maybe poland or turkey get nervous before germany and denmark? >> if all we were doing were maintaining everything we have the status quo started drastically reducing nuclear weapons there might be an argument that country's get nervous and the concern is they might sell nuclear capabilities of their own or want us to fall apart but as trine said, things don't happen in isolation. what we need to think about is how you supplement your extended reassurance capabilities and that is the political process that gets to how often you engage with these countries and the question where american troops are deployed and what sort of capability the being purchased on a conventional side. there's a whole list of things we could do and should have done that we didn't that would then make it much easier than going to lower numbers but even if that were true we have a long way to go before these countries start to get nervous. >> we have one or two more questions and lots of hands here. why don't we go over here to nancy in the green and over here to mr. s.t.a.

hostilities inside syria it would be devastating for the range of hostilities broke out in lebanon or in turkey or on the iraqi border in ways that could implicate the entire middle east and that's the great danger of the game that is being plays now by both syria and on both sides of the divide by the united states and europe on the one hand and russia and others on the other hand you know you've got here a wounded you've got a wounded tiger and if it gets out of its cage it's going to devour a lot of people before it's taken down what do you expect that issue then to be addressed tomorrow in this summit in geneva. well it's hard to tell because the fact is the some of the geneva seems to be largely a front for nato and turkey in the western interest and of course we know there are two or more actually i mean turkey has its own positions or a russia has its position and the united states and nato have had their position the united states and europe are not wholly at one on this because the situation in syria is even more pressing for europe with the possibility of the interruption of oil from

you would think the american interest would be protected by muslim brotherhood or turkey? >> you know they have a very good relation with the turkish. or the saudi in syria. or american interests. thank you. >> if i understand the question correctly. i think it's -- the saudis are concerned about events in syria, obviously. as is cutter, as is uae, as libya is about events in the unfairness of the conflict. and the longer this drags out, obviously, the more likely or possibility that it could become a proxy war. between iran and saudi arabia, and not to mention the longer it drags out, the more likely foreign fighters come in and there's a greater influence of al qaeda and other extremist organizations. all i can say is that the syrian resistance needs help. they need weapons. they need to be able to organize. they need to be able to -- effectively resist a russian-supplied, iranian-supported effort to clamp down and repress the people of syria. the longer it goes on, the worse it gets. and i believe that this statement that bashar al-assad will inevitably go, which the ad

maybe poland or turkey get nervous before germany and denmark do. >> and i think if all we were doing were maintaining everything that we had status quo and started drastically reducing our nuclear weapons, there might be an argument that the countries would start to get nervous. of course, the concern is they might start to develop nuclear capabilities of their own or the alliance would fall apart. however, as was said, these things don't happen in isolation. right? what we need to think about is how you supplement your extended reassurance capabilities to these countries. and that is a political process. it gets to how often you engage with these countries. it gets to the question where american troops are deployed, hour you interappropriate? what sort of capabilities are being purchased on the conventional side. i think there is a whole list of things that we could do and should have done and didn't that would make it much easier for the united states to go to much lower numbers. even if that were true, wing is i think we have a long way to go before these countries really start to

or turkey claims it's down jet was unarmed was simply testing out the country's radar system but the head of an independent syrian media outlets his own crew was probably spying on damascus it could be there they were just saying. we know. it was marked and this time it was actually. very that shut it down with a maximum range of five kilometers on lease or what was that i'm doing it i mean there was a way from. our land or our territorial water i don't think the need to alter any legal. situation for putting any more pressure on syria something else was doing courting or trying to spy on the syrian army's movement in that area because of their years out. to be this close to the syrian border and it was actually. some kind of. intelligence one. in just over an hour's time r.t. interviews of top syrian diplomats who defends the country's continued purchase of arms from abroad. syria has the right to procure weapons used to protect itself its sovereignty and its own people of the countries that have been supplying the terrorists with weapons this is a proven fact that we have brought u

international airspace without warning on the mascot's maintains it was flying over syrian territory or turkey has denied claims the plane was on a spying mission saying it was on a training flight syria responded that its actions were defensive or not aggressive wreckage has already been located in the mediterranean sea with the search for two missing pilots on going. on the stop the war coalition says the incident was most likely an error yet turning to me international conflict. witnessing the drawing in of the major powers into the conflict in syria but we've seen here reprint and speech warning the russians about the addition of attack helicopters we've seen the british send a ship back supposedly carrying a child it got those from from around the coast of britain back to back to russia and now we see this incursion into syrian airspace by by the turkish air force it is of course theoretically possible that what the turks were doing was probing syrian air space to see whether or not they would react in this way i think actually this is probably an error but when it arrives to relations be

or to turkey or to the united states as you look at turkish relations with the u.s. and europe, what would you consider to be the most important piece of advice you could give, um, that if it were implemented would make progress on this overall subject that we've been discussing? is -- and let's go in reverse order from the original presentations. mr. minister? >> [inaudible] >> if you like. >> the present circumstances does not allow to revise despite the positive agenda which is, which is being implemented nowadays. i don't see that the accession process will change in nature soon in the days to come. because european union has its own problem and perhaps it is better for turkey to put more order to its interior. when i was chairing the european union commission in the turkish parliament for last eight years, i always said that turkey should set, put aside all that angela merkel says today or sarkozy said yesterday and should try to use the accession process in order to put more order to its interior. to make turkey a first class democracy, to make turkey a country

