talk, but in general the situation in europe remains very difficult. and in the economic sense, plus natural disasters, the heat is such a record that it requires an increase in the supply of energy for the operation of air conditioners. well, and so on refrigerators, but the european authorities are now taking certain measures in order to somehow solve this issue and the situation, which, uh. yesterday, in any case, it was discussed very actively today, and the news came that the european commission had convinced the countries that did not agree with the proposals of the european commission. and gas consumption by 15% in particular, greece was against spain e. b. in general, the southern countries, although it would seem that they probably should not be so afraid of winter as the more northern countries, which is natural, but nevertheless, the fact remains, but i would like to start from

the next question, as i already said about the russian the federation recently expanded the list of unfriendly countries and included such countries as greece. and why is greece traditionally our ties and historical cultural were very close and see this country on this list. well, a little sad, to be honest, and this is an orthodox country. we took a lot from there, once again i repeat in a cultural sense, er, and traditionally greek society treated us very well. i usually hope that this is how we will find out from the ambassador of the russian federation in the greek andrey maslov's republic, he is in touch with us andrey mikhailovich hello. hello first question. that's getting greece out of the number of unfriendly countries. how did the public receive you and were there any political statements political reaction to this? the order of the government of russia is here on july 20. and

of course it didn't go unnoticed. here in greece there were publications in the media quite calm. er, this is largely due to the fact that some sources from the greek ministry of foreign affairs confirmed that that the ceiling of 34 employees who can be accepted locally to the greek foreign institutions in russia does not present any big problems for the daily work of work, and the number 34 is just the number of those accepted on the spot who work e at the greek embassy and three consulates general. uh, no political pressure was not russophobia. this news did not provoke anything. here, however , is remarkable, however, another appeared

objective. uh, sober comments we seen on internet portals with very sharp criticism of the greek government for the fact that its actions, for the first time in 200 years, brought greece to the point that greece became an unfriendly country for russia. and this despite the fact that russia has never done anything bad for greece and has not done it lately, as observers write, russia has not attacked greece and has always been a reliable supplier of energy to the country. and it has always taken a balanced position on the most important for greece national foreign policy issues, therefore, it is significant that

objective, sensible comments on this issue are still beginning to appear. and andrei mikhailovich, yes, of course. eh, you already said that for 200 years we helped greece and so on, but general questions. and in general, uh, if it were not for the position of the soviet union at one time, it is not known how the fate of greece would have developed in general, but these are historical moments that are now completely forgotten in europe and, uh, this behavior. i can't say another word this is herd behavior. uh, european governments that are under the hood, but do what they are asked to put it mildly across the ocean, first of all, or even what kind of internal e is created through local media, which are subordinate to the international media holding, which, in turn, are subordinate to those forces that

want to make from our country. but this terrible something crazy, and they are local, but still they don’t try, or do you think they can’t, or they are just also subject to this effect external or they can’t do anything, even if you wanted to, it’s not clear this is the impression that they don’t want to, because e it has been a long time, e, the course has been chosen for solidarity with the common e western line belle greece is e a nato member with experience since 1952. and a member of the european union, too, with experience and, uh, orientation to the western world. he was always in greece what happened at the end of february, and did not cause any surprise in us, and since

this was all expected and now uh, the greek management is constantly booking those. there about that they have chosen the right side of history, they have always been on it and supposedly. and now they are also on it , so this is the situation. uh, since the end of february. ours is completely destroyed. bilateral relationship. there are more of them. no, there is no cooperation. no contacts. in a word, literally in a matter of days, all the developments were reset to zero. here is the entire rich, array of bilateral relations that have been accumulated over many decades. yes, they explain it to themselves. it's kind of logical. yes, the right side of history, only history will judge where it is correct country. and therefore, it is probably too early to talk about it, but we understand that we are on the right side of history. but once again, her life

