this is the samarkand summit, first of all, it is the first after a two-year break, which will be held entirely in person. and what will allow us to return to the two-stage organization of its holding, that is, first, a meeting of leaders in a narrow format, only state members with a minimum number of assistants, and then a culinary plenary session by observers and guests, and the main thing here is the non-organizational aspects that such a form makes it possible to resume, closed confidential frank and confidential exchange of views between the highest level between state members, on the most burning issues of the regional and global agenda. and, of course, all this is the current head of the turbulent tenteric tendencies in the world. they are an organization. they simply cannot physically get around and it is clear that they will obviously be discussed

about this on march 18th. the member of the state council , the minister of energy, spoke when he received the general one. with janmino, that the organization must play an active role in order to still not give it up with a cold water logic mentality and sanctions trends and all. as for iran, by the way, let's keep the touch with legal norms. iran will only sign a memorandum of its obligations. in connection with obtaining the status of a member state. after that, they have enough. e, such e is not a quick process of joining the main contractual and regulatory document of the organization. and there are several dozen of them . at least over fifty. however, after the signing of the memorandum. he will be able to take part in the meetings. organs in the sco, well, then

what and here is what the organization mentioned is being transformed. here the question is not only calculated aspects. yes. uh, after some time , iran will be under it, after some time we count, belarus. but this number is purely an aspect, and now we are talking about the quality of the organization that works perfectly with it. uh, increasing the efficiency of its executive mechanisms to improve the form of work, not only within the state among member states. well, partners in dialogue with state observers. that is now, when entering the third decade of the sco. eh, obviously it will also transform qualitatively. well, here is not a global, perestroika we are talking about a fairly metered and precise settings in addition to its mechanism. well, okay. yes, it is clear

that now hmm, if there is no such a strict agenda , then there is such and such a designated one, as happens at many events of this level. uh, but there are expected, of course, questions, as we identified them here at the very beginning, it’s interesting, after all. here. do you plan to sign any documents following the results of all the negotiations that are coming , all the events that are coming. or maybe , uh, it really is already known what kind of documents these will be. well, a certain number of documents have already been signed, because the uzbek chairmanship has prepared a very solid package of documents, some of which are supposed to be signed or approved at the level of heads of state, some of which, to be signed or accepted, in their presence. but this e requires a certain procedure, to save the heads

states from just waiting for others to sign everything there, uh, quite a specific procedure. well, let's wait for it. well, there will definitely be a big political declaration, this is the markan declaration of those who have been agreed and will be approved. there are also many other documents related to interaction in different areas within the framework of the show, there are political issues, financial and so on, and even more so, political financial issues. right here right now. of course, and e your enough weighted the approach that the countries of the shanghai cooperation organization have, i mean both about what is happening in the economy now and about the fact that russia is conducting a special military operation in ukraine, and we know that here such a watershed appeared. yes, here is the east and the west, and in this regard, uh, well, still expect that

these topics will be raised at upcoming events. it's probably worth it too. well, let's be precise, let's say, actually, as such, military operation, russia's special military operation in ukraine is strange, space does not affect and i would like it not to affect , so that belarus does not turn out to be, although it is something that really affects the sco space - these are the crisis tendencies tectonic tectonic upheavals, who are beginning to develop in the world, uh, well, for whom u’s own russian was only a formal impetus, which had been prepared for a long time by clearly completely and were brewing, and in this regard, probably, obviously one of the central tasks is to protect the sco space to the maximum extent from the negative impact of those destructive processes that are now taking place in the world community. here are attempts to

draw dividing lines between different groups of states to penetrate. e on space on the space of the organization and somehow break the interaction between state members to date. i can say that the organization is functioning perfectly in its normal mode without any overlays and shocks or upheavals. well, uh, what a rhythm i can only do one example, that the uzbek chairmanship has brought more than 100, well, about 100 level events from the ministry to the expert , in this case i leave out the meetings. heads of state heads of government, which will be a little later. so that they all took place without any overlays and most of them passed. uh, after february 24 of the whole year, and uh, including the russian participation, it was invariably at the level

