the collaboration that pakistan has had in the last ten years pakistan has bit of a heavy price for that but it is also a fact that pakistan inhibits the region inhabits the region and will continue to have inhabit the street and this region has some serious problems the region has some serious problems but into terrorism and pakistan has always maintained that it is important to have collaborative joint efforts to be able to rid the street and rather than follow sort of unitary approaches. in how we want to rid the street and you mentioned. the price of your involvement in afghanistan has been pretty high many thousand of your citizens lost their lives millions people have been very placed there estimates that it cost your country around seventy billion u.s. dollars but we often hear criticism about pakistan's or all. involvement in afghanistan from the american side do you think the united states

treats you fairly. i would like to answer that question by seeing the. two solid robust partnership is that each able to live or operate within the bounds of what is. believed to be you know what has been agreed as far as treating fairly is concerned i think pakistan has in this particular case not been treated fairly by anybody for that matter because pakistan continues to lose lives pakistan continues to lose in terms of economic costs in terms of the social cost i think sometimes that is not emphasized on enough so we continue to lose in many many ways but some times the rule that is that is put on pakistan is rule which is understandable which defies logic so to speak because if the first country to benefit from is. the one stands pakistan and the first country to lose from in you

know unstable understand is also pakistan so pakistan stick a very high and that is what is commonly believed that yes pakistan sticks are very high but pakistan sticks are very high in having stability in that one is to not instability in that one stan so we have maintained and we stated very clearly that it is really for the one people to determine what course of action they want to take in any way possible whether they want to have strategic alliance with country a country b. it's a sovereign country we must respect them as that but pakistan's rule in any way can only be there to support of i think seeing that pakistan is cause of the problem and is creating trouble is an imaginary solution it is an imaginary blame it is an imaginary looking for an answer but the real solutions to real problems have to be faced you know on the ground now as we all know that the united states has been taking on a lead role in this military operation. why do you think with all its military

power and the resources that are invested into this campaign why anything. results are not that impressive as a few there could be i think i'm not the right person to answer that question it should be somebody from the us administration i want to question to be right i don't think it is important whether the u.s. is succeeding or is winning in afghanistan or not what is important is that of one the stand is winning or not because the goal of the u.s. and pakistan and the region and all the forty eight countries which operate in the one the sun is to make of understand when if i may come back to the issue of american criticism for just one question president obama said a number of occasions that one of the reasons why the united states is using drones to file for your territory and to hit targets on your territory is because the pakistani authorities allegedly. are not in control of their

own land and my question to you is. why pakistan tolerating the use of military technology that are hitting targets on pakistani land that ultimately oftentimes lead to the. loss of life among the pakistani citizens of this is one of the major problems that keeps us from achieving our successes in our view. not only completely illegal and under full and have north resolution to be used within the due means of international law but even more importantly they are counterproductive to your objective of getting this rich region rid of militancy and terrorism and extremism because if one strike leads to getting a new target number one or target number three to be you're creating five more targets or ten more targets in the militancy that it breeds in the in the for doing that it gives to the militants to attract more people to join the ranks we are

today in pakistan suffering from the consequences. you know many other powers of the world decided to do in that region to rid itself of the challenge that appeared in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine which was the soviet invasion of one star not in trying to deal with that we have created certain groups which are to be. a challenge to everybody so again do we want to repeat the same mistakes again clearly pakistan doesn't think so and pakistan has categorically said that it is illegal under full counterproductive other any than your senior of your reasonable values that pakistan could take in case of drone attacks beyond forcing it's concern or a distraction my question to you is it just an issue of some countries allowing.

greater freedom and greater purpose far off foreign policy tools than others that would be a very unfair world and i hope that's not a world that we are moving towards and therefore the questions of illegality and under full. is extremely important one and. currently no compromise in pakistan about that if you look at as i said i think this is partially one of the major reasons which is responsible for where we are today and pakistan as a country which. considers itself to be a sovereign country and to do this to be an independent country has therefore decided to reassess the whole terms of engagement because for to us it is very clear that this is not part of the terms of engagement if that clarity is required elsewhere i guess the parliament will be in to be able to define it but please mr approach that need to be taking is not that of a confrontation the prudes they've been taking is that for doing the partnership

which is which is based on mutual respect and based on mutual interest that just last week. and her reports was leaked to the media that pakistani security forces and maintaining contacts with. terrorism and extremist organizations that are operating in afghanistan as far as i understand there was. an allegation that they're supporting them financially. is this true first of all this is not a new to report we were told by need to at least that this is a. single person not report but it's in the country and a single person and pretty much. all the aborted because this is not a new accusation or allegation that to be made on part of the specific context of the mentioned were with the taliban of all to intelligence agencies i think every intelligence agency in the world particularly the ones which of world. i mean. with

one group or the other and all of them at some level and these guys are now pretty much out in the open because people openly got involved talking to these. i think just creating you know this is this is something which is not even worth a comment quite frankly the united states is expected to withdraw its troops from afghanistan and a matter of a few years is pakistan looking forwards. that. pakistan you see again came here with some goals and objectives we would hope that most of those goals and objectives are met or at least partially met and we would hope that when the. understand of one son is a better place than when the first came but the long term presence of foreign troops in the region is always always counterproductive. yes but we would also be very very mindful of what is the situation on the ground when they leave because

instability more instability is clearly something that this region cannot cannot afford i'd like to switch gears a little bit and ask you about iran you know the west now piling its pressure on that country which is your neighbor and longtime partner. how would pakistan respond in a case of military strike against iran we would strongly ask all countries to desist from any option which is military at all because this region has already seen too much and we do not want any further destabilization. we feel very strongly that these things can be done you know in the on the negotiation table that there should be flexibility shown and that dialogue should be considered to be the only via forward and it would have disastrous let me go to pakistan feels it would have disastrous results for the region what about syria do you support a military intervention against assad regime we support no military intervention

against in the region because we feel that independent sovereign the territorial integrity of a country are important aspects and there in shined in many many places now what we need to ensure the international community is is that violence from any side is not given lunch is not allowed to. move forward thank you very much for a time minister thank you. wealthy british scientists sometimes explicitly. say market why not succumbed to find out what's really happening

all of the bouts prior to the night's main event the russian light welterweight turned up the heat in the fourth increasingly mendoza was put on the back foot by some nifty flurries of jabs and punches from our dear but it was the twenty nine year old russian who was carrying the open wounds and splashing the ring with blood at the end of the fifth round. and then in the sixth the animal came out seeing an opportunity unleashed a vicious number of punches to put mendoza against the ropes. the russian fighter thought it was all over at one point raising his arms in the air only to be brought down to earth by the bell mendoza now looks half the man that had entered the ring and with another savage onslaught by his opponent had to be protected by the referee bringing the end to the brout in a technical knockout. i liked the idea of gladly receive the w b a federal latin
