to regional security addressed the issue of strengthening cooperation with russia an important international stabilizing force but we know the position of bahrain on this issue do you think your partners in the cooperation council will listen to these calls and take any specific steps to make cooperation with russia even closer than it is now. i can answer positively not only on behalf of bahrain which cooperates with russia in many areas including that of regional security also corporates with the u.s. and e.u. countries with china japan india and many many other states we also see
1:39 am
a positive response from russia regarding all areas of cooperation and the benefit from it russia has always played a major role in international affairs and russia has a great power russia should be present in our region a troll is indispensable russia has put forward an initiative on security in the gulf we supported it and confirmed it in a joint statement adopted during a visit by our king to moscow and signed by him and president medvedev this initiative calls for all political forces in the region to develop a single approach to gulf security. to rally. the last summit of the cooperation council for arab states of the gulf put forward a proposal to create a commonwealth have they taken any steps towards achieving this goal. the summit itself saw a number of steps on transformation of the cooperation council into a commonwealth as proposed by the king of saudi arabia a working group has been formed and the group is to hold a number of meetings to come up with its proposals in me and the annual summit of
1:40 am
the cooperation council in riyadh steps are being taken not only as proposals and but also in terms of concrete solutions. if you remember our previous interview we discussed the initiative by the king of bahrain to set up an intern commission on human rights and a special commission to gather evidence of human rights violations has this initiative been approved if so what's been done so far. cannot we've achieved two goals the first is that a commission on gathering evidence of violations has been established the commission is studying the events of the past year and. it's submitted a report to the king which as far as i'm concerned has been broadcast live around the world now another commission is to implement the twenty four proposals listed in the report and that's been set up another thing is that a high ranking government of commission has been created to implement the tasks imposed on the go all proposals concerning legislation and the digital system will
1:41 am
be submitted to parliament for approval the second proposal by a monica was to create a human rights court in the arab world and that's hugely important of europe has an international court on human rights america has a court on human rights with its headquarters in costa rica arab countries don't have such an agency only the arab charter on human rights is in place and we don't have a competent body for anyone to address his or her issues over human rights violations this proposal has been submitted to the arab league secretary general and will be considered at the assembly in march this year we're watching this process and continue to work on its adoption by the arab world is part of the whole why the world and in no way differs from it we're not trying to condemn anyone but the point is that our society must move forward and for us that's crucial. been ahmed al khalifa thank you very much for your time.
