e.u. embargo on supplying arms to the syrian rebels there have been growing fears that the weapons could end up in the wrong hands and this is why the syrian opposition is made up of many divided and often competing factions and there's no force that can represent it as a whole there is the syrian national council the national coalition for syrian revolutionary and opposition forces the supreme military council the free syrian army the international coordination committee the. brigade and many more like to point out that only the n.c.c. says it's open to dialogue with the authorities while all the others have officially proclaimed their goal is to topple the regime the only difference being how extreme their approaches are and here is where these two rebel groups stand out . is officially recognized as a terror organization by the u.s. it's also known for its links to al-qaeda and for being among the most highly trained rebel forces currently on the ground in syria and the fire brigade perhaps just as notorious after one of its leading commanders was shown eating the body parts of a dead syr

e.u. arms embargo was lifted last month that was also a lot of pressure that came from britain and france now we know that in britain david cameron he hasn't been able to pledge military support to the syrian opposition because he faces a lot of criticism from his own party and from his deputy prime minister even nick clegg has said that he doesn't think it's the right time to arm the syrian rebels boris johnson mare of london a very outspoken man has said don't those syrian maniacs in france we've got political elites now questioning how the syrian crisis came about all together. i'm going to tell you something i was in england two years before the violence in syria on other business i met with top british officials who confessed to me that they were preparing something in syria this was in britain not in america britain is in invasion of rebels into syria they even asked me although it was no longer minister for foreign affairs if i would like to participate. in a summit they're discussing cooperation on counterterrorism and thankfully that is a sphere where there is a lot more consensu

e.u. arms embargo of sending military aid to the syrian rebels the british britain hasn't committed itself to that yet however they have definitely been discussing it with a big us taking that step now jim a person isn't sure about what will happen if on this are sent to syria and if they fall into the wrong hands. when it comes to selling weapons to our says government who's responsible for the blood including of children i don't think you'll deny that both sides are responsible there's always the question of who's to blame i don't deny that we shouldn't support people opening up other people's bodies and each in their entrails on camera do you want to support these people do you want to. live near putin in response to a journalist's question about why russia provides arms to syria he was quite frank he said russia provides defensive weapons to the syrian the legitimate syrian government it's not breaking any rules while it does so and he calls on every other government to act within the framework of international law so while we've got birth leaders talking about. seeking out a diplomati

e.u.'s arms embargo.

e.u. weapons embargo has been lifted now the doors can fling wide open for all sorts of a. funneling their weapons straight to the opposition the rebel fighters here that are made up as you mentioned a moment ago of many varied factions of what it a decision embraced by old e.u. member states or just a few absolutely i mean the u.k. and france really led this push to dismantle the cargo which prevailed despite opposition from other european union member states those two countries are saying that this would have somehow helped to ratchet up pressure against president bashar al assad the other states are not so not so clear on that although we should note that the british foreign secretary has said that there's no immediate plans to ship weapons into syria but still certainly a cause for concern in a conflict that has claimed more than eighty thousand lives to date when it comes to be sure but trying to get peace peace negotiations at the table the opposition though certainly the assad government will you know i wonder how it's going to help or the e.u. defeating its weapons

e.u. arms embargo because it was almost as if it was saying there was some sort of equivalence between. on the one hand and the official syrian opposition on the other i don't believe there is the syrian opposition of committed to a democratic pluralistic syria that will respect minorities christians so that is the argument for that we've made no decision to arm the rebels to a position but i think it's very important that we continue to work with them help the train and assist them in order to make sure that we have an influence on the opposition who i believe want a democratic syria that's how it should be so that will be miles out and president putin for the first off of your question. called the bus to work with regard sleaze supplies of weapons to the acid government and as regards to who has the blood of the children and peaceful citizens of syria i believe we will not deny that. if the blood is on the hands of the both parties so both of the parties. i think that with me and there's always a question who is to be blamed for that who's to blame for it i believe you will not deny t

e.u. lifted its arms embargo two weeks ago dealing a blow to the prospects of peace talks this comes as reports claim rebels could be behind the killing of more than sixteen she muslims in the syrian village of heartland sparking fears more and more extremists are joining opposition fighters both civilians and pro assad fighters are fallen victim to what the militants themselves of labeled as cleansing political analyst a mother walked up to leave the opposition is not interested in a peaceful outcome. those people have the power to stifle or kill any political process to their aura of invisibility should be reduced it would be good for the political representatives of the opposition to have any meaningful say in a negotiation table and actually being able to keep their words afterwards but as long as there are promises of weaponry and support towards those rebels on the ground without that they would go to the table to the more top in fact with the ideology behind what they have been doing since the very beginning is specially. affiliated groups they are not interested in negotiating with the

