football riots erupting what saeed that's raging parents vent their frustrations in the suspension of. up next i'll see talks of the lebanese foreign minister i've known sir who warns against military intervention in syria given his perspective on how political ructions there are felt across the region. this is your first visit to moscow as a foreign minister according to your joint interview with mr lavrov your deliberations have largely focused on the syrian crisis how do you assess their results at. our meeting was primarily focused on the bilateral relations between lebanon and russia we also discussed a lot of other issues of mutual interest it is apparent the middle east has been going through a very difficult time before we've discussed the developments in the palestinian

territories the threats facing the gaza strip israel's actions in the occupied territories and especially the situation in syria russia is standing on the syrian issue convergys with that of ours in that sense it's as clear as day we are just as concerned about the issues of series security and stability as other neighboring states and the entire international community. we seek to restore stability not only in syria but the entire international community the events in syria escalated into hostilities and armed resistance against government forces from the very start armed groups fighting against the government being financed and supplied with weapons destroying civilian facilities we hear calls for military intervention coming from within syria as well as internationally we see one party in a conflict backed against the other that is the opposition big supporter to fight the government we are very much concerned by the situation in

a political transformation is not to be achieved by force planets produces more violence every country has its political opposition every opposition movement in the world with a push for its agenda through violence the world will go up in flames therefore any political country should promote their agenda with peaceful democrats. it means that such as rallies it is unacceptable to fuel violence smuggle weapons undermine government institutions and destroy sovereign nations never known stance has been as clear as that of our russian friends from the very start russia opposes a foreign military intervention that it opposes the notion of supporting one of the conflicting parties and its opposes violence as a means of promoting a political agenda it is against resolving the issues of transformation and change of political climate by other countries for the sake of certain policies in regard to the time at least. i feel for what happened with the proposals made by mr coffee

urn and more mention during your joint press conference with sergey lavrov and it was announced that russia and lebanon are determined to support these proposals all the way to adopting them as a un security council resolution what is your opinion of the essence of these proposals and why the and. the resolution hasn't been prepared that certain matters abated scarfs to the world wide five points mr lavrov spoke those are the main points certainly as a session of violence by all sides of the conflict the other points out ending the military intervention providing humanitarian aid to the neighbors searching for neutral monitoring means and providing assistance to the special u.n. envoy kofi annan in his efforts these five points are the foundation for the joint work on taking syria out of the crisis and developing a fascination with these five settlement plans are very well balanced and logical

who would speak against ending the violence on all sides of the conflict whereas it had been previously said that the syrian government had to stop its aggression as if it was the only one guilty of it special envoy kofi annan is proposal also mentions violent secession by both sides and demonstrates a well balanced approach to the issue of having. to stop violence not only on the part of the state but on the sides of the conflict as well. is there an inflow of refugees from syria to lebanon today. there is a lot of this reporting on this issue tonight some allege there are twenty thousand thirty thousand or even forty thousand refugees but those are dramatically inflated figures as refugees come to lebanon from neighboring areas in syria where there is fighting at the moment this can happen in any country people are trying to stay alive by seeking shelter with relatives or friends who live across the border officially there are a few hundred refugees maybe some two thousand or three thousand at most but these

are temporary refugees wrong. once pieces are stored in syria they will return home many syrian families have relatives eleven on it so they have invited them to stay with lebanese people are also providing humanitarian aid to those in need and. what about the desert is from the so-called free syrian army and lebanese border guards have reportedly irresolute some of them and are planning to hand them over to the syrian authorities despite calls by several international human rights organizations to refrain from such a move. the status of those disasters is essentially different from that of refugees who merely seeking a place to spend a few days away from hostilities looking forward to returning to their homes once peace is restored should armed people trying to smuggle what was entering or out of syria are a different story altogether illegal arms trafficking or two from syria forces

a lot of these governments to take action in order to prevent it a. desert is an infiltrator have been arrested and will be put on trial in accordance with the lebanese law or the way it should be counted in any country in the lebanese military and security forces are presently concentrated on the vicinity you. the syrian border in order to monitor movement and prevent armed individuals from sneaking out into syria because such traffic destabilizes not only syria but also lebanon. the commander of the un entering force in lebanon has called for these army has below what do you think about this statement that. we have repeatedly stated that the lebanese resistance forces are forced to bear arms due to the ongoing occupation of a part of lebanese territory by israel that israel continues to make its forces

across that territory by sea and and land on a daily basis which is a constant source of danger that is why we cannot tell the freedom fighters in southern lebanon to lay down their arms while they are faced with a constant threat from israel that israel needs to stop pressuring and threatening us all the time so that we can feel that our peace security and stability are not endangered but we will still need a force capable of protecting us against such current threats that we can revisit this issue once occupation is over and lebanese territories are liberated. and. the u.n. security council is closely following the then soon the middle east and that lebanon as many friends around the globe including some of the councils permanent members would be possible to push for a u.n. security council resolution that and virally as a road to end its daily flights over the lebanese territory. the new year we are against the policy of double standards when great powers back one of the parties in

a dispute this policy is a source of great suffering in the middle east of the occupied territories and there are un resolutions addressing them we do not insist that the international community should throw its weight behind a sinister spirit but we demand that the international agreements and resolutions should be respected and observed how can we feel safe about our future. can we look forward to peace and stability with israel pursuing a policy of intimidation in the occupied territories from southern lebanon to the golan heights to the palestinian territories the changing demographics in palestine the ongoing illegal exploitation of its territory and water resources and the continuing pressure to force out the native population will never bring peace it will only aggravate the situation all across the middle east the same is true for the golan heights where israeli settlements are being set up and the demographics of game change israel also continues to occupy parts of lebanese territory that we look to the united nations to implement the agreements and resolutions adopted back

in nineteen forty eight. un to demand that israel should observe and follow these resolutions and agree that regrettably there is no power in the world that could force israel to abide by these resolutions what we clearly see here is a double standard policy applied to almost any vitally important issue in the middle east take the iranian nuclear issue for example iran is a member of the international atomic energy agency it is being held back from acquiring its own civilian nuclear capabilities on the pretext of its alleged intention to develop a nuclear bomb. israel is not even part of the i.a.e.a. and yet it is allowed to have its own you're clear on what we call for disarmament in the middle east alchemy achieve this we've never sceptical interest from the other party oh well i'll have.