needs turkey more or whether turkey meets the u.s. more.effective security and diplomatic efforts by the u.s. in the region required turkish support. affect is turkish approaches to gradually stabilize the region while allowing democracy to advance require active u.s. cooperation. whatever the plan, and not to be based on anyone's analysis about who needs to more or who has more leverage over home in managing the crisis. interestingly the current u.s. and turkey talks to open the door for the closest military to military cooperation between the two countries in the last decade. while cooperation has gradually increased, they are still lingering tension and resentments from the iraq war and the american military side and perhaps i'm turkey still need to be addressed. the reconciliation of leadership that these two militaries would itself be a positive step in stabilizing the region for a long term democratic progress. as you know, reconciliation is not often and announced school between sides with strongly held views. i will note, however th

our land our territorial water i don't think the neato or turkey have any legal. situation for putting any more pressure on syria and i really don't think the syrian government is worried about and there was clear in. their mind this is a press conference yesterday some claim that turkey could have been testing syria's air defense in preparation for some kind of an intervention to think that could be the case. that it could be the case especially that it happened one day and only after. the fictional syrian pilots it could be there they were testing but from what we know for sure that it was and they are correct that somebody that should be. thinking that it's something else that the jet was doing you know perhaps. recording or trying. to buy on the syrian army's movement in that area because of their you know how to area if testing they would be like. distinct the hundred system for example or whether or not it is the distinctive answer by trying to. be. this close to the syrian border there is i don't think it's worth testing as as much as it was. actually a. se

or invited. of course syria is paranoid about its borders right now because turkey is allowing nato countries to rm these rebels and when countries are very concerned or fearful about what's going on right across their borders when people are arming terrorists to come into the countries and really we could have a then be off and we'll get out here tension hair trigger alert and that seems to be what may have happened with the syrians all right thanks for your time dr kevin barrett an author and radio talk show host in wisconsin thank you. president vladimir putin says the stalemate over iran's nuclear program should be resolved diplomatically while on his middle east mediation torrie also said he believed there was a will both among israelis and palestinians toward a peaceful solution party's policy or has more. the russian president is now in jordan where he is missing with the jordanian king abdullah they have discussed the story israeli palestinian negotiations at the same time issues of regional importance that include iran and syria earlier he was in the palestinian city of bethlehem where h

well of course there's a gray area and the question is how are turkey or nato or the countries that wantto intervene military in syria going to take advantage of that gray area it's interesting for example that syria is supposedly apologizing to turkey why isn't turkey apologizing for one of its warplanes over following syrian space i think the real danger that it's pointed to here is that unlike kosovo or libya or other cases where nato wanted to intervene and was relying on a say an atrocity story to justify its action syria borders on a nato country and if the forces in the western countries or saudi arabia and turkey who really want to get into a war in syria want to bring that about the simplest way to do that would be for there to be some provocation some incident. on the border with turkey and syria where turkey can then claim a nato country is under attack aggression by the bashar al assad regime and invoke article five of the north atlantic treaty to justify nato taking military action. now turkey as you said is a member of nato how do you think that could affect the situation i

needs turkey more or whether turkey meets the u.s. more. effective security and diplomatic efforts by the u.s. in the region acquired turkish support. effective turkish approaches to gradually stabilizing the region while allowing democracy to advance, require active u.s. operation. whatever the plan, it ought not to be based on anyone's analysis about who needs whom were who has more leverage over whom in managing a crisis. interestingly, the current u.s. and turkey talks to open the door for the closest military to military cooperation between the two countries in the last decade. while cooperation has gradually increased, there is still lingering tensions and resentments from the iraq war on the american side come and perhaps on turkey's. it still needs to be addressed. the reconciliation of leadership between these two militaries would itself be a very positive step in stabilizing the region for a long-term democratic progress. as you know, reconciliation is not often and announced goal between sides with strongly held views. a note, ho

turkey has been blessed with a very volatile one. future historians will pass judgment on whether this is ultimately a good thing or not. but we in turkey for one know the truism that lies in the saying, if it does not kill you, it makes you stronger. indeed, the state of our economy and our emerging international political standing are a testament to the fact that despite all these crises, we are not doing badly at all. but i will not digress into boasting about turkey. i'll let others do that. my job is to focus on turkey-u.s. relations and the most crucial issues on our common agenda. obviously the u.s. invested in all of these major upheavals that i am talking about, whether it is the economic crisis in europe and its ramifications for all of us, the balkans and beyond, or whether it is our transition that's unfolding before our eyes in the middle east and north africa. today based on common universal values of democracy, respect for human rights, rule of law, and free market economy, our two great nations are working on a daily, almost hourly basis, to strive vigorously to further our shared interests and achieve ou