will melt into place. in the meantime, there are such modest things as gas, which, it seems , is not as relevant for the southern side of greece as for the same germany or the other more northern european side, although europe is, as we all know very well, much softer. uh, climate than the same, uh, our country. and this is the european hmm uh, solidarity she was subjected to yesterday slight doubt. today, it seems like the european commission announced that they have solved the gas problem. ah, i mean. uh, this is the speech of the government, including greece along with others spain with others. why aren't they ready? download e 15% of your consumption, in general , this topic is gas in greece, it is being discussed. why did the government object? they are on the right side of history like this, and whatever you want from the european commission. and the gas theme,

indeed, without exaggeration, is one of central, and a long time ago, uh, the energy minister, greece, uh, officially stated that greece did not agree with the prospect of a forced cut of 15%. and gas consumption. uh connected. this is due to the fact that, as he himself said, greece has already exhausted all the possibilities for e, ensuring its energy security and reserves. there is no longer any reason for such a position. specifically, greece consists in the fact that the share of gas in greece's electricity generation is still very large and it can not. that's how to quickly get rid of it in

june. uh, several lignite plants were put back into operation, but uh, gas consumption was reduced by only 4% another moment, namely now greece is gradually starting to get out of the deepest financial economic crisis, which has been in a little more than 10 years since 2009. and now, when industries are starting to work. uh, metallurgy, cement plants are different. uh, trading industries cutting gas consumption could be a serious blow to this restore trend i would say also domestic aspect because no later than the spring of next year in greece will be held for

parliamentary elections. and if, uh, the upcoming heating season will be associated with severe hardships and hardships for the population, then this, of course, may affect the electoral preferences of citizens. andrey mikhailovich so you touched on the political situation in greece within e. the public mood and general interest in ukraine is, but it has decreased, as things stand. the ukrainian theme, uh, has already firmly receded into the background, if not the third plan in the media , and this is completely different from what it was in march april. and yes, of course, publications are

printed, greece is still worn, uh, publications are worn. eh, anti-russian character, but the important thing is that lately, maybe, for the last month and a half, more and more sane people appear on internet sites materials that are quite objective, where sober assessments are already given of what is happening, well, ukraine and more and more e critical and critical materials in connection with the collapse of russian greek relations, because this issue undoubtedly, uh, worries the greek society on and uh -e all the time implicitly the question arises. what to do next, after all, it is still necessary to restore them, but it is clear that so far

there is no such political discussion. e leadership of the country. uh, governments are hard, uh, stick to nato and the general jasovoy opposition in this matter, but nevertheless in the political discourse we see from the appearance of uh sound ee sound theses thoughts. uh, andrey mikhailovich well, it's clear that fur coats can not hang for too long, probably, someone should buy it, eh, but that's the way it is. uh, nevertheless, tourism, including business tourism, was highly developed, as things are now , after all. uh, a russian tourist somehow got in. yes, in some limited quantities , it is clear that there are no flights and so on, but on uh, resort and greece recently or not? well, in some microscopic quantities, of course,

tourists penetrate, but i will say without any exaggeration that this year there is practically no russian tourism in greece, back in the first days of march, and the prime minister of greece said that this year greece expects 30 or even 35 million foreign tourists and the absence of 500,000 russian tourists will not affect the greek economy in any way. i would say that this is an assessment of e with a political connotation, because what i heard from major greek tour operators from ateliers. they still have a different vision here. and i can say that large hotel chains

in greece, which over the past decades have been oriented to the russian market to a large extent, have suffered considerable losses from the absence of russian tourists. and if some large hotel complexes, which in general were completely practically focused on russian tourists. they have always been highly valued and here is their absence this year. e, of course, leads to very big losses, and the reasons for the absence of our tourists. clear. this is not a direct air connection. and uh, the impossibility of using bank cards that are familiar to us for payment. ah, that is, with the cards, as i understand it here, well, it’s clear that nothing is being decided, and it’s unlikely that anything will be decided, andrey mikhailovich but nevertheless. as i understand it,

