of what any most people would think would be threatening to the turkish state and so i think that ankara has a long way to go not only sort of in terms of substance but in the way that it speaks to to kurds there's sort of a high handed attitude of well we did this for you and you should be grateful and at the same time you know as i mentioned there's been quite substantial violence peter so we don't know but again in terms of the outcome. there the dynamics could play out and if with if both sides are enlightened this is how i see a positive outcome potentially for both but i am what do you think about that will turkey before it was forced to change its policy towards the kurds. i mean i agree that the current government in turkey has done a lot compared to previous governments in turkey for what rights of kurdish people but as your second speaker sais there's a long way to go prime minister. feels that he has given a lot to kurdish people any feels the kurds must be quite happy for what they have kids going through right now and they should stop asking for any further rights or they sh

zeal to remain in gauged in syria on behalf of the opposition and probably the best estimate of what ankara sees is that they probably believe that no matter what happens their best chance of helping influence an outcome that suits their interests involves their involvement with the syrian opposition and as i mentioned before the syrian opposition the syrian national council all the free syrian army has not been supportive of kurdish as peroration is in syria has not been supportive of if i go in as the i think it's really interesting here i mean his arms go into syria from turkey how do the turks know it's not going to quote unquote terrorists the kurds could be used against turkey later. well. a while that that may happen you know i don't have specific information about that but some of the things. some of the you know activities if you look at the p.r.i. the activities there military wink and so on they seem to have some kind of like heavy weaponry which may have been transferred to you know from turkey who knows that so. but but in terms of the larger question is that you know turkey su

and turkey have struggled to see eye to eye on reaction now from a journalist you said kindly in ankara for us not what arguments can we expect turkey and russia to bring up over syria do you think is there any room for agreement. but of course no one disagreed. with a statement saying the. approach their positions but it is a. difference between russia. difference is of course turkey along with some. western allies. but. providing. you mentioned intervention there i mean can't really afford to be drawn further into the syrian conflict at this point i. know that there are contingency plans if things back out. allies are not sufficiently. secure. the problem. security of course is difficult to say. established. country neighboring countries. dervish now turkey is supporting the syrian rebels but far in the future. many people including myself have been. provided. to the opposition groups which as you said. this group. are considered by. terrorist. to. start cutting. operating against their. so. given what you say what are turkey's long term objectives in the region and what are they tryi

and the netherlands all the aim to protect ankara from possible syria. discuss it further i'm now joined by jeremy sold an associate professor of middle eastern history and politics and bill can university thanks for coming on our team today the countries are involved in the only aim is to protect their nato ally but the missiles are capable of reaching deep into serious territory what do you make of that well this is the reason for staging the missiles on syria's border is not because of an attack by syria because there's actually no likelihood that syria turkey and in any case those missiles to be the. all ballistic missiles the artillery shells. the border accidentally so the. speculation is based on the fact that perhaps. an. intervention. and this is the interpretation. and he said it's fundamentally part of the game plan against iran. you know these are the questions that. factor into this equation. let's talk about the troop deployment the u.s. the netherlands and germany a. thousand troops to operate the patriot batteries that amount of soldiers

now meanwhile nato has promised to station page on anti air missiles in turkey at the request of ankara a move that some see as baseless. every massacre there happens anywhere even in the suburbs of damascus we look these are people there if you treated by islamists games as well and sometimes these are perpetrated by these weapons against themselves supported by saudi arabia some by carter logistical support by turkey buying weapons in the black market in the middle east and as far as ukraine as we already know we have to analyze the picture of missiles at the border we don't delete just highlight why do usually only u.s. officials for chemical weapons were thought about sharks are just completely absurd peacher reso isn't that fact weapon is not a deterrent it only specially of course if that the syrian army would never launch missiles across the border against circuits because they know they will be attacking our nato allies. supporting the rebels as one thing they by putting spokes in assad's wheels it is another america has been demanding iraq a socialist syria ban planes for weapo

putin's visit to turkey will be helpful in overcoming the differences over syria between moscow and ankara . hopefully yes. as i said turkey cannot avoid listening to the position of russia about syria because of the dependency that turkey has on the russian energy. this is practically impossible for i don't have enough to take this into account so he has to find a compromise will be sure. we have to see what to do with the quest to have a duty to visit it as a limit to eventual participation in any kind of. intervention in syria we would probably get some more news later today or tomorrow to understand what are these the limits that russia may prove to them its option ok we'll leave it there however. only thank you very much for your thoughts today here on r.t. . well the next few minutes who reports on a revolution in the british welfare system that seems to fallen flat racist bigots reveal the billion pound program to provide long term jobs for young employed simply isn't working. also ahead we examine why qatar may have terry motives and its generous investments into the french economy

