today i think is going to be a very difficult conversation simply because we heard from president the mirrors and a few days ago who was quite mist actually that the un secretary general was going 1st and last scope. and then coming to keyvi actually said that it was that i'm bigger this position and he said that he thought that the secretary general's should 1st come here see for himself what happened. maybe do one of those visits to the north of cave that many foreign officials have been doing while here in country and then go to moscow to discuss the situation with the official that said he is coming here now with a green light in principle for the un, to organize human italian cory door in my you pull, he's probably going to discuss that with not only president did ask about also the foreign minister to meet you labor. you should be meeting before meeting the president. that would be the discussion, but when it comes to bringing about something on the political track to do, secretary general has nothing to offer. when it comes to that, the big oceans are stalling, he couldn't get through, it must go about this. so i think he's going to concentrate all his efforts on