e.u. lifted its arms embargo two weeks ago dealing a blow to the prospects of peace talks i mean while reports claim rebels are behind the killing of more than sixty shia muslims in the syrian village or sparking fears of more extremists joining anti assad forces political analyst i'm out of a cough believes the opposition is just not interested in any type of peaceful outcome. it was people who have the power to stifle or kill any political process in their aura of invisibility should be reduced it could be for the political representatives of the opposition to have any meaningful say in a negotiation table and actually being able to keep their words afterwards but as long as there are promises of weaponry and support towards those rebels on the ground. that they won't go to the table or the more talk in fact with the ideology behind what they have been doing since the very beginning is specially. affiliated groups they are not interested in negotiating with the regime anymore or the syrian government at all they see it as an infidel regime that must be toppled no matter what. it's a quarter

e.u. lifted its arms embargo last month that was from a lot of pressure coming from the british and the french side now despite the fact that the u.k. and france have been calling on the syrian opposition they face a lot of criticism both countries at home for calling to do so for example david cameron he hasn't been able to follow suit and pledge direct military support to the syrian opposition because he faces criticism for its from his own party from his deputy prime minister nick clegg has said that he doesn't think it's the time to on the syrian opposition boris johnson lemaire of longings and has said don't own the syrian maniacs so it would be something very difficult to get on them and. so so far only continuing to train and provide non-lethal support for the syrian opposition but also in front of the political elite some people that are already starting to question how the syrian crisis came about all together. i'm going to tell you something i was in england two years before the violence in syria on other business i met with top british officials who confessed to me that they were pr

e.u. has the ended its arms embargo to syria how does that change the situation on the the ground.well the arms haven't arrived yet from the air in union and there's still a small lesson mark over whether or not they will ever come and the americans haven't moved yet either but if they do start to arm then of course it's obvious what the outcome will be and how the situation will be approached on the ground there will be more fighting the rebels will be encouraged by the shipments of new arms there will be obviously the encouragement that comes from political support are well and the fighting will increase so this decision which is no a month old but which has as i say yet to be put into operation to arm the rebels this decision is the equivalent of throwing paschal on onto a fire it will only make things worse and i'm frankly absolutely astonished that the g. eight countries the western countries should continue to take this position in northern ireland at their g eight summit in northern ireland why didn't they look around them why didn't they ask the people in ireland and in nor

you allowed the arms embargo to lapse -- when the e.u. wed the arms embargo to lapse -- they are considered to be game-changing weapons. syria said they would not abide to such weapons and they would strike at them. russia has since backed off on the idea of sending them -- i am to -- they are holding it out there. understand russians how serious it would be if in fact they did send those missiles. let us go to a local caller in mclean, virginia. john on the independent line. caller: thank you for your wonderful program. i was wondering why we are looking at the pain in the middle east and not at cause of the pain? believe all of the sectarian activities and terraced escalated -- sectarian activities in terrorists escalated. -- you think iran is there very clearly. why don't the superpowers help the people of iran to get rid of this regime and then everything will be back to normal and people will have to have lives been there would be gnosis -- there would be no necessity for military intervention. i do not know why they did not have -- [

e.u. countries if we remember is maybe there was this issue that they made on whether or not to extend the arms embargo to syria twenty five out of twenty seven nations were against that idea including germany very reluctant to get involved militarily we know that the u.k. and france were the two countries that were really heavily pushing for non extension of that arms embargo however what's interesting to see is that the statement coming out today from the u.k. and france it looks to be like a scaled back on their initial aggression on the issue we have a statement from downing street they're saying that the u.k. government has not decided yet whether to arm the syrian rebels and they are asking that the assad government allow grad unrestricted access to the u.n. investigation team going back to that statement of the e.u. and france had also said in reply to with suggestions of a no fly zone to be established france had said that such a no fly zone in syria needs the approval of the u.n. security council with very said that any intervention had with the approval of the international community and they

e.u. and the u.s.a. as well as we got the twenty-seventh of may decision for the reading of the embargo on supplying weapons to the syrian opposition. we see the possibility of increased imperialists war in the wider area. we need to stop the freeze of violence and repression of the demonstrators. we need to release anyone who has been arrested and people who are responsible for the violence need to be brought to justice. ..
