hello again this is the headline. top members of the syrian government say political transition in syria can only be achieved through dialogue at a meeting in moscow they says russia was against democracy imposed by the. u.s. attorneys say they are being banned from talking about torture and silence that's military tribunals the sure used to be razor the pretrial hearings for five september eleventh terror suspects which are set to begin in nature this week. google denied accusations aid bribes bloggers to make them support the web giant in a high profile case google has been sued by the oracle corporation for violating parts into law and its use of untoward software. and up next inside to use segment

and today he talks to the head of the belgium based seaward friendship association chris johnson so the main the same that regional tension in the middle east and why the current conflict in syria is now at the center of it. today we're joined by christiane sen he's an analyst specializing in the middle east particularly syria renia relations and he also founded be a syrian a friendship association here in belgium about four years ago thanks very much travis for yes for joining us today the first question i'd like to ask to establish the basis of your opinion you established this is so c.h.m. syrian friendship does that mean you were considered pro assad as you had been portrayed in the belgian media i'm considering me as pro syria pro syrian people i'm convinced that the only way to get out of this crisis out of this bloodshed is

by following the path of forty four i'm not about to offer file ins so if i say i'm ready for him i don't see i'm broke sets. but if you look to the reality in the city and go from the men's who also is willing to follow this path or forum and you've written and said that the armed uprising in syria has been supported or started from be outside but do you also acknowledge the fact that the syrians from inside want change and what of what is the basis of your analysis on this i do believe is that the violence what we are seeing you know this has nothing to do with the forum this has to do with destroying the people. i'm also convinced . i have a lot of testimonies from from people in syria that a lot of. what they call the rebels members of the syrian free army it's a matter of fact they are foreigners i mean this is not

a forum in syrians are not interested in this is syrian people out of very. peaceful peaceful people and they managed to live together for centuries since. we don't have any problem. so the violence we're seeing no it's not a syrian products i went to that. which. which was the bets the year before where the trouble started. also that it's near to the jordanian border it's not a coincidence that the trouble started at the border there. at the border. because this underlines once again the influence from abroad i mean. if you're in the situation in syria what's really. a syrian. or a city and problem. trouble would have started from. our

homes a lot of. outside forces and governments are interested in the to destroy syria why because you have to remember the city has a very strategic position in the area in the middle east in the region i think the main targets as a matter of fact is. because iran is such a powerhouse in the region it's so strong. they know that to take out iran first they have to take out syria and i'm quite convinced if they would succeed to destroy syria the next order to get will be hezbollah in lebanon i wonder if these two allies are taken out. they will concentrate one hundred percent on the you know who are you referring to when you say they i mean to my opinion the united states and our allies because they have their strategic interests in that region. also

do. a lot of people talk about oil but you have to know syria it's not rich in oil they have some oil but it's not rich but of course the real oil is in saudi arabia and syria can be a transit country. you also have to know that or huge gas reserves in the former soviet union. the central asian states of the former soviet union so therefore huge gas reserves and i think you have to see it in this context how do you confirm the identity of the rebel fighters as you claim they are coming from the outside they're foreigners how do we have proof of that because they found a lot of. proof of this like. when people die in homes. they find identity courts passports of foreign people. they captured people with

a foreign accent who you really are from mercenaries or doing it for the money but you also have no al qaeda which is active in. syria because they hope to be find a new you know a new base to establish a new base over there let's just briefly look at turkey's role in all of this historically turkey and syria have had good relations what is the interest in turkey being rather aggressive now against syria what is the what lies in it for them to see unrest in syria as a matter of fact we're already seeing this because at this moment the kurdish region in syria or the people in accordance region in syria. already got a lot of. government from the government in damascus and of course turkey is not happy with this evolution why this change of mind why are they so.

anti syria and no i think there are different theories is it going to be true would that be still have this. dream aspirations to make of turkey again a. power. which it once was once was in the region. during the ottoman era. another factor is that. the factor of the muslim brotherhood they are not really anti western because of the origin of the muslim brotherhood. they are what we call it and. so they are interested in free trade with europe with the united states with the western world i mean we see now in egypt the muslim brotherhood we know with that thirty governments also the president is also pro muslim

brotherhood and maybe they are hoping to establish a new government in syria also pro muslim brotherhoods for economical economical reasons and also political reasons of course because you cannot really split this and you said that the ultimate target in this geopolitical story is iran what is and this is not the first time that this opinion has been voiced or what is your analysis on this where iran is concerned it's fairly clear to me not only to me to a lot of people that purpose is to destroy the iranian regime because of being in the western awards it's hostile regime hostile to. western waltz i don't think this is true because i feel stupid also many times to run and i can assure you that the ukrainian government is a very rational government spirit and government always say to nuclear program. is

a civilian program. while in the west they say no. birth person is to get more of a nuclear weapon and then they told me why should we. anita in the pure the weapon i mean even if we manage to make one the prettier weapon. there is a difference between having a nuclear weapon and to be capable to deliver it so there is a big technical step between these two phases and they see even if we have one nuclear weapon and they think we're going to use it's. the american government and their allies there will be almost to the middle ages so they have no interest in going to being destroyed it's so they are much more rational than most people here in the west think now all the opinions you voiced today it's contrary to the

general narrative that we find in a lot of the press lot of the analysis here in belgium or in western europe how is your work and your opinion is received in this part of the world unfortunately. most people. here in belgium but i can also. see maybe a broader picture of the western world to your dope in the united states. they're not really aware they don't know what really the situation in the middle east what they know about it's based on cliche is you know like a very black white picture you know the good guys and the bad guys and even amazed that a lot of people don't even realize. she goes through at the chicken location of it and for them it's somewhere over there in the middle east and the same with syria i mean a lot of people don't know that the origin of the bathtub or city it was socially

sporty a lot of people say ok president bashar al assad and his family dollar we are so this can be true but this is not. how can i say this is not the main factor in syrian politics the main factor is the origin of the baath party the socialist party where all religions lift together and city as one of the few. maybe the only country in the middle east where you have all these denominations christian but also get all the christian orthodox christian clique orthodox matter i need. we were living together for hundreds of here very peacefully but most people here don't realize this for them christiane thanks very much for your time it was a pleasure.
