earlier, i did it paper on russian demography and middle eastern policy. that's not the subject here. the subject here is the question of private military contractors and their role as a supplement, as a complement to russia's war fighting strategy. it couldn't be timelier in terms of a topic. i thought the best thing to do was to lead with the folks who really know the subject inside and out. so what i'm going to do with very, very minor introductions i'm going to turn the floor over first to sergei from the jamestown foundation, and then after him, to my colleague steve blank from the american foreign policy council and then after that ted of gulf state analytics to talk about and unpack for us this enormously timely subject and to add another layer of complexity to what we've heard already today. so with that, for malts, aside, gentlemen, feel free to sit at your seats and speak and-- >> thank you very much, first

here frequently said the refugee crisis that brought about a million people from african and middle eastern countries into germany was a great opportunity to fill in the gaps with skilled workers we heard that many times and he was that insufficient or why the necessity to change the rules now. there are very few cheat immigration the top to a certain to keep but we have to problem that many of their future those could best we need high skilled practice in an industry strike something in the industrial sectors five sample to house take those and so on yet people aren't coming here and we have gaps in the labor market which doesn't fit the actually also need and. i probably thought i thought this is specially if the cation in the house. the cajun and investment sector and he. doesn't have so much as he hoped to eat two or three years ago now you of course in the institute have contact with many people from the business sectors do you see a general sadly taishan of this new law or a rather critic voices. well everybody in the section says we need a new law day creation is how the new law is i

years is because of the action it's taken against the kurds and the impact that's had in the middle easternion. the qataris are stirring the pot, looking like they're being very helpful... indeed, they are being helpful to the turks but they're not being very helpful at the same time. $15 billion, is it a large amount of money? it will paper over the cracks, but not change anything structural, not changing the fact erdogan is telling them what to do and not pushing up interest rates won't change the fact he has put relatives in charge of the finance department. it won't change any of the structural issues. it will save the structural issues. it will save the turks having to go to the imf. they just don't want to the turks having to go to the imf. theyjust don't want to do that? no country ever does. doesn't america have a veto on getting money from the imf? possibly, but that's less ofa the imf? possibly, but that's less of a concern. the wider implications of a concern. the wider implications of this are that... there are bigger knock on effects to the economic sanctions than the economics

with money and even hinted that you know refugees might return from europe as well as from the middle eastern countries back to syria in due course so he's getting ahead of himself a little bit and there's also talk of an international summit with turkey russia germany and france to be held soon i know america is open to all of these ideas although she's also stressed that the u.n. process on syria must continue and other forms as well but i think anything that would end the war soon that would appeal to merkel and other european leaders for sure now there seems to have been little progress on ukraine as the teenagers do have some common interests regarding energy tells me about that yeah ukraine is a sort of multifaceted problem both russia and germany agree that as far as the conflict in eastern ukraine is. concerns a un peace monitoring mission is a good idea and this is disagreements about exactly how it should be implemented the russians are concerned that it shouldn't get too close to the russian border so i'm sure they will have been talking about that now another part of ukraine sort

possibility that syrian refugees could start to return back home from europe as well as from the middle eastern countries e.g. course i think he's getting ahead of himself a little bit of the same time there's the prospect of a summit with russia and turkey and germany and france you know as another way of moving forward on paste. and america says she's open to all those ideas of the she wants to give us a peace process to continue as well and she said yesterday the important thing is to avoid a humanitarian crisis in live in northern syria but i think anything that could shorten the war there that would appeal to angela merkel and to other european leaders so there seems to have been progress on ukraine and the two leaders do have some common interests regarding energy what was that that they talked about yesterday we have as this know would stream to pipeline project would bring even more russian gas through the baltic sea to germany a very important project for russia putin said you know this would make russia an even more reliable energy partner for europe don't trump by the way says it wou

by france and that it is outside of the white paper so it does get complicated because of the middle easternpolitics that continue to reverberate today that is with the messy origin but they are trying to negotiate out of the border countries and into palestine. 8000. >> maybe this is more technical but the outgrowth could you speak of that approach to the academic paper to the more general audience? >> my advisors here i wrote my dissertation thinking this is it the last thing i could have written but then i learn that nobody reads those pages so then i realized there were parts in the dissertation but nobody had written it before and i thought i would put all their that way if somebody wants to know about labor life that there is a dissertation for that now but but it isn't the core story and not the people doing things but to me that is the best nonfiction that is the book of the agency trying different bureaucratic and this is the story of who they were what they try to do so there is a lot more heart in the book they had in the dissertation and that is the fundamental difference that hi

by the importance that the turkish government plays these are very european politics but also middle eastern politics the fact that it acts almost as an anchor around which the european union is able to deal with a great deal of different policies specifically remember that the deal which the turks and the european union signed together regarding migration of that need to stay in place so when angela merkel sees the economy the currency of turkey plunge in value that raises jitters as it were not just among her government but also financially in the financial heart of europe in germany rather it frankfurt while there are many many traders would look at turkish debt right now and wonder whether it's time to to get rid of it to try to to shore themselves up because they fear what may happen in turkey one final point to make here as violent as this current fall in value for the lira is go back ten years and the value of the currency not just against the dollar but also against the euro really has plunged very markedly indeed and that explains why the concern here in berlin but as i say across t

prepared now and that will come at a time for choosing but it is coming joshua landis a head of middle eastern studies at the university of oklahoma says there are multiple competing interests in syria. the united states does not want assad to become too strong and there you are hoping to keep leverage in order to try to push iran out of the country to get a better deal for the kurds and and of course they're also worried about what's going to happen if their products where there are very complex negotiations and and russia is at the heart of that so there are many competing agendas in washington and as long as president trump is not spending a lot of money there i think he's happy to keep a few thousand troops if that increases america's leverage the united states does not want to spend a lot of money and that's quite clear and many people have been complaining bitterly about deaths typically in iraq and other areas that have been quite badly destroyed they've been pressuring a saudi arabia which just said it would spend another hundred million in syria stabilization they've been pushing fran

it is interesting that our middle eastern allies were very much not pleased with it. they saw in monetary and military terms how there was an opening for iran to become more aggressive. i think our focus at this point is working with all of our allies to build a comprehensive international framework. what i have seen in our interactions with the europeans both pre-and post, there is a fair and wide consensus between ourselves and european allies on analysis of the iranian threat. much more so than there was before we started this process. our european interlocutors acknowledged the need to deal effectively with ballistic missile perforation and bringing revolutionary guard into syria. president mccrone had a four- point formula that is similar to the u.s. approach. >> you are talking about nonnuclear activity. i submit that we can continue to work with europeans on the nuclear activity. let's get the playing field straight today. the europeans are not interested in re-imposing new nuclear sanctions on iran. they are interested in trying to hold together this set of ec
