which disruptors the internet connection to go on time of day. and after months of protests over a failing economy reported no spaces recession has hit not just its people but its animals too many of the country's also condemned to death by the owners who can't afford to keep them. around right now it's our interview segment and today also he talks to the head of the belgium based c were in friendship association christiane since they may seem a regional tension in the middle east and why the current conflict a series now at the center of it. today we're joined by christiane sen he's an adult lister specializing in the middle east particularly syria renia relations and he also founded the assyrian 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 you

establish the basis of your opinion you establish this is so c.h.m. syrian friendship does that mean you are 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 pretty for a lot to offer firelands so if i say i'm ready for him i don't see i'm pro sets. but if you look to the reality in the city and go from the mint 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 to 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 for a nurse i mean this is not a forum in syrians are not interested in this is syrian people out of very. peaceful peaceful people. who 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 daraa. 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 town because this underlines once again the influence from abroad i mean. if the cuban situation in syria was really. a syrian. or a city and problem. trouble would have started from you know or 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 allies because they have their strategic interests in that region. also to. 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. but syria can be a transit country. you also have to know that or you would guess reserves in the former soviet union. the central asian states of the former soviet union so there for you to guess reserves. i think you have to sit in this context how do you confirm the identity of the rebel fighters if you claim that they are coming

from the outside therefore as 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 out 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 to be sure region

in syria or the people in accordance region in syria very already got a lot of. government from the government in damascus and of course turkey is not happy with this evolution this change of mind why are they so. anti syria no i think there are different theories is it going to be true would that be still have this. dream these aspirations to make of turkey again a. power. house 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 in

binyan of the western awards it's a hostile regime hostile to the. western world i don't think this is true because i feel stupid also many things to run and i can assure you that the ukrainian government is a very rational government spirit and government always stated a 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. you need in the police other 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 they will 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 op ed 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 really even realize. she goes through 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 story is it was socially sporty a lot of people say ok the president bashar al assad and his family to allow we are so this can be true but this is not. how can i say this is not the main factor in syria politics the main factor is the origin. the baath party is a socialist party where all religions sniff the good art and city as one of the few . maybe the only country in the middle east where you have all these denominations christian but also got the only christian orthodox christian clique orthodox might on its. own you share their living together for hundreds of your very peacefully.

but most people here don't realize this for them christiane so thanks very much for your time it was a pleasure. magine as much. bone watches you every single. and waiting for you to stumble. i saw a man with a video camera so i moved over and he followed me so what's up with that you know we realized that we're following everyone from early in the morning. the only chance to get rid of him. is to reveal him.