at which the event was held, if this is the ministry, then there were ministers simply that is, here this, of course, is still interesting from the point of view that here, for example, russia after hmm, the wildest restrictive measures were introduced against our country. uh, just hmm, unprecedented sanctions pressure, these are exactly the countries that are taking part now. well, the member countries of the highway, and the countries of chile are the leaders. by the way, here we are. and in samarkand now these are the countries with which russia is now setting up special relations, as if reconfiguring those same economic models. it's just here paradis probably e shanghai cooperation organization. yes, this is, of course, one of the most important tasks, because the crisis trend of the world economy, which, unfortunately, was provoked by purely political reasons, i mean energy crises. cryo-food

crisis for today, they are the sco space. strange, it was not strictly affected. at least, we do not see such extreme manifestations or outbreaks as we do in eastern europe, although, of course, some political excesses are somehow complications they cannot help but worry about the relations between armenia and azerbaijan with the message about the skirmish on the border between kyrgyzstan and tajikistan , and frankly speaking, it is difficult for them not to see, at least the geopolitical context will not sink, but naturally, the negative processes taking place in the world did not affect the agenda shos day. this is, of course, a warming problem to ensure sustainable economic development. this is provision. so to speak, the protection of the economy of the state

national economies of the member states from those of the crisis processes of the world in the world economy and up to the gradual transition to national currencies in mutual settlements between the state members of the sco. and those countries that wish to join this. why, one way or another, our country has recently raised this issue several times at various venues, of course, but semyon said that i can’t ask here yet without asking this question about such a comparison that western colleagues have in the western media this is a comparison of shos with nats, including e, compare the military power of the two countries, as far as hmm well , it’s clear that it’s fashionable now, i guess, but how do you generally evaluate such publications. well, fashion, you know, it originated fashion and 20 years ago, when the sco was created and even then its emergence was met in western analytical circles and in the media

, uh, wary hostility and uh, different assessments varied, you know, such dismissive derogatory. well, you never know some kind of and uh, useless education is not stable, it will soon fall apart to a dangerous army uh, attempts to see something in it, like for the primarily russian chinese military bloc. well, the organization has existed for 20 years. well, you see, her whole history is all hers. what does she do? how she behaves shows what is really worth. this is called, if i may say so, expert assessments. comparing the nato highway is , of course, categorically incorrect in general, because they are different organizations at the level of dichotomy, because nato is a military alliance , first of all, positioning itself, of course, as a

defensive structure, but frankly speaking, if we look at uh, everything that has done this in the last few decades. we are unlikely to find it there, except for the teachings. uh, some kind of defensive action. all were difficult offensive operations against other states. well, they really were presented as, uh, either recognized to protect someone or members from something or to protect someone from something. well, in general, war and peace sco. well, you know, as a person who, in general, almost from the first days of work on its creation, was directly involved in it, i can say with all. it was originally created with only constructive life-affirming goals and its genotype does not initially contain any confrontational genes, if the organization struggles with something, then these are only threats and challenges

common not only to member states, but also to the entire international community, from the very beginning it was terrorism. extremism separatism often exacerbates the problem of drug trafficking e, and organized ip is borderline crime, information security and many many others. well, apart from everything else, military alliances are a rather specific formation, in which certain structural components must be present, which you will not find within the framework of the sco, of course, says a lot about the fact that anti-terrorist exercises in the sco are sometimes carried out on the e, through the armed forces in a dream . this is a member state. e. well, here elementary any specialist will see by looking at the

script. they are purely anti-terrorist and have no subtext. protection from external aggression of the country of any state or does not have any association or state. well, in addition, in the main documents that you will not find your own, there are no obligations of a defensive nature. uh, on joint defense, well, in the agreement, but there is a long-term friendship cooperation in 2007, by the way. you will provide for her the possibility of consulting questions, moreover, in matters of cooperation security issues. every year, everything is relevant and more relevant, be that as it may, yes, thank you very much for clarifying many points. uh, they just talked about the summit, which is about to begin today, uh, grigory logvinov, deputy secretary general of the shanghai cooperation organization, was in touch with us. ah, well, in a slightly different part of the world. uh, there's a forum to promote e-security. e

