the opposition for relying on external forces i would say well how about this regime relying on china russia. iran and many other countries. to survive if you survive the cold without the support all on the other hand could you argue that considering the fact there's been so much bigger and by the opposition and the fact that the situation is getting more dire day by day i mean could you envisage vision a future where perhaps some of the out of as the opposition is blamed on the continuing violence the opposition is one thing but the opposition hasn't really been able to get together and move forward either. yes that's true but do you have any unified opposition in the entire world of course not and everybody is asking the opposition to come in one correlation and coalitions are always weak by nature and they fall apart in front of the tough challenges and we are in front of a very very tough crisis so i think the focus here should not be on unifying the opposition first of all we should stop the violence and that indeed those require the to stop the smuggling of the weapon inside syria and

many problems with all their i once again hear the program speaking of the world or i know china and i know but russia and china are officially our strategic partners this is this is what's declared in all the documents signed between the leaders that there are mutual problem is there a mutual discontent for example russian citizens in the south of siberia are their discontent is growing specially the number how immigrants flooding the cities the number of chinese last year three times more visit to china than chinese because russian and russian people buy property hi nonviolent most just i don't i don't think that. returns less chinese because he likes the figures yes i asked the guy from shanghai he's the head of her russian community. and he seemed to know a very conservative estimate is about thirty five thousand leaving their own permanent bases and probably about a similar amount coming going what information they said bierria in the far east it's. a very old story which is now irrelevant that's what so it's exaggerate i agree completely the problem is the chinese flooding the russian streets an
