he speaks with syria's deputy foreign minister for the government's take on a solution to the crisis and his reaction to international efforts to mediate stay with us. the doctor fi cell general robert mood head of the united nations supervision mission in syria explains that the u.n. observer mission has been suspended due to an escalation of violence a lack of peaceful options for resolving the conflict and the warring parties determination to strengthen their respective military positions to thank you for joining us. thank you but would you agree these were the main reasons for suspending the mission or was there a different perhaps hidden rationale behind this decision. first of all when syrian trusted the observers with capabilities and special privileges that were
12:32 pm
unprecedented for such un missions and we were confident that this would help leave to carry out their plan and therefore contribute to the implementation of the kofi annan plan secondly there was never a time in the past two months when we would deny the observers access whenever they wanted to visit and inspect any area in syria except for places insurgents prevented the visiting now let me give you a short and straightforward answer we have identified three or four principles of interacting with the u.n. mission first we agree to the kofi annan plan however what they say i'm convinced that we have delivered a lot on the six point peace plan we do not agree and will not agree with many of the statements in this regard especially those voiced by parties that are known for their hostility toward the kofi annan plan secondly like i said we did cooperate with the u.n. observer mission and provided it with every possible privilege and thirdly we ensured the observers personal security throughout their stay and in all of their
12:33 pm
movements around the country this is exactly what has enabled us to deliver on the peace plan in many aspects number four we did not prevent the observers from moving around syria and going any place they wanted. convinced and this is the opinion of the syrian government that the only feasible solution for the crisis we're facing is political dialogue supply me insurgents with any type of lethal weapon including communication equipment does nothing but impede a peaceful settlement and result in more bloodshed for syria and. the head of russia and the united states have expressed reciprocal concerns regarding arms shipments to syria russia is arguing that only supplying damascus with what it describes as exclusively defensive weapons in accordance with the existing bilateral contracts in turn moscow has accused the us of arming the syrian opposition. i would like to point you to the practically unlimited military aid that the us has been providing to israel which includes sophisticated hardware and
12:34 pm
even w m d's as a nation currently under attack syria has the right to procure weapons that it can use to protect itself its sovereignty and its people as for the countries that have been supplying the terrorists with weapons this is a proven fact that we have brought up time and again we are requesting mr kofi annan and those who support his plan to urge these governments to stop providing material and financial aid to the insurgents and supplying them with state of the art weapons and communication equipment the united states and france and some of the gulf nations have been providing the militants with that which in turn contributes to escalating violence in syria if they were to stop such military aid the syrians would be able to sit down at the negotiating table the very next day and launch a genuine dialogue for nationwide reconciliation in other words it would help consolidate the syrian people and resolve the dangerous situation that is threatening our region and the world in general. that it has been argued recently
12:35 pm
that the military in syria should take it from here and ensure genuine security for the public and that is there really a split in opinion between the military and the policy makers in syria over how to solve the crisis. mean i'm in love. i think that people who say such things are simply ignorant about what is really going on in syria i believe this conflict can be resolved with peaceful means it is obvious that the so-called opposition and the armed terrorist groups and their sponsors are no match for the syrian armed forces then why doesn't the syrian army just wipe them out when my ask first of all they are concerned about the possible civilian casualties and devastation this might entail including the possible destruction of privately owned homes and public facilities such methods will once in use but that was a long time ago i believe that the entire syrian public should put an end to the
12:36 pm
hostilities with every faction of society brought to the table regardless of their various interests and aspiration what the so-called opposition should sit down and negotiate because more bloodshed will only result in their own homes and families being affected by violence making reconciliation even more difficult for them. the the international community has repeatedly addressed the syrian government as the most influential stakeholder in syria capable of resolving the conflict what has the government undertaken recently to find a way out of the crisis whether some people like it or not we are indeed strong in the face of such challenges and we have conveyed this to international officials and anybody who approached us we are stronger because we work in the thick of the action and we have genuine power we lose our troops every day to terrorist attacks and we knew civilians who were killed by militants for no reason simply because an
12:37 pm
insurgent is instructed to kill a certain number of people in a specific area when armed rebels intimidate shop owners into shutting down this stalls this is presented as an anti government protest whereas it is really submission by business owners afraid of their property getting burnt down if they disobey there are no real protests the people of syria are still confident that the government will help them out and that the reforms launched by the government will help resolve the conflict and ensure security and solidarity of syria as well as the entire middle east as soon as the armed opposition stop spilling blood and killing civilians peace and security will be restored in syria this will pave the way for a nationwide dialogue enabling the government to implement its intended reforms that will provide peace and stability for syria and. iran. and what russia has recently called for a meeting that would include every possible stakeholder including all the neighboring countries and other middle east nations even those who support the
12:38 pm
syrian opposition as long as they are committed to providing a peaceful solution for syria do you think the opposition will embrace such an initiative would such a meeting be successful. we believe that the russian initiative is a constructive one we know that russia's attitude toward syria is based on three fundamental principles respect. for the u.n. charter respect for human rights and respect for the principle of national sovereignty as opposed to the colonias mind set maintained by the united states and its allies such as france the u.k. and a number of other e.u. member states this also refers to some of the arab countries who act as minions of america and the west and blindly follow their orders with regard to syria i believe that russia's initiative is in the best interests of syria and such a meeting should be helpful in accomplishing what russia sees as the purpose of such dialogue and such a meeting should involve every stakeholder no matter if they side with us or not
12:39 pm
but there must be one commitment that every party sticks to namely that there should be no attempts at subverting or undoing the kofi annan plan all in all i'm very confident and optimistic about the future of syria. thank you and thank you for being with us. they've been living this way since the seventeenth century. their rituals are strict. their communities are isolated. they clearly missed english between their own and the area. and guard their family and things as
