sure is that so much of. which of course he wanted to hear the candidacy of paul what makes him tick why is he so popular among young voters why do republicans smear him wow. this is our area headline the syrian authorities accuse qatar and saudi arabia of suicide attacks in president assad strongholds reports emerge the saudis may have been the syrian rebels. the new egyptian constitution is not yet written but it's already in the center of a scandal with calls to dissolve the panel which is going to. make is in washington a legal lines over the freedom of assembly making it easier to throw demonstrators

behind bars protesting in areas where the u.s. president may be visiting is now considered a felony. but russia and china have stood side by side on their stance with the syrian crisis saying the conflict should only be resolved through diplomatic means the next we talked to professor. from the chinese academy of social sciences to find out more on why the two world powers stand so closely together. professor hare senior research fellow in syria western asia and african studies and chinese academy of social sciences it's great to have you with us here in moscow my pleasure so skeptics say that russia and china unanimously resist military solution to the syria conflict because they have significant economic interests are true so

what do you say to that is it about money you are well i don't think it's just the usual lot of money actually companies that are rational economic interests in syria china's economic interest in syria it's not too much it's not about their money issue actually is that you sure about principle how to. especially the international relations principle because it's are always trying as a policy people might be parties that i think of as the same as the russians following our policy as well that is where we should fully respect the sovereignty of all of our country and also we fully against the use of force trying to do change thought towards another country so any game change order you know a change of administration it should be undertaken by the people in that country by people themself i think that's the principles that are we are now defending it's a great principle and that has to be defended but for russia other than principle

and maybe anomic interests it's also an issue of geopolitics what about china other than the principle is there anything else where you are against military solution if we're part of other geopolitical in. importance of these syria. we are even told that you are wrong the whole me the use that you are because in terms of their all your resources. i think everybody knows that china have really depend on the oil or import from the whole of the middle east and also of course being our western region for example of that we are autonomous region we're also facing. exuberance forces there like our separate separatists and also some extremists so those forces they are also constitute a quiet sarratt to believe in china as a whole so we don't want to see even our forces maybe they would like to penetrate

it to our western area that's something we don't want to see more of those. extremist forces spreading or were towards our brother as you mentioned al qaeda i know that cause of muslims to support the rebellion against syrian president assad how do you think why has the initial fight for democracy turned into a terrorist calling i think that the factors behind this issue are quite quite complicated i don't think this is army that the message that you should actually given the sectors in our modern muslim actually eventually because outside forces has been has the in penetrated nowadays the so-called the freedom army of the syria now is not longer the pure syrian people resume freedom army turkey. raised here to have call their base the in turkey and i think i even even

some of our forces also involved in the rebuilding army so this information actually has been released by the cia from the united states and then later on has been confirmed by some other resources so now all of those fighting groups i think the economy complicating it much much more complicated than before. no you just touched upon the two segments of the syrian opposition the free syrian army and the turkey based national council also there are people there are industries are fighting for the barrel like this three pieces of the syrian opposition how cohesive are they rather how they are not so coherent because we all know the syria freedom army that basically in turkey there outside of syria then reason to syria there is another one called the whole of the nation group and then there is another called the national council so there are basically that us three

major opposition groups but both sort of the they are not united together so that these organizations and also those in fighting other two major features. groups are also our people inside syria how willing are the to listen to the opposition outside syria to the external i see they don't listen to those orders australians at all will come to us to record a lack of those so called the syria friends that conference the friends of syria coordination. group based thing syria in the country then they refuse to join the friends of syria conference so we are quite clear that means. groups at home they don't want to listen to listen any orders coming from. freedom army of syria because the a third p. or any others so they are five hundred for their rise separately independently what about the free syrian army firing inside syria are they and the people who came out

in the streets who were asking for a better life fighting for the same thing no other service they're fighting for the same same rights not as same goal that is the same for the. game that's the share the common goal for all of those people in the opposition grows by the way though no other details for example like the national council of the syria. they haven't put forward any charters for their life a more practical roadmap whatever national council i mean based in turkey based in turkey same thing also for that their coordination. with syria so i think a night of they have put forward what kind of for syria they are going to be with in the future when i worked turkey is it playing a constructive role in europe a name hosting forces that are eager to topple assad well turkey soon a role i think also is quite complicated that first of all they host. repl

switching group freedom army of syria so they served as the have color fought for them and they are going to hold the second the friends of syria meeting very soon probably already have a poll and also i think that turkey also use the country now leading the way from called for like some need to re support for those opposition party of course they also impose the same thing to the by share government so all of that but just to add those support put the wrong partner in the domestic fighting so obviously it's not so constructive for reaching that dialogue between those two fighting parties of the west's it is pushing for a humanitarian intervention in syria now of course one wonders really a pressing need for that or could that be a cover up for in military intervention like in libya i think to

a great extent all of those measures so far has been taken by western countries. seems at least to a kind of like you mentioned a cover for the future military intervention even though on the surveys now we have heard quite a large even from. this this or from european currently. they're seeing knowledge that military into regime is not a. belief when president obama says there will be no milter our action against us all it's hard to believe that because the only back to the legal war at the very beginning we heard the same in the seeing coming from the white house and coming from the nato they're saying military intervention is not the option of the late hour we have are saying very clearly eventually the military intervention. or a tentative left victims in syria are reported to be around seven thousand five

hundred people and both sides to opposition and the current claim each other for tweaking the numbers are you more inclined to believe the new number coming out saying it is sent so that number rising very rapidly so it makes. cannot be just the believe brand that we know that number now has been given by the un but what kind of resources they you can get those lumbers and they'll be translated back to two of the number there's the number you paid based. a group called to summarize observation group for the syria so that by the pool of collapse in those numbers and then this group that number this group of actors coming from those rebel forces so they send those numbers through this you pay based. observation group and then this group's and this lumber for the u.n.

is it a fair number yeah i saw it in real true spackle holders the resources change so i think this is just the one way of seeing and furthermore syrian government also gave lumbers they're saying even though you feel call it is a seven thousand casualties they are seeing at the least the one survey of the. those security forces they had being killed as well by those. the groups so now i think the real picture is still not so clear amidst the aspiring new syrian constitution was supported by ninety percent of the population and this new constitution aiming to smooth things out can these results really be trusted ninety percent of the population supporting the new constitution well the western media. highly about. high support in eight even when there are some where the high support here is there always about survival that even the election here in russia

so i think no matter it's true or not but at least the fact that he is a majority of the people they have custody of the parrot i think this should be should be the fact and also some of the vision team from i think from the for the civil civil society as they have also written is that all those are voting process so i plan to believe even though those those supporting read extremely high that tend to believe at least the like a seventy present should be. a majority should be. that she was beautiful fact do you think our side will remain in power and if he does what will his regime evolve into i think so far the situation is tends to be favoring favorable for the assad regime so if the situation goes like that the way there is no possibility for

any like a warranty a step down of this. jim but of course i also noticed like us president obama when he had to join the conference the. british prime minister there be they come along and he also these awards saying now it's not a matter of even by sheer regime will step down it's not a matter. it's a question of if it's just a question of one so which shows now you're not seriously squad to be coming to get it by sheer although if he is off base so by the close he is. in the wrong i think the term mean nation factor for this review will be there is not any outside forces can make final say thank you very much for this interview professor he pressured and here.

he gave. you.
