if you just showed is a very warm welcome marty larger and more top stories this hour help pass the accusations over who is behind the weekend bombings in syria flow between rebels and the government of damascus claiming saudi arabia and qatar left traces of their involvement of the crime scenes. post revolution the old ways still dominate in egypt with critics accusing the new islam a strong parliament of turning the constitutional assembly into a farce. u.s. police received death threats after a crackdown along protesters blocking the six month anniversary of the movement with peaceful demonstrations. i'll be back with some of those stories again in

about fifteen minutes from now in the meantime 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 next artie talks to professor hay wimping from the chinese academy of social sciences to find out more on why the two world powers stand so closely together. professor head senior research fellow in senior west asian african studies and channels 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. the syria conflict because they have significant economic interests. hard to say what he said

to that about my view are well i don't think it's just the usual about money actually company or is there russia's economic interests in syria china's economic interests in syria it's not so much it's not about the money issue actually is the issue about principle how to be firm to especially the international relations principle because it's are always trying as a policy people matic parties and i think about same as the russians following our policy is we are better is where we should fully respect the sovereignty of our country and also we fully against the use of force trying to do any regime change thought towards another country so any regime change all other you know a change of administration should be undertaken by the people in that country by people themself i think that's the principles that are we are now defending that'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 a military solution if we talk about the geopolitical. importance not only syria can go. even to that you're wrong the whole me the use that well because in terms of the oil resources i think everybody knows that china has really done the oil or import from the whole middle east and also of course being our western region for example the weaker autonomous region we're also facing we've called history exuma is forces there separate person protists and also some extremists so those forces there are also constitute a quiet big sarratt to their beauty in china as a whole so we don't want to see. you go after. maybe the they would like to

appreciated to our western era that's something we don't want to see all of those. extremist forces spreading or work towards our brother as you mentioned al qaeda i know that it calls on 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 the factors behind. quite complicated i don't think this is are you that the message that you should actually given the sectors in a milder loosening actually eventually because outside forces has been has been penetrated nowadays the so-called the the freedom army of the syria now it's not longer the pure syrian people resume these freedom army turkey. basically have the have called there is the in turkey and i think even after you have our forces.

also you've watched. a billion army so that this information actually has been released by the cia from the united states and then later on has evolved some other resources so now all those fighting groups i think the background must be coming complicated much much more complicated than before 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 a better life this three pieces of the syrian opposition how cohesive are thing rather how they are not so coherent because. we all know the syria freedom army debate in turkey there outside of syria then we see in the syria there is another one called the whole of the nation group and then there is another called the national console so there are basically that us three major opposition groups of

bold. sort of the. together so that these organizations and also those in fighting are the true major features. opposition groups also of people inside syria how willing are the to listen to the opposition outside syria for the external i think they don't listen to those others or syrians i thought it comes as a record a lack of those so called the syria friends this conference friends of syria coordination. group based thing syria in the country then they refused to join the friends of syria conference so we are quite clear that means opposition groups at home they don't want to listen to any orders coming from. freedom army of syria is they in turkey or any others so they are fighting 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 them that is to pop down for a game best to share the common goal for all of those the for the opposition grows by the way they all know other detail for example like the national council of the syria they haven't put forth any charters for there are more practical roadmap whatever national council i mean based in turkey based in turkey same thing also for that the coordination council based in syria so i think the night of they have put forward what kind of syria they are going to deal with in the future what about turkey is it playing a constructive role in europe a name hosting forces that are eager to topple assad well a role i think that also is quite complicated that first of all the host. repl

searching. group freedom army of syria so they serve that has to have color for them and they're going to hold the second the friends of syria meeting very soon probably early of a poll and also i think turkey also is the country now leader the way you've been called for like some military support for those opposition party of course they're also impose the sanction to the bashir government so all of that dust and still support for the partner in the between the less the driving so obviously it's not so constructive for reaching that dialogue between those two fighting parties the worse it is pushing for humanitarian intervention in syria and 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 for a great extent all of those measures so far has been taken

by western countries. seems that leads to a kind of like you mentioned a cover for the future military intervention even though on surveys now we have heard quite a large. white house from the united states or from european countries they're saying now that we need to hurry into regime is not. yeah i believe when president obama says there will be no milter i action against arsalan is hardly too big to believe that because the only back to the libya war at the very beginning we heard the same in the seeing coming from white house and coming from the maid told us a military intervention is not an option and then later we have a saying very clearly eventually the military intervention that's the or a tentative left victims in syria are reported to be around seven. thousand five

hundred peoples and both sides position and the government claim each other for tweaking the numbers who are you more inclined to believe the new number coming out saying it is eight thousand so that number rising very rapidly so it makes science . cannot be just the believe brandon we know that number now has been given by the un but what kind of resources they used them compared to slumbers and then which received back to the london theirs and then you based. a group called to summarize observation group for the syria so that will of collapsing those numbers and then this prove the longer this group actually is coming from those rebel forces so they send those numbers through the u.k. based on human rights observation group and then they screw ups and this number for the us is that a fair number yeah i saw it. back on hold those resources change so i think this is

just the one way of saying and furthermore syrian government also gave lumbers they are saying even though you feel call it is a seven thousand casualties they are seeing at least the one serve out the. other serious those security forces they have being killed as well by those of the groups so now i think the real picture is still not so clear amidst this fighting the new syrian constitution 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 constitution well in our western media. highly evolved. high support in eight believe or whenever somewhere has the high support here is there always that you find that you actually hear russia so. i

think no matter it's true or not at the least the fact that he is the majority of the people have cause to go that route i think should be either the fact and also some authors of vision team from i think from a different the civil civil society as they have also written is that all those are voting process so i tend to believe even those of you read extremely high by that tend to believe the like is simply present should be. a majority should be . bad should be the 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 supposed to be favoring favorable for their assad regime so if the situation goes like that the way there is no possibility for any warranty yes they have done this out of

a sheer ridge you but of course i also note it's like the u.s. person alabama where he had joined the conference the. british prime minister made a comment on and he used these awards saying i'm now it's not a matter of belief i share. done it's not a matter it's a question of if it's just a question of when so which shows now you're not to say is the squad he couldn't get by sheer. off base so about the question is the situation on the ground i think best the term mean nation factor for this region will be there is not any outside forces can make final say thank you very much for this interview professor here my pleasure here.