the question is the weapons placed in those countries will then be transferred to turkey or italy or withdrawn back to the united states. either i think would still mean a an extended deterrence and you could argue that within the alliance as well. i think you could go down to perhaps you mentioned 20, you could go down to five, 10 weapons in europe and still say that there is an extended deterrence. so i don't think it's the numbers. i think it is much more to do with nato not being able to let go of the symbolic value that is attached to those weapons. i think most nato and including the central and east europeans, realize that they have no strategic importance and that this will provide just as much protection if i can call it that as those based in europe. so i don't think it's the numbers that is the issue. i think it is zero or more than zero that's the issue. >> and one point of clarification. the defense and deterrent posture view that was released by nato in chicago states that the supreme guarantee of allied security are the strategic nuclear weapons of the three countries

turkey. it can somehow the turkish people and government that america is willing to take risks for the sake of their security and invest in their success. and we're not an unreliable partner or declining power, as some in turkey allege. we cannot afford to squander this opportunity. the conflict in syria is but one part of a larger story now unfolding across north africa, the middle east, and central asia. it is a story of struggle by people throughout this region to reconcile islam with democratic politics, and a secular state. to subordinate the power of armed groups and military forces,ed civilian authorities. to resolve through politics, not violence. to balance the dynamism of free markets with popular demands for equitable economic development and to do all of this while waging a broader struggle against the subversive visions of iran. turkey is now an epic player in this story. as i travel through the region again and again and how much they wish to emulate it in their country. modern turkey has never had greater influence to shape the development of the region, and with that power comes a greater responsibility. responsibility to lead by example. more and more people

we could be throwing turkey at each other or wild turkey bottles or whatever you want to throw at each other. in a family squabble and fight. but you had to be together. because the family could solve it, ultimately. without unions, nothing else was possible. he centralized that power, that idea. he later said the divine right of kings and prerogative authority of rulers has fallen before the intelligence of the age. standing on these military jeep's can no longer produce public opinion. commendations of the wealthy and professional practice. paging secretary paulson.

turkey, potentially. we'll see. turkish officials are outraged after syrian forces shot down a military jet late last week. talks are now underway on where this conflict goes next and whether or to get involved here, especially if turkey and syria really go at it. lieutenant colonel oliver north is the host of war stories and is a fox news military analyst. colonel north, let's just start with the basics. >> right. jenna: syria shot down a turkish jet. is that an act of war? >> the airplane is a u.s.-built unarmed two-person vietnam era reconnaissance aircraft shot down over the mediterranean in international waters last friday. the russians, by the way, probably supplied the heat-seeking missile that was used even though the syrians are saying it was shot down by machine gunfire. physically impossible given where the airplane went down. russia, by the way, said today, jenna, that it's not a provocation and warned the west against further action against the syrians. jenna: do you think, do you think that was a, to tempt someone to do something else? i mean, what was behind shooting that jet down? >> well, because all along the syrian/turkish border which is where the aircraft

actors like you know leftist power to use or liberal parties they could deal with the economy situation and challenges and this is what we see already are there in turkey or in tunisia and other parts and we see it in other parts of the board you know the brits they're actually very enthusiastic about the whole arab spring and now we see them worried because they're saying there's the whole thing and the environment is like a new environment for terrorist recruitment and training really that you know absolutely i don't believe that you know our i don't like you know to follow up this discourse otherwise it does mean that democracy is but i think for the region i think the best solution pollution is to have more democracy not to preclude the name of the process of democracy in the name of terrorism or certitude you know we already see certain you know into groups even this in london and madrid that doesn't mean that we don't question the spanish or the democracy now on a different note i know that you have presided on one of the friends of syria conference. that was looking for the solution to the syrian crisis or russia or china or iran were present at

been quite frustrated not to know i was not actually up to against turkey or. these countries are. they are. doing actions that they. create what this is like a declaration of war what you have is a terrorist in the border and being armed and then sending them over the border to kill people is a declaration you want to assume things are very very close to it but i don't i don't understand how this could be a declaration of war i mean perhaps what are some analysts are saying that this is a recognizance flight that simply crossed the border when it got too close well you know this is what turkey is saying now because they're trying to dump its solution i feel that they don't want to get into a war so they have been downplaying it but the sooner people are quite happy to see that syria has the fund. to sit its ground there enquired hard mistaken when you say the syrian people you're talking about those who support the regime. well you know not necessarily because i for one. support the government along with i am definitely against these formally and cities trying to war in my country

turkey. what do the kurds want? iterative pkk ores dpp. this doesn't matter.the vast majority of kurdish people, according to my opinion wants their public political recognition and the turkish. so are there any constitutional obstacles for this public legal recognition of kurdish identity in turkey today? when we look at the articles in the constitution, we might see some problematic articles that should be changed. but as professor gunter referred to, arguing that the unamended bowl changes in the constitution, that is kind of sort of blocking the way republican political recognition of identity and turkey. i practically don't agree with this because the first three articles of the turkish constitution are not changeable. and all my article iii, the first clause of article iii has some of the of the events in this debate. articles three stipulates the territorial and national integrity of the turkish republic. it doesn't say anything more. but the higher court is in turkey, most importantly the constitutional court and the turkish court of appeals, we have a
