4:02 am
already said the lifting of the arms embargo is the only way to end the crisis which has been ripping syria apart for more than two years at this point having said that we have to remember that even the most of the e.u. countries there's a strong disagreement on whether or not it is actually a good idea to lift the arms embargo of countries like sweden netherlands in the czech republic believe that allowing weapons shipments to syria to the syrian rebels will only intensify the bloodshed in the country of course russia has been opposed to this idea all along is truly concerned about where exactly those arms going to end up then are they actually going to be in the arms of this so-called moderate opposition or will those weapons end up in the hands of some of the rebel groups who are being supported by al qaida terrorists who are known to operate in syria ironically well while the e.u. foreign ministers were meeting in brussels the russian foreign minister as well as the u.s. secretary of state were meeting here in paris and their efforts were directed at a peaceful resolution of the conflict also must go in washington directing most of
4:03 am
their efforts to bring together all sides of the syrian conflict to the table there was the first time that u.s. secretary of state has repeated a phrase that has been used by russia all along and that is that it's it is up to the syrians themselves to solve the syrian crisis they how it does seem like john kerry and sergey lavrov have agreed that they will exert pressure on different sides of the conflict that is moscow will work with the syrian government whereas the u.s. will try and make sure that the syrian opposition also attends the geneva peace conference which is due to take place sometime next month mosco also. wants to see so-called third parties participating in the peace talks and by the third parties others talking about countries like qatar and iran who are not directly involved in any sort of diplomatic resolution of the conflict but are strongly expressing their side in this syrian crisis of course even though their peace conference efforts are
4:04 am
continuing we have to understand that this lifting of the ban on arms embargo to syria is opening an entirely new phase in the syrian conflict it could be spelling out a potential disaster which will only intensify further bloodshed in syria. and we're getting reaction from the russian foreign ministry moscow says it's disappointed by the e.u. decision too and the embargo on arms deliveries to syria it says it's an example of double standards and causes directed damage to the prospect of an international conference on syria still on syria as we've just heard they they are concerned that there have been voice across europe over the lifting of the bad now they say the arms are could easily reach extremist groups fighting in the ranks of the opposition forces allegations of torture and human rights abuses at the hands of the rebels the situation could now deteriorate even further on the supply could
4:05 am
hamper any peace initiative there are also fears that more weapons will only fuel the conflict in syria but despite the lifting of the ban and to war activism richard becker says the arms embargo never stop the western supporters of the opposition. the arms embargo is a bit of a fiction anyway they aren't supporting into the opposition in syria but for coming from qatar and saudi arabia there are undoubtedly be organized by the united states and the other nato powers where they really mean is that they want to send heavier weapons and because the opposition has suffered serious setbacks recently and so we see it all about a push for it as i don't propose peace conference approaches on both a civil level and a military level to try to strengthen the opposition which is dependent upon the
4:06 am
support it's receiving from outside otherwise it does not have any hope for victory in turkey be deceiving he's clear that the leading nato powers the us britain and france leading the way and that their allies are client states in the middle east have all joined in this effort and what is really remarkable about it is that we have decided to try and so a concern for some of the for human rights and democracy in syria and. united arab emirates saudi arabia jordan these are all family my parents they are united in their objective that your objective is to bring down the government in syria to replace it with what would be a reasonable to u.s. interest as tired of a strategy of domination of the middle east. meanwhile one of the strongest you is advocates of the syrian opposition senator john mccain has made a surprise visit to syria for talks with the rebel leader with psoriasis can independent research and write to says washington is not entirely sincere when it

calls whole peace talks. all these are you against assad started in two thousand and three at least what's known to us openly and there was if lived an article written in the time magazine in december of two thousand and six which mentioned there had been secret meetings going on and they cited some secret documents in which it was stated that the opposition was being nurtured in europe with the american support so this much we know at the same time we know that john mccain senator mccain is always he went to syria to meet with the free syrian abberation army whatever they like to call them the opposition so america is involved in all this i don't believe america wants a peaceful resolution to the conflict america's started it i don't think that senator mccain would take it upon himself to go to syria and research with the
