think that in the process, the invasion of georgia, the invasion of crimea, trying to get ukraine and armenia to break their relations with the eu, what he is doing is, first of all, he's doing two things that have long-term impact. and to which we need to react strongly. the first is up in the post cold war order in which everybody in europe agrees that borders can only be changed through negotiation and the consent of everybody involved. and the second is that old scores have to be settled through negotiation, not by force. so his taking of crimea, this territory that was associated with russia for a long time, but has been part of ukraine, by force, sets a precedent. and it's not unlike the first president bush not wanting saddam to set the precedent of an aggression against kuwait and letting that stand as the first major act after the cold war. so we have two major developments upending the post cold war order of how borders get changed, and settling old scores by force. there are plenty of opportunities for those kinds of conflicts all around the world, including in asia, where you coul

. >> close to the borders of turkey and armenia lies a region. once home to a base for the russian military, it's economically deprived. this town has an armenian majority. locals feel cut off from georgia. we motivate people to learn georgian, to be more integrated. >> this regional capital is a mixed town. ith nick armenians say his loyalties lie with georgia. my grandfather was born here, so was my father and i. my son. we are citizens of this country. >> he had a traumatic history. the population was deported. this castle overlooking the city with its mosque and its church is a great example of the country's multi-ethnic society. that diversity, though it could be the strength has in recent history been a great vul neribility. >> following conflict russian forces control 20% of georgian territory. you it lies to the south, some fear russia might seek to destabilize. it split georgia in half. georgia wants closer ties with the west. could moscow exploit minority grievances to stop that happening? >> because of the political crisis with russia,

end, he wan a ukraine not attached, but he wants them to be a buffer state the way of georgia and armeniand belarus are around the federation in the 20th century zero-sum world he is living in. that is a decisive strategy, and we have not yet responded to the it adequately. >> ambassador nicolas burns, thank you for coming on the show. >> thank you. >> and coming up, a newly posted video showing al qaeda's number two greeting a large crowd. how concerned should we be? >>> and defending the dems, president obama and idea making a tag team road trip, and will that make a mid-term health insurance difference? before it even starts? what if i eat the wrong thing? what if? what if i suddenly have to go? what if? but what if the most important question is the one you're not asking? what if the underlying cause of your symptoms is damaging inflammation? for help getting the answers you need, talk to your doctor and visit crohnsandcolitisadvocates.com to connect with a patient advocate from abbvie for one-to-one support and education. all stations come over to mithis is for real this time. step s

joining me now with more is our senior west coast correspondent jon erlichman, and armenia requirement alec sherman. it seems like everyone is getting into this business. >> we hear another company every other week. amazon announcing their set-top box to go along with their streaming program, microsoft xbox, and now yahoo! trying to get into the content business. it is not an easy one to get into because there's so much competition out there. but yahoos trying to come up with an identity here, a company that has not had growth for the few years, and this will be a reason for customers to come visit the site. they are ordering new companies, or at least looking at new half-hour comdedies. it is something that she has been toying around with. >> they want to get people to the site, they want people to stay. if you have content people want to see, you can sell advertising against the video, and that is what they're looking at. but that in perspective for me. is that a lot or a -- for a comedy? >> that is a fair amount. that is white is getting a lot of attention. i think this is more abou

he took part on the assault, and by the way, and he originally comes from armenia, and neither he norcomrades had any doubts that it was a russian city. he would probably not understand me if i took any other stance. when ukrainian statehood actually ceased to exist, there are no grants for the crimean people to have no right to determine their own future. in this sense, i do not really agree with mr. putin, that the ukrainian parliament is legitimate to a certain extent. but i don't really agree because i would say a parliament that that canceled its own constitution can be legitimate at all so i don't think there's any reason that parliament and ukraine today, so the crimean people had their own right to determine their future. but of course, i know this was a difficult decision to make, and it has had and will have far-reaching international consequences. my question to you, mr. putin, is as follows -- over the last 10 years we have been moving forward, closer and closer with china, and this progress on our side is reciprocated from china. do you think there will be a military alli

say well we didn't know or we couldn't stop it or something like that it's a little bit ridiculous armenia also suspects turkish involvement the two countries have a deeply painful past especially since the first world war genocide of more than a million armenians in one nine hundred sixteen i don't know if there's a coincidence or not it doesn't speak to the history of the armenian people and of course the role of turkey i believe that the turkish government who has refused to recognize the armenian genocide of course are utilizing the perhaps ongoing animosity towards the armenian community as another mechanism for the destabilization of the multinational of the syrian state russia asked the united nations security council to examine the alleged attacks against armenians in concern but he declined a blow for vulnerable towns such as this line along the poorest border that's helping feed syria's civil war police fear r.t. . over on our website right now we're reporting on a bizarre murder trial in pakistan in which the defendant is a nine month old baby boy that story you can read about i

then western influence in these regions will sharply decline these governments my as for example armenia they have to throw their towel in with with moscow just for their own security and economic reasons and there's also concern about misunderstanding you know we don't want the russians or the chinese or others to think that they can just go and start using military force to seize terror the two territories because at some point we're going you could get a western reaction and we saw that in korea we gave the wrong signals to the chinese in the balland before nine hundred fifty and they took that as an imitation to. richard if i go to war if i could say with you richard i mean we have a government didn't care of that is not elected but they've already signed protocols with the european union and they're even agreed to military exercises i mean isn't this if i could use use of race baiting the bear. well we've always had nato ukraine military exercises there have been these been going on for twenty years now off and the russians participate so that's nothing new they have not applied to

they want more air cover eccentrics such oh and don't let's not forget georgia in azerbaijan and armenia are getting more nato assistance i mean are we really at this kind of crisis level here . reports that i read are not that russia will invade ukraine in next three or four days is that russia has the capacity given its troop deployments and what it demonstrated its pretty effective operation of crimea to engage in another off offensive operation if it so decided in three or four days and would probably be able to seize whatever territory it had in mind in part of eastern ukraine so i think that's the concern that the russian forces are position in a way that they could still engage in further military action and i think what nato would like to see is some kind of the kind of confidence building measures we've seen in many other places including along the russia china border and with the see if the treaty in europe when i was in which is having some of the troops pulled back from border regions spread out and being in a less capable offensive posture which produces the fear of a sudden
