sole legitimate voice of the syrian people and the u.s. and other european nations stop short of doing so saying a foreign based group should show that it's able to represent syrians inside the country of paris also said it would look towards the rebels more on this story. the french president francois hollande said that the syrian opposition coalition would act as a temporary government in the future and he said that it would be the tosca of the syrian opposition to now establish a transitional government earlier in the week six gulf states recognize the opposition coalition what we could tolerate foreign minister saying that this recognition now removed obstacles to the securing of weapons to the syrian opposition it is important to make a distinct parallel with what we've seeing back on the tenth of march two thousand and eleven we saw the same scenario unfolding when france was the first country to recognize the transitional national council which was essentially the opposition fighters in libya and this is what we witnessing this para

support of the people so the fight now is not the president's fight the syrians fight every syrian is involved in defending his country no it is a lot of civilians are dying as well in the fighting so if you were to win this war how would you reconcile with your people after everything that has happened just be . again more precise the problem is not between me and the people i don't have a problem the people could not stay. the king has been the worst use against me many countries including turkey which is not of course against me if the peoples of the syrian people are against me how can they be there nothing against you here nothing against you if the whole would live through a big part of the world including your people against you are you surprised that you are just a human being so this is not political so it's not about to call siding with the people if papa bob the confusion between the syrian and the syrian don't have civil war it's above their reason and support coming from abroad support terrorist to destabilize syria this is a war you still believe it's a civil war because

where the myths about the syrian army and about the strong syrian secret services usually when you have for me when you have secret intel you know the things should focus on external enemy not internal i mean if you have in the internet maybe like terrorism. you have society that could help you at least not to. provide terrorists with incubate in that case it's a new kind we have a new kind of war terrorism through proxies either syrians living in syria or foreigner fighters coming from abroad so it's a new style before this is first so you have to adapt with this new started it takes time to stop these games and to see this is easier as you see as a normal or let's say traditional or regular war no it's much more difficult thickened the support that they've been had that's been offered to go through with every aspect or rents money political is unprecedented so you have to expect that it's going to be tough or in a difficult war you don't see it you don't expect a small country go through you have to defeat all those countries but been fighting us through proxies just in days or weeks

country and over the syrian have syria as a country and as a government entity. syria tribune editor in chief thank you for it forgive me should inform thoughts much pre-show to thank you for. foreign policy chief colin the highland policy expert rather he says i'm france's recognition of the new opposition bloc in the possibility it may arm the syrian rebels is yet another attempt to undermine a political solution to the bloody standoff. it's exactly the wrong thing to do at this point right now there is a four point peace plan that was put out by china it's a little vague at this point but a couple of government run newspapers in damascus have said that it looks like it's a basis for to begin negotiations and some talks france is essentially intervening in the situation is supporting a group that basically says there's no other solution but a military solution in terms of of of recognizing the groups i would suspect that britain might be next i mean that was the way it went in libya first syria then britain then the united states i'm not sure the united states

you know for years there has been so many stories about almighty syrian army only cotton syrian secret services but then we see that you know the government forces aren't able to crush the enemy like. people expected it would and we see terrorist attacks take place in the middle of damascus almost every day. where the myths about the syrian army and about the strong syrian secret services usually when you have for me when i have to click into you know the things which. focus on external enemy not the internet any even if you have been doing internet maybe like terrorism. you have society that could help you at least not to provide terrorists with you could be in that case it's a new kind we have a new kind of war terrorism through proxies either syrians living in syria or foreigner fighters coming from abroad so it's a new style before this is first so you have to adapt with this new started it takes times not these days and to say this is the normal or let's say traditional regular war no it's much more difficult think and the support that they've been had that's been offered to go th

within syrian borders. it's clear that the syrian army and the syrian government has no interest at all to have a conflict with their neighbors this is not what the syrian government once the resource or no strategic interest in expanding the conflict of course what happens is that every day a lot of terrorists infiltrate the country from within these countries from turkey from lebanon. these terrorists also operate from the golan heights. so when you have. infiltrating when you have a conflict militarized conflict accidents happen but to give you one example a few weeks ago when the turkish government accused the syrian government of launching rockets tool into thirty will now there is no proof that this rockets came from the syrian army. it could hold so have been that these rockets came from the rebels to them solo so no we haven't seen any proof ok chris thanks for the line belgian journalist writer christiansen there joining me live for the latest his latest thoughts there what's been happening thank y

as a result of the syrian people. this is this doesn't make sense to me and to syria it doesn't make sense politically even the first thing they see more workers more work and that's what we want and more workers are not in favor of the city of people here people are being killed with this we're. told because conditions up there were some of the shows they are supplying. money to go to. proxies so we're spending money so here it was in the money he was. arming training. this was the how it was to me it was from powers obviously france and the e.u. are being selective in applying the law. not only that breaks the embargo but also the they would be arming some of the extremist groups is this legal in france i don't know if it's possible that some countries will try to look through the instrument or your old books it is different then leave your out the. whole body that would happen in the middle east is beyond anybody's problem because if they decide to go it's. a sin to have figured this our private passions at the pen

support of the people so the fight now is not president's fight the syrians fight every syrian is involved in defending his country no it is a lot of civilians are dying as well.

for the free syrian army this is why we don't know exactly the. sort of numerous violations committed by individuals. and a.d.m. members of the fifty or just armed groups or maybe i should be of me here supported by the acid that he should add to the crimes committed by the acid that he is widespread and systematic but still the human eye was very ill asians by by the free syrian army is limited but but even doubts we condemn we see that this is a very alarming situation and we train them and we ask them actually to respect or their right of that we're going to prisoners they said we will not accept this you know if you chaired any kind of morons radiations so you're basically saying that you don't really have control over a lot of these people and the rebels appear to be openly running a campaign of intimidation targeting assad supporters that have already as you know so been a number of high profile murders including the murder of famous syrian actor what are you going to do to achieve control better in the very near future than we cannot see th

of syrians might. make confirm or might be with this new coalition to talk with them is that turkey is recognizing its coalition after all of course it is the main channel for those arms to the syrian rebels well this indeed is not very surprising if you see that within the last month turkey was supporting the rebels and i don't see the syrian rebels we know that the rebels who are fighting against the syrian government are coming from all over the region they are coming from the cultures it's reaching there are coming from of gonna start from yemen we know that they are rebels coming from newbie and even from sudan but that turkey is providing the infrastructure for these mercenaries are jihadists who are coming into the syrian country so we don't have to be surprised that turkey is doing also this there in the official recognition of this. of the national syrian coalition what we have to see is that this official recognition. this coalition needs far as that turkey tries now to justify and to somehow

this is why in some ways -- the long-term hope, perhaps, is a syrian solution for syrians.after this goes on a little while. a stalemate has developed to the point where, as in lebanon, all sides finally came together and agreed to restructure the political system and somehow move forward even if tenuously so. >> i thank you for helping out with the situation and helping the libyan people. my question deals with -- okay. i guess it's safe to assume that the international community is calling for assad to step down, and i we can assume he will fall eventually. what is the international community doing to plan for that transition? >> yeah. first of all, the assumption he'll fall some day might be a mistaken one. there's a very real possibility of that. this is a situation that is so volatile and complex. i mean, he could fall personally tomorrow. but at the hands perhaps of some others who think he is thinking bat negotiated solution and they don't want to do that. there's a core group that are going to be there for a while, and they still think they can win and they see this
