dres of international law. as national summer and now would like to give the floor to peace in the valley what has been presented on one of our most popular shows cross talk it seems like we live in the age of opposition. and we have the arab spring and heard about europe and the crisis there. and the occupy movement united states which our team did an excellent job in covering but what about the opposition in russia public opinion polls show it's very small not much support what kind of opposition would you like to challenge you at a certain point we saw the police cracking down on the occupy wall street activists i won't call the actions of police appropriate or inappropriate my point is that every opposition movement is good and useful if it acts within law if they don't like the law they should use democratic means to change those laws which they should persuade voters to join them and they should get elected into legislatures so that they can have a chance to change the law if there are people who act outside the law then the

state must use legal means to impose law in the interests of the majority that's the way it's done in the us and that's the way it's done in russia truth be told we're criticised for that but when the same thing happens in the us it's considered to be normal never mind that it is double standards we have got accustomed to this and pay little attention to it when they talk about it when it happens in the us to growth america. but i wish you do the right thing in that everyone must be treated in the same fashion because these two situations are identical because i'm the only difference is that our diplomatic missions don't actively cooperate with occupy wall street and your diplomatic missions work together and directly support russian opposition but i think this is wrong because diplomatic missions must force ties between states and not meddle in their domestic politics. getting back to popular movements if they express their will by legal means without breaking the law then they're fully in. title to do that in this case it would be beneficial to any state

because it's a way to provide grassroots feedback on the state policies whether it be social domestic or foreign policy. the next question is from oksana boyko the present of our new south she moved into presenting up to several years of reporting for our team which to me iran is a great example of how you can create extreme tension and mutual relations by blowing out of proportion some insignificant differences the iranian nuclear issue that everyone's been talking about for the last decade basically relies only on some vague suspicions tehran is partially to blame for the tension build up but the root of the problem is the stance of washington their signature foreign policy principal friend and foe divide russia has a good record of avoiding tension in relations with other countries your public statements indicate that you know the cost of admitting it so where is the line for you between avoiding an all out confrontation that could have an impact on russian

security and maintaining our principles position which could to be critical to our security. first i've repeatedly voiced russia's official storms iran has the rights to a peaceful nuclear program and it can't be singled out for discrimination for his second we need to be aware that iran is located in a very challenging region i've told our radiant partners about that that's why iranian threats made towards neighboring countries in particular israel threats that israel can be destroyed absolutely unacceptable this is counterproductive. this is not a proper hotel of the iranian president and on. the great thing you could it doesn't matter whether it's a problem quiet or not it means it's best to avoid a wording that could be improperly quoted it could be interpreted differently that's why the focus on iran does have a reason behind it but i have no doubts that iran is complying with the rules simply because there's no proof of the opposite when they courting to the latest

i.a.e.a. report iran has been abiding by the commitments it has taken up with the truth there are some outstanding issues but with jew patients in friendly attitudes they can be resolved but i have a great respect for iran and a great interest in it they're very proud of a country they have their own understanding of their place both in their region and in the world and that's something you have to respect if you have grasped the core of the problem arabians are very smart and cunning politicians and to a certain degree they have exploited this confrontation with the united states when there is an external enemy it united the nation but i guess the united states have been employing the same technique after the collapse of the soviet union they have been no external threats that would allow washington to dominate the west there must be a threat so that the u.s. can protect their allies from a of this position yields political and economic benefits if everyone relies on one country for protection then this country is entitle to some preferential treatment

so it's very important to possess this status of a global defender to be able to resolve issues even beyond the realm of foreign policy and security issues i think the u.s. has been using a run for this very purpose that it is to unite their allies in the shadow of a real or full strength of actual official across the level can i clarify something the thing is i was asking you not only about the u.s. and iran and relations but also about the u.s. russian relations which i agree that we have fundamental ideological differences on key issues have been. to national law so right on the eve of my meeting with you at obama you are pushing me to make some serious statements and it's a very important mission and if the country thinks it has more rights than others you know there are stories i mean i thought you wouldn't notice my deviation but you did indeed you are very persistent to date we don't have any significant ideological differences but we have fundamental cultural differences individual ism

lies at the core of the american identity while russia has been a country of collectivism take scarlett o'hara from gone with the wind for instance she says oh never be hungry again this is the most important thing for her russians have different far lofty ambitions more of a spiritual kind and we have different visions of life that's why it's very difficult to understand each other but it's still possible for one and i mean that's why there is international more to create a level playing field for everyone. you know starting with the u.s. is a very democratic state there's no doubt about that and it originally developed as a democratic state when the first settlers set their foot on the continent life force them to forge a relationship and maintain a dialogue with each other to survive and that's why america was initially conceived as a fundamental democracy with that in mind we should not forget that america's development began with a large scale ethnic cleansing they wiped out the indigenous population then they

were slavery and that's something that is deeply ingrained in america in his memoirs us secretary of state colin powell revealed how hard it was for him as a black man and how hard it was for him to live with other people staring at you it means this mentality has taken root in the hearts and minds of the people and is likely to still be there will now take this sort of a union we know a lot about started now that we know him as a dictator and a tyrant but still i don't think that in this spring of one nine hundred forty five stalin would have used a nuclear bomb against germany if he had one he could have done it in nine hundred forty one or nine hundred forty two when it was a matter of life or death but i really doubt that he would have done it in one thousand nine hundred five when the enemy had almost given up and had absolutely no chance to reverse the trend i don't think he would now look at the us they dropped the bomb on japan a country that was a non-nuclear state and was very close to defeat so there are big differences

between us but it's quite natural that people with such differences that determined to find ways to understand each other better i don't think there is an alternative moreover it's not by chance that russia and the us fortunate alliance in the most critical moments of modern history that was the case in world war one and world war two even if there was fierce confrontation our countries united in the face of a common threat which means there is something that unites us and here is honest to see attack in the highest passion may come from new york for this meeting what i mean. american politicians and russia experts these days i often hear them acknowledge off record that the magnitsky act has effectively come first plays the jackson event a commandment which demonstrates the same outdated approach towards russia as we know when barack obama met with mr made that if during the summit and so last year he made some hints saying he would have more flexibility after election.

i see you guys just don't get off the banks do you. know this is the last question i promise. about my hand to murder a little easier for him to call create with russia however that is not what we're seeing today we've already touched upon many of our remaining issues with the us why do you think the reset has not worked and can it ever take place in the first place as an equal recycle process or is it the trash is always expected to sector five its national interest. there have been specialty should national press any state pursues its national interests in the u.s. is no exception what's unique here is that the collapse of the soviet union left america is the world's single leader but there was a catch associated with it in that it began to view itself as an empire to its course but an empire is not only about foreign policy it's also about domestic

policy and empire cannot afford to display weakness and any attempt to strike an agreement on equitable terms is often seen domestically as weakness and on the us but the leadership cannot afford display weakness due to domestic policy considerations i think the current administration realizes that it cannot solve the world's major issues on its own in the first they still want to do it and second they can only take steps that if it for an end by domestic policy considerations play a huge role otherwise you would be accused of weakness in order to act otherwise you either have to win overwhelming support or they must be a chance in mentality when people will understand that it's much more beneficial to look for compromise is awful and to impose your will on everyone but it certainly takes time to change those patterns of thinking in any country in this case it's the us first and foremost this change should take place in the minds of the ruling elite in the broad same sillies phrase i don't think that is impossible i think

we've almost come to that with point i very much hope the north will reach it soon and if you which i see what i mean i think we're.
