12:31 am
eighteen months of unrest have taken on the nation's people. because of the top stories next hour if you so be sure nancy talks to tunisia's foreign minister about the arab spring in his country and the entire region. that's six of the seven am tunisian foreign minister it's great to have you with us sara today thank you so another tunisia is now facing a political crisis over the extradition of a former top libyan official back to libya president has condemned the move and the parliament is ready to consider and no confidence vote to the government is your government not prepared to face the consequences alone of this one sided action that seems like they too could without the president of the there is no crisis of
12:32 am
course crisis it's easier there is differences between you know position. the political position towards the critics tradition of what you already agreed as a government to extract it would you be ready to demand you know what i need to come back to return but i need to a tree easier to be subject to trade so it's a very normal you don't tool extra duty or do you after a certain conditions in the make conditions but you were provided just. in the pound that the tried and we are really confident that this is would happen if you need to be talking about the fair trial your reaction is probably predict because your member of the government and your member of the ruling are not a party but we like here we get daily reports about deadly clashes in libya and the order is by far not yet restored do you really believe that they be as truly capable of giving a fair trial to cut deficits so should you assign the commission to libya to cut
12:33 am
things on the ground resort you are confident that you will have a fair trial huge. political discussions within your borders your people and they said that this is would be county for the map so this would exclude options of torture for example. absolutely tunisia is the pioneer of the arab spring if you look at it this way but right now you still don't have a constitution and you're saying the country is not in crisis but it's still kind of shaky could you say that revolution is over you know we happen to constitution for the simple reason this is one of the mission of the consented assembly to draft a new constitution we are working with. you know fix a date by the end of this year because i'm sure it will be a democracy constitution to see is moving in the right direction we have heart action it was the first democratic election in the modern history of tunisia then we formed a coalition government we have you know three political parties working together other think this model is positive and attractive. for positive not only
12:34 am
fortunately about for the whole region but if you look at the statistics for example to his economy fell down two percent this year unemployment is still high here president has fired they had of the central bank i think last week if i'm not mistaken it's not a crisis if you look at the figures to be more precise the economic situation is improving day by day when we started the government we have you know the level of course was one eight on the. growth rate and now we reach to five above zero the intention for investment is right in the rising craftily thirty percent so we are not really catastrophic situation is completed and the station is improved you know not i'm not talking about any catastrophe my question actually was do you feel like things are better off now that there where year and a half ago or do you still need time to meet people's expectations of course this is a revolution entrepreneurship by definition means to move move from one situation to another we are in process to dismantle the foundations and the pillar of the most
12:35 am
despotic and to authoritarian regime in the should and the process to set up the due for the action of the new political system so very you know it's very normal that we have certain difficulties here and there but things are moving country movie can the right direction just in your own opinion. your own prognosis how much does tunisia need to become completely stable and to provide steady growth having to do this or disabled politically speaking this is the first time in the modern history of tunisia that we have a real good political stability but what we have in the past is not political stability to start the school and this admission now we have political stability which is based upon democracy we need sometimes you know to set up the foundations of a new political system i think within one year or two years no more than that to use is coming back in normality and we are in process to come back to normality you know i think everyone would agree with the fact that there were economic and political basis for revolts in arab countries but there are many scholars that i've spoken to most of them agree that the arab spring was carried out with the
12:36 am
support of the west now you are someone who has lived in the west and you've come back when the revolt started in your opinion how much could have been established without the west's help new opportunities because it's completely diverse we have the view that the we're supporting. the previous despotic regimes but ideas mubarak was where the by product of the west in the name of political stability which this is really doesn't know not at all that it's reached because there is movement on the ground who maybe this political change in the region is not you know the americans or the europeans is the leader of the tunisian and the egyptian people of the region so you are saying that west had nothing to do you know support with the whole arab spring including libya because we did see nato bombing libya you know it's completely another story we have the feeling that what preclude the process of political change in the region during the last decade. western support for the despotic regimes intrusion it is completely diverse you know it's not the first time that fear rises over the tendency of more strict islam when it comes to
12:37 am
tunisian society how much of a challenge that for you for the new tunisian government to actually balance between secularism and moderate islam i think i don't see such you know contradiction between security and moderate islam. since we view our music open people one would believe that islam is like any other great religion is subject to different interpretations and different views and our view to islam is moderate and liberal but we don't see such contradiction between islam and maternity and we have such a process of reconciliation and combination between islam and majorities from a democracy since the nineteenth century by the founding fathers of the mission so we are we would be the line of accumulation within you know this long group that because you are formation within the modern history of islam well we definitely see a rise of islam in the north african region from what it seems from out our side at least we saw that the arab spring had more of an economic and political slogans on
12:38 am
the banners do you think that islamists are able to deliver those demands i think. political actors are more to do with of his good future as like any other political actors like you know leftist power issues or liberal parties they could deal with the economy situation and challenges and this is what we see already either in turkey or in tunisia and other parts and we see it in other parts of the other board you know the brits they're actually very enthusiastic about the whole arab spring and now we see them worried because they're saying there's the whole thing and the environment is like a new environment for terrorist recruitment and training really that you know absolutely i don't believe that you know our i don't like you know to follow up this discourse otherwise it does mean that democracy is but i think for the region i think the best solution for the region is to have more democracy not to preclude the name of the good the process of democracy in the name of terrorism or serves to do you know we already see certain you know by the two groups even in the us in
12:39 am
london and madrid that doesn't mean that we don't question the spanish or the rich democracy now on a different note i know that you have presided on one of the friends of syria conference. that was looking for the solution to the syrian crisis now or russia or china or ours or or iran were present at that point does it seem obvious at this point that the solution to this crisis cannot be found if those three countries are excluded we're already you know so they've iteration i wonder started you know the when we hold of the tide in the conference international conference with friends of syria. but you know the russians and the chinese prefer to not attend without conference we strongly believe there is no solution without the participation of the russians and the chinese in the syrian crisis what about the iran iran is also a regional player in the region we are keen you know to see ironically it to be integrated within the region while the oppositional syrian national council is
12:40 am
divided at this point the west is denying. a military invasion to the solution at this point does it seem like the entire assad coalition is out of breath and out of ideas first of all we don't like you to see any western military to venture an illusion we strongly believe that this suit problems is up to the syrian to to sort out their their cross' and problems this is true enough as are the other because we don't like to see any military intervention in the region and we don't like to repeat it over iraq in the region but i hope that this unity you know would listen to the demands of the cries of yes you people you serious people deserve. dignity like any other people in the region what would be in your opinion the best case scenario what should happen for that crisis to breeze off without intervention personally i believe with your minister not one you know the president you know passed through over you know over part of his authority to his deputy like what happens in yemen this is maybe the best scenario but this is needs the cooperation
12:41 am
