are bearded men with kalashnikovs there are some people who are trying to direct the uprising from abroad you represent grassroots opposition do you think that your long time goals for this country of the future that he and visit. is actually being served by the ongoing question well it's a very important. question thank you for that. you know it's not easy now to decide that. what we've struggled for a long time to achieve in syria is within reach nowadays because too many complications happened in the uprising of syria when i said you must have the uprising started peacefully or do you really didn't predict towards freedom and dignity and percy. but. there was a curve the events because the regime decided to treat that was to wish him only by military means us forcing syrians to hold arms to defend themselves at the

beginning and then there was a chance really an important chance for extremists and the opposition to enlarge their forces and to. gain support from some regional states and maybe global as well their national i mean. that's who are the things started to get. worse and worse but we still stick to hope because we have to and we are still fighting to gain a peaceful political process in order to preserve the syrian people aims from their uprising do you have any specific idea how we can farther you can start this political process because everybody is talking about every conflation but nobody knows how to carry this out. we are

trying to. sort out any kind of understanding and a kind of agreement on the. international scale to calm things of the political parties involved including the americas versions trying is there a principle there of. the states that it's still way sure that everybody is losing and the result of the situation if it goes on will be a lose lose situation and no one will benefit from that. and that's why everybody must cooperate. to congress the military groups first of all the regime second round groups all the opposition that it's time it's high time indeed to come to

a cease fire and to start negotiations about what to do and how to arrange some peaceful future for the country of course this includes the president and his from the must step aside at least for a while. and the power must be passed on to some acceptable personnel from the regime acceptable to the regime and accepted to the opposition as well. to start a presentation of period in which. some new constitution and some new legality will be established in the country if those transparent elections here in visiting . would result in the current president assad getting the majority of votes would that be acceptable to you and i guess most importantly would that be acceptable acceptable to the world one says. any person accepts the

principle of voting and the voting is really legal and transparent everyone must accept the results the outcome of the elections you spent fourteen years in prison and definitely your have an axe to grind with family why are you not among those who are carrying arms at this point why no you're not fighting him because first of all being a studying and practicing politics for decades and i came to the conclusion which is the only logical conclusion that arms will lead to the destruction of the country and not to democracy that's why it's harmful way it's useless and it will. support the extremists on both sides that's why from the very beginning it was very

clear for me and for others that peaceful struggle is the only way towards. the democratic future of the country you know in the western eyes the home grown civil of position and armed groups are perceived as allies given what you just said why haven't you or groups who support you been more vocal in trying to distance themselves from using terror for achieving political goals among the armed opposition you have different political goals. and different political attitudes i believe in many groups through the armed opposition declared. they will be. in favor of a political circus on certain terms and conditions of course what others will not

respond to that we have some stellar fifths some that is an islamist will have their own agendas so among the syrian real and peaceful opposition. there are really connections with some armed. opposition groups. and there is a common understanding. among them not to harm the civilians and not to attack any. infrastructure establishment or it's only. illegal to use arms to defend lives and civilians now from the very beginning you've been strongly against. international intervention into syria in the forest and one can argue

that what we have now in syria is a form of government military intervention because you have lower forms going through your borders even you admit that there are some foreign nationals fighting the syrian army in the north rich do you think is more damaging the open libyan style military intervention or covered by its so lasting intervention in the form of supplying arms believe. it is. completely imaginary when you are right up like in syria it's impossible. the excess circumstances of the syrian lead to. circumstances what happened and why we're here to answer number two yes day after day the struggle and the fighting in syria is. coming some kind of

a proxy war now day after day that he seems number one and the only group in the opposition. becoming more and more hostages in the hands of that are like. we are losing that. independent decision. they cannot apply what they think or believe and. because they need support in arms nomination and fine until. it's at or etc etc freedom can mean very different things to. many different people and the footage that we often get from the north of the fighters. shouting allahu akbar. there are also reports that they are fighting for the creation of their islamic state. and my question to you is is there any danger that in search for

greater political freedoms syria may lose other forms of freedom for example social religious gender for them and you know all those other aspects of dignity and freedom is simply very frankly yes there is a possibility now and it was not. created just to accommodate through days that the syrians may risk some of the freedoms that they are used to it's a possibility but there are other possibilities as well that's why we say now you cannot preserve your rights by just being afraid of what it you must be active. we believe that the majority of the syrians would not true was any kind of original state i sometimes get an impression that here in syria the hatred for their opponent within some people is chong the law for their own country and they would

rather be right than merciful to people around them how can you in the current circumstances and given your experience how can you foster this period of conciliation given how far this situation has gone already among some serious the majority of the syrians among the active. syria's not. the majority is not active yet and those. of us who has to go from time to time what on earth is going on how are you doing that yes we are questioning themselves but i believe this is a reaction will come there which will come to an end sooner or later because it's not there you culture or that reads this. history or the

crucial to such an organizing committee who say they've learned a vital lessons one hundred fifty specialists from such organization committed learning from the experience of london again as theirs and of course the way our colleagues. treated the challenges they faced deserve on the marks. this is similar to where we have to bring into the structure those problems included ticketing issues at the start of the games and there were empty seats at some then use however the problem was quickly result secondly there were concerns about congestion in the center of london and that didn't turn out to be a problem and that was in no small things to the thousands of volunteers who guided to and from various so things to learn there but such organizers have taken comfort from the fact that the development of the black sea resort is similar to the

development of the olympic park in london like in so in london in a way to the most depressive region of london. into the region with a well developed infrastructure for the south of london just like i say in such a way of creating the new city. in the middle of nowhere which will turn such into the all year around to sort the international winter sport just a nation what to do with these venues after the olympics is always a key issue in london many will be used for years to come and if they're not they will be removed and that's also something such organizers want to copy but it's not on the tangible legacy like new roads airports or power station all the new hotels and the venues it's much more be on. going green construction. we have