obse e, and here, too, of course. eh, well, security issues are already being discussed directly. here is how they are discussed. what topics are covered there . uh, now let's talk with konstantin gavrilov, head of the russian delegation in vienna on military security issues konstantin yurievich we welcome you. hello dmitry hello. here, well, again, i also went to the osce website. the russian page has not been updated there for several years, in my opinion, but the one in english is very short, but in principle, it indicates the issues that have been submitted for discussion. uh, and uh, i understand that after all, such an anti-russian orientation is not something that is present there. she's probably been at the forefront for a week now, i think participated in the meetings. i spoke earlier in protest. uh, against the belarusian

presidency. now they all and the whole crowd showed up for the meeting. naturally, they have been silent for so many years. eh, they were silent for months. they couldn't say and now they began to dump everything at their fingertips on us . regardless of facts or realities, but the most important thing is that at yesterday's meeting we discussed two important topics, this is the course of a special military operation, which they really do not like and, uh, children in armed conflicts, the topic is very relevant and we must pay tribute belgian new presidency. they raised this topic and here we were able to argue with facts. to show what these shortcomings are doing with children in the donbass of the luhansk region for the liberated e cities. well, they didn't like it. they did not

expect such an effect that the facts are thrown out in front of them. yes, even e with pictures of presentations and so on. and in principle, nothing to even snap at. they couldn't talk about any facts. verify these facts. we show you no, no one can do anything , unfortunately, this russophobia is frenzied and frantic. she continues to be present, but we are in every way possible, er, ways allowed ways, unlike them. eh, we show arguments. that's the truth, you can't hide it anywhere. e, they are our presentations on the forum of these testimonies, yes, the disgrace that they do is, of course, hurt the eyes, but they can’t do anything about it e and we discussed various topics during the special operation and their so-called offensive performance in the kharkov direction, which cost them in their lives

up to 12,000 people and e, killed by the iranians and kryvyi rih nikolaevskaya khersonskaya here and special enthusiasm - this entry did not cause them themselves. but did the situation around the zaporizhzhya npp arouse enthusiasm in them, because you are talking with specialists, and dmitry i understood you are not from zaporozhye. they generally bypass . we are dealing with this topic through our mediation at international organizations in vienna, mikhail ivanovich ulyanov, we are specifically dealing with what is happening here at the forum and they really did not want to hear what we highlighted, and we highlighted what was said both during the ido mission and after mikhail ivanovich muryanov and our colleagues in moscow that the stations were not militarized. there are no

armed forces on it except for security units, all attempts at provocation by the ukrainians bogged down with heavy casualties, and they put their shelling at risk of a nuclear catastrophe, we were not told anything about this. absolutely nothing. yes, there are no answers, lies, provocations propaganda, we are already used to it, but we clearly convey it in our social networks on our pages, we will bring this to public opinion, including, if boba and this, which is very important in our opinion, not only in the specialized context of magatei through our wine and in such a forum as with the osce participating states in matters of security security cooperation . this is a very useful item. eh, that, of course, is the zest and on the cake the white laboratories were the cherry on the cake, we quoted the briefing sergey alekseevich e. ryabkov

of our deputy minister on this topic after standing consultations were also met with deathly silence. that is, they in every possible way avoid commenting on this topic, nevertheless. we are constantly lifting. and we will raise it poses a threat to our country, the threat of using a mass of weapons of mass destruction. it's called by convention biological. so we will continue efforts in this direction more than some questions. they should be interested. well, uh, really everyone and not to cause some kind of silence, but active participation in this dialogue. at least the third day. yes, we have, and we, as they say, have already run out of time. uh, konstantin gavrilov, the head of the russian delegation in vienna on military security issues, was in touch with us. thank you.
