. we're joined today by syria's that p.t. foreign minister thank you very much for joining us despite all the efforts safe to put an end to it the violence in syria is continuing and things to be increasing why is the syrian government been unable to put an end to this well actually it is the very strong desire and determination of the syrian government from the very beginning to put an end to violence but. the ball is not in the court of the syrian government or the syrian people it is in the court of those who do not want to see these and stop it insecurity in serbia but particularly those who are calling the flaring every now and then for

arming the armed even enough for all sorts smuggling of arms and weapons into this sort of totally from the neighboring countries and also financially. and forcefully which is very unfortunate is distorting the picture of the reality of what is really happening in syria and hence comes to the if we say which is now the talk of the moment about the plan and on a plan calls for ending of violence which is true also for six zero point but again at the same time it calls for commitments by the neighboring countries by those who are supporting that from the part of the syrian government why the violations of the peace plan still happening in areas like chile what you have said is that this.

supervision mission of the united nations especially the chairman of the president of the mission has clearly said that the syrian government and also it is have really cooperated with the mission. facilitated their entry and facilitated their movement as well. also it is. he said also that yes the government and or so it is have always drove the vehicles and heavy vehicles or from the centers of the towns which means that they serve in government did cooperate and this is a fact in your facts on the ground that i did not hear from the commission any statements saying that the serbian government has violated on the contrary what i

heard from them and i read and hopefully you have read from them that up till now all three thousand five hundred violations by the armed groups have been committed they are great fun hits a level that could fit into them so just talking from the side of the government's . part in this peace process now that the un are trying to implement in syria i mean in some of the areas we visited like it lead both sides a very clearly breaching the cease fire that they're trying to put in place they're not really even be as drew your attention to. this statement by the commission and by. mob himself that yes the government and there are so it is are being provoked by the. armed

groups and the way in big asset it is do any action it is only in self-defense. now also there have been some. state many some some declarations by. the human rights council and the human rights commission. admitting themselves that they have been misled by the opposition to say what they said foreign interference can only go so far to explaining the instability what part do you think the syrian government the regime has to blame for what's happened what's happening now well i cannot say to blame the serbian government or not to blame the serbian government but our people have decided that there is no way.

there is no way but a peaceful solution a peaceful dialogue. a peaceful solution and settlement to this crisis and no way but if you follow the huge well planned. sanctions against the people. which is affecting now its impact is on every family on every. one one can ask why these sanctions are you punishing and sanctioning the people themselves lebanon's being seen to be dragged into this area and unrest at the moment how hard is it for the government the syrian government with this crisis spreading over now and some of these neighboring countries well it is no secret now neither to the lebanese nor to the syrians nor to the word. the nothern part of lebanon which is

tripoli and the region have become or they have been trying to make it the center for insurgents to come in with the certainty of a tree to create chaos create provocative and it has become it which is against the interest of the lebanese people themselves. the vast that has been loaded with. different types of weapons highly sophisticated weapons smuggled into lebanon on that have been arrested by the lebanese government and gives a clue of why and to whom it was sent from this is a big big danger at a time at a time the european navy are patrolling.

who wanted some legitimate demands by the government yes yes these their demands are rightful legitimate under started to do something then they started saying that it is peaceful demonstrations but that as a matter of fact it was not. under the government under us that it is. started to say these are not peaceful they are provoking they are killing the people they are kidnapping and nobody believed under when the government started. the truce or started to be revealed it's only recently they said yes there are armed groups. now as they said and that only recently now they said there are terrorist groups

they are to have a strong ropes where do you think the final responsibility for what is happening in syria right now life he should take responsibility the final responsibility not you . i'm sure that's me but i would ask i will answer this in two where is there are two proverbs that say. if you would deceive me once shame on you but if you would deceive me twice shame on me now the deceit was there from the very beginning of what was called the. arab spring but everybody saw and witnessed what has happened in libya egypt traumas etc. what is the