the greek economy as a whole, if you say it, you already said that it is partially recovering. but, and it may not recover if there is no russian gas in sufficient quantities and gas in general, but i also think that now the greek authorities, of course , are highly dependent there is no less. uh, foreign policy issues. i don't know if it's convenient for you to comment on this, and then i'll ask it this way. is there a discussion of the greek turkish problem in the greek society, and in the media, because questions constantly arise. but this one, well, questions of cyprus first of all, this is understandable. and? well, those no less, that this is a question, but it is strained. so let's say, in relations between two nato members greece and turkey, if this topic is in the internal discourse. of course, perhaps this is the main topic

of greek-turkish relations, but it is important not to get involved in it, because this, as it would be rightly said, is the relationship between the two members of nato and they themselves should understand each other in their own circle. and the topic, of course, is constantly present on the greeks accusing turkey of constant violations of airspace, mainly over the islands greek and this is one of the topical e foreign policy topics here in the media . well, yes, andrei mikhailovich, of course, it is not our business to interfere in internal affairs from sovereign countries. they themselves will decide there, but just if this, and the conflict goes beyond the framework of bilateral relations, otherwise this, of course, will affect everyone, so uh, such a topic

cannot be avoided, unfortunately, and andrei mikhailovich and one more, but the moment , which i would like to clarify. now i already said come information that the european mission reports that, in any case, the international rater agency there report that it seems that how the issue was resolved. as i understand it, the greek government was persuaded, it is still unknown, and what did i understand so correctly? support this reduction, which we talked about, so far there has been no official reaction, greece was among the whole group of countries that did not agree with the forced reduction of 15%. but here's how it goes it will look hard to say e but the greeks from the very beginning said that this is a reduction of 15%, and not at all the most effective. uh,

by providing energy security and assistance to more northern countries, for which this topic is supposedly relevant. that is, as i understand it, we will find out a little later, while this information is not available, and andrei mikhailovich is great to you. thank you for taking the time for us. i think that of course, uh, the european and greek authorities will still measure five times, this is seven times measure once cut off, and about all these gas questions. well, others, but moments. thank you very much andrey maslov was uh, the ambassador of the russian federation in the greek republic is in touch with us. well, we are finishing this issue of the fifth studio. we do not say goodbye, we will have several more issues. and i pass the word to my colleague. faith thank you alexander. we continue in tashkent hosting

an international conference on problems in afghanistan with participation of delegates from russia china and the european union turkey the united states and other countries, as well as he representatives are on the agenda for humanitarian aid and the afghan people's human rights, as well as for economic recovery actions. countries the chief of our central asian bureau roberta frantsev will tell about this in more detail the conference on afghan issues, which is now taking place in tashkent for the capital of uzbekistan , is already the third in the past few years and the ninth only this year, if we talk about the whole world and still the international community failed to work out a real formula for solving the afghan problems. questions remain the same government or who actually control the territory of the entire country are not recognized by the world community, there are demands to break ties with international terrorist organizations to ensure the right of women and national doctors to provide girls with access to school education, in turn, assurances are heard from kobul that

links with international terrorism torn apart , women's rights are ensured to the extent that they are understood by the taliban themselves. well, the answer sounds requirements to unfreeze financial assets when it is governments that are frozen abroad in this way. this discussion has been moving in a vicious circle for quite a long time and there is no way to move a dead point. certain hope is connected with this conference, the fact is that it is of an applied nature . duties of the minister of foreign affairs of afghanistan amirkhan mutaike. according to him, a great achievement is the fact that, if at previous conferences the issue of a ceasefire in the country was discussed in the first place, now, first of all, we are talking about economic issues and the social establishment of the country. this is just an indicator of the successes that have been achieved with the government of kalibo, then another

important fact should be the development of logistics potential, afghanistan, namely this country is a connecting bridge between the middle and south asia and the development of this astrological resource is interested not only in afghanistan but also in neighboring countries . ukrainian nationalists fired all night long, they hit donetsk from heavy nato weapons, they hit oil depots, a strong fire broke out, as in the situation by this hour, if the strategic direction of the new aircraft and passenger amenities were affected. how is the industry developing? why do sanctions open up new opportunities? on the background