assad camp meanwhile in nato is deploying surface to air missiles and troops to neighboring turkey ankara requested the reinforcements from its allies after a series of cross border exchanges of fire with syria alliance officials now claim the syrian government has begun using ballistic missiles against the rebels that is something damascus denies. that you can takes a closer look at exactly who is fighting against assad. they call them. cells martyrs and. all those you see around you and the fighters you see are living the martyrs and the living martyr has already sacrificed a soul for this country. syrian rebels say they will stop at nothing to defeat us. some of them are so proud of their deeds that they post them on the web including the execution of prisoners. or having a child behead a man who was presumably an assault supporter atrocities are committed on all fronts during syria's bloody civil war according to many accounts on the ground it's islamist groups that do most of the fighting on behalf of the rebels dr towie come meet was a member of a jihadi spoken ization twenty five y

until now while nato has promised to station patriot ante and missiles in turkey at the request of ankara a move that some have dubbed and tactic. every best secure their happens anywhere in the suburbs of damascus we will use our people there by islamist games as well and some drugs. both these were the games themselves border but so you reveal some logistical support by by turkey. weapons in the black market in the middle east and as far as the ukraine is we already know we have to analyze the picture of missiles at the border with that too late just how high why do you usually hear only u.s. officials for chemical weapons being deployed both of our shots are just completely absurd hype are you saying that they are ready weeks you look not only the components you mix the one you already have a weapon already loaded with this components which are kept separate and then the chemical reaction south happens inside the riffle after it has been or your body is mixing and is saying at the moment what we need to speculate but with a certain degree of reason is that the league moving some of its

and the netherlands all the same to protect ankara from potential syrian attacks but historian jeremy sold says there are other reasons for. the reason for staging the missiles on syria's border is not because of an attack by syria because there's actually no likelihood that syria is going to attack turkey and in any case those missiles are to be directed against planes or ballistic missiles not against the artillery shells all mortars that inform the the turkish border accidentally so the obvious question is why those patriots there speculations based on the fact that perhaps they're there as the first step to declaring and on and direct measurement intervention sometime next year and one has to ask the question who did the germans who did the british who did the americans who do you think it's appalling in syria they're not supporting groups who are committed to democracy they're not supporting groups that committed to political transition they're not comporting groups that are committed to in any way the formation of an open transparent state. or we've got further insight into the

border with syria several times and several turkish civilians have been killed doesn't that give ankara enough reason to protect itself with nato as pay child missiles. secret this was. not checked to protect them from an attack. it's not yeah but we do want here. but syria might. send outside of it. if they leave the country but no one was. very much up in the air with the civilians. to be ready. to defend. the new besides the message sent by the west. is not exactly. a message to syria from the west you say now russia says the deployment of these missiles will only escalate to the conflict what's your take. on the conflict is ready for to do that. with. the two sides getting weapons and support from the different groups. started very good time to support the rebels russia. maybe not right with the regime so this is a big. relief. that this size might be any additional sign that the big issue is absolutely out of the question. and it's broken that. reconciliation which seems you know he's the most civil the steve. thank you very much we'll leave it right there political analysts appear

around twelve hundred troops on turkey's border with syria and they took claims the move will protect ankara from a possible strike by its neighbor or their critics a conflict on syria is unlikely to attack an alliance member. said why turkey is so eager to defend herself from a former friend. he may have treated his command bridge for an apartment in istanbul but returned admiral turk your return still keeps tabs on his country's foreign policy and he doesn't like what he sees like many turkish petri it's the admiral believes his country is second fighting common sense and domestic concerns from western interests. turkey is looking at the middle east through america's eyes not for a purely turkish perspective for example with syria turkey claims it wants to see democracy in syria but look who it's working with saudi arabia qatar and their democratic credit is wanting. forget the zero problems with neighbor's rule which in corral has prided itself on for many decades critics now see turkey as dancing to one nation's. close. very skilled people but that does not suffice. which do you ask. tha
