when you and foreign minister lavrov announced your hopes to hold geneva 2 in may, the circumstances seemed somewhat better for the possibility of a peace conference. the government seemed, the syrian government seemed to be losing ground at the time. now many months later, the syrian government seems to be in a stronger position. president assad is talking about the possibility of running for reelection and the opposition as you know is fighting on two fronts, something that even your own aids say mawks it harder to extract concessions from the syrian government. what makes you feel the government has any reason giving the way the things have moved in the last six months to give up power and what makes you 30 that the opposition which seems to grow more fractured and has seen in is in any shape to assume a transitional governing role? >> well, assad obviously a central question to all of this, and i'll give you as complete and direct an answer as i can. you are correct to say that when seerger lavrov and i announced this i think in may the situation was different on the ground than

damascus russia's been pointing the finger at the radical rebels and the foreign minister sergei lavrov says media reports indicate some of the militants are being trained abroad he will. according to the form not only afghanistan but iraq as well may be used as a training site for the use of chemical weapons mr lavrov said they have information that terrorists are taught how to do it again a standing territories not controlled by the government while the girl runs one of the most a radical syrian rebel groups is supplying according to him to deliver chemical weapons to iraq along with specialist for a possible future terror attack so basically their training in afghanistan well could start practicing in iraq. the foreign minister also said this is organized by third countries although he didn't specify which state exactly just to remind you the syrian government earlier signed up for the international convention on chemical weapons which bans their use in order to establish international control over their arms arsenal meanwhile human rights watch has revealed syrian rebels were respon

russia's foreign minister lavrov spoke about his hopes for a geneva two peace conference in mid november. delegation from the syrian government is ready to talk at any time but he also says that the islamist extremists. the actions of islamist extremists in the opposition must be excluded from all discussions. because people are moving closer. then to the free syrian army which is being portrayed as the secular opposition so the trend is. in the favor of. radicals among those who fight on the ground. and it is not only our conviction rippers become diction of the americans that we cannot and must not talk to these people. well the threat posed by islamic islamist extremists hijacking the opposition movement is something that russia has long wanted to bounce and despite initial resistance to that interpretation of events lavrov says that the international community or some members of the international community now coming away to that way of thinking. is the. actual situation of the ground as the real life was producing more and more facts that this is a large extent and more and more so

both foreign minister lavrov and i in our conversations with u.n. have expressed our hopes that it can happen next month. but obviously, there are other players, and we're not going to sit here and we do not have the right to make the decision for other players. they're independent, and they have to exercise their own rights here. the opposition has a series of steps that it's taking. we respect those steps. you'll hear from president jarba. and we respect their process by which they need to decide how to come to the table if they come to the table. but i'm confident that in the end the opposition will decide this is in their best interest. you can win at the negotiating table what it may take a long time and a lot of loss of life, a lot of bloodshed, and potential destruction to win on the battlefield. so i think they see that. i think they see something very positive in that, and our hope is that this conference can begin. it will never be easy. i don't want to suggest to anybody here that just because everybody says yes and you have the conferenc

that's been executed very i think fatally by foreign minister lavrov we have consistently said the bear is no military solution you can't reorder societies from outside it's important that we get everyone. to come to a dialogue table geneva two. everyone must to draw violence and that violence is no solution that the people of syria must have a chance to choose their own destiny and we are very glad that this is something that we've articulated but it's being now given. physical and practical shape by the agreement between the u.s. . and russia so we support this and we would be very happy to be a g. were to if people feel that we can be of help and assistance but at this point both sides have very powerful supporters in the world in your personal opinion who has the more rightful grounds assad or the rebels well i think you can . you get information from from week to week about who has. and not behind in who's. retreating and who's gaining ground or recovering territory. the unfortunate thing of course is is that there is. still a lack of clarity of who used the. chemical weapons there
