arab envoy to syria mr kofi anon was recently in syria met with syrian president bashar al assad but left without any ceasefire agreement what all members of the security council do agree on is that. if you place down the bullets need to stop flying there needs to be dialogue and negotiations taking place between both sides in syria now we do know that you know history has shown that russia and china oppose any international intervention in military intervention in syria saying that they do not want to see a repeat of what has happened in libya the u.s. and its european allies and some arab countries have pushed for more kind of intervention in the past but also called for president bashar al assad to step down russia and china many other countries maintain their position that the international community cannot be used as a tool of the security council cannot be used as a tool to overthrow governments that it's up to the syrians to decide the fate of their country in the future but at this point what this meeting is about is to try to stop the violence violence that's been going on f

we don't know exactly what mr coffee anon brought to moscow. but we learned that. they can concentrate that. syria put very hard. and they say the syrian army. and serbs around to lay down their weapons and ask what terms block to support their stop their support to the answers or to the opposition military support and financial support and so on so and i think coffee and i'm trying to moscow today yesterday and today is discussion asking moscow to put pressure on the syrian regime to be flexible and its conditions and. as you said in your report this is the last chance for them of presently i'm sorry to say i am not that optimistic because that would succeed because they are asking for a ceasefire to respect the ceasefire from only one side if you talk about ceasefire but. two sides if syria will accept the conditions of the initial reports. the corporation. who can guarantee that that's why from different time we will respect such a decision and. respect the ceasefire and they will not take advantage from a cease fire from the government side to gain positions on
