Return the newspaper "Nezavisimaya Gazeta" readership to the statement made by Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister, last Monday, December 12, and in which he said that Russia hopes to get an answer from the Arab League, about its proposal, to include representatives from Russia and her colleagues in the group "BRICS" (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), a mission of international observers, to be sent to Syria. With regard to the West's insistence on imposing sanctions against Syria, Lavrov see that these sanctions will not lead to any good results. He pointed out that the United States and the European Union and some other countries, show a hardening of this issue for more than half a year, and trying to impose more sanctions on Syria, including economic sanctions, adversely affect the lives of ordinary Syrian citizens.

Lavrov said that his country, and in opposition to Western countries, appears resolute in almost daily contacts with the representatives of the Syrian leadership, and through regular contacts with the opposition. These efforts and communication resulted in increased opportunities for consensus about starting a dialogue between the opposition and the regime. On the other hand, Lavrov confirmed that Russia strongly condemns the violence, regardless of where they practiced. But the West does not want to condemn the violence perpetrated by extremist groups Almslhalh, which increases its activity on Syrian territory against the legal system in the country.

In a commentary on the attitude of his country from the Syrian issue, he said, Orientalist Russian Georgy Mirsky told the newspaper: "If what happened in Libya did not happen, it would be possible to take Moscow another position, consistent with the Western position against Syria. But Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, he found himself in an awkward position after the decision to abstain from voting against the UN Security Council Resolution 1973 on Libya, and that Russia, if they used the right of veto against the resolution, what happened to Western military intervention in Libya, and Gaddafi has remained alive. He Mirsky that makes sense to take Vladimir Putin, eager to return to the presidential seat after a few months, which has already taken a negative attitude about the events in Libya, it makes sense to take a position consistent with his position that, and shows the appearance of defending the interests of Russia and its allies. and that Libyan case constituted a dangerous precedent, prompted Moscow to pursue a policy of its own, without dictates from Washington and Brussels. If Assad was able to stay in power, you will not have a reason to accuse Russia of betraying or abandoning it.

Informed sources said intelligence and leaks that Washington and Paris and London, trying to work on the trigger "color revolution" in Russia, in the ruling party and a private general Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

Because after that the observed centers of studies and opinion polls, the American and Western that the proportions of victory party "United Russia", led by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is likely to win the general election parliamentary simple majority, ranging between 51 to 53% of the seats in the Duma planned to ignite fuse the revolution.

Worked, these circles, the exploitation of the difference the small percentage that is likely to win the party "United Russia" in the elections, as this difference is small could open the way for fallacies and uncertainties, and in this regard has worked the Western powers with the United States the preparation of plans to raise the Russian public opinion, and in particular, opponents of leader Putin.

Where the scenario is set up to ignite the protests, so that the model takes the protests that have already sparked the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine, and the "pink revolution" in Georgia. As I said the information that the parties were represented by both Washington and Paris and London, has allocated funds for a group of Russian authorities to finance the Russian Revolution color.

In this regard, the information indicated that the amounts allocated for the initial implementation of this scheme lies in the range of $ 100 billion. Shareholders and that the bulk of this funding are some of the countries in the Middle East, in addition to the use of some Libyan assets frozen in American institutions and the European Bank.

According to information, it was the scenario to ignite color revolution, as the planning and preparation, once the emergence of the information talked about the victory of United Russia party by within 52% of the seats in the Duma, was quick and the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to accuse Moscow of rigging the election results. It also revealed with both Britain and France to take the same position of support for the view of America, which accuses the Russian government of rigging elections in favor of United Russia party. It is interesting to consider in this matter that the charges before the official results of elections; the fact that the counting was in progress at the time.

It should be noted that there is a disparity in attitudes between Russia and the West, and specifically the United States, France and Britain that the first obstacle to the implementation of some schemes Bank in the Middle East. It had also taken positions contrary to Western and American positions toward the Iranian nuclear crisis and the position of the Libyan crisis, and in the end position of events in Syria.

As well as Russia has strongly opposed the planned U.S. and Western systems of spreading the missile shield in nearby countries, considering it is threatening its national security. This is what drives a number of analysts to emphasize that a new cold war had started strongly, and that multilateralism has become a reality and fallen American unilateralism.

Putin also hit out at the color revolutions that swept former Soviet republics in the 2000s, hinting at foreign involvement in the 2004-2005 unrest in Ukraine that led to the toppling of the country's pro-Russia authorities and the election of the Western-leaning Viktor Yushchenko as president.

'This was a plan to destabilizse society. And I don't think it came about of its own," he said.

"Some of our opposition figures were in Ukraine," Putin added. "They worked as advisors to then President Yushchenko...and brought their experience back to Russia."

Putin alleged last week that the protests that erupted after the December 4 parlimentray polls had been encouraged by the United States, in particular by comments by Secreatray of State Hillary Clinton.

He also said on Thursday that he had mistaken the white ribbns worn by poll protesters for contraceptives.

"I thought it was an anti-AIDS campaign," he said.

Moscow city authorities gave the go-ahead on Wednesday for a new mass protest against alleged poll fraud on December 24.

Syria is deploying the "Bastion" advanced missile system along its coast. There had been uncertainty over the contract to supply Syria with Russia's advanced mobile coastal defence system L-300P "Bastion" carrying "Yakhont" missiles. Few people believed in the possibility of supplying Damascus with these weapons after the launch of the "reset" between Russia and the U.S. in 2009 because the move could really upset the balance of power in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Iran Ambassador to Moscow: Western Countries and Israel Reject Restoration of Stability in Syria

Dec 15, 2011

MOSCOW, (SANA) – Iran's Ambassador to Moscow Muhammad Reza Sajjadi stressed that the Western countries and Israel reject the return of stability and prosperity to Syria and to the Arab countries.

"Despite the fact that the Western countries realize Syria's important role in the region and the Islamic world, they have tried to undermine this role and they exerted political, economic, cultural and military pressures on Syria to punish it for its rejection of complying with the dictations of colonial countries, Ambassador Sajjadi said in a statement to SANA correspondent.

He added that Syria's people and leadership stance against the schemes of the US, Israel and the NATO countries in the region, made the Western countries work hard to create problems in Syria, and to exaggerate what is taking place on ground at a time when these countries ignore the protests and problems in other countries whose governments are subjected to the US and Western powers.

Sajjadi reiterated Iran's support to Syria in its rejection of the pressures exerted by Western and other countries.

He described Russia's policy in the region as "correct and deep" as it is based on deep analysis of the situation in Syria while the US and some Western countries impose their viewpoints and interests without paying any attention to the life of other people as it has been proven in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine over sixty years.

PARIS, (SANA)- French journalist Jacques Borde criticized his country's foreign policy, blaming it for the deterioration in the relations between Syria and France.

In an interview with GeoStrategy website, Borde said the logistic support offered by Paris to the gunmen in Syria by means of secret supply of military equipment constitutes an aggression on a state that is a member of the United Nation.

He added that based on the strict French legislations regarding export of military equipment, the officials and parties sponsoring these acts will be pursued if a new political majority would come to power after the French presidential elections of 2012.

The French historian denounced the demeanor of his country which did not only provide military equipment to the gunmen, but also monitored the Syrian Army's sites via satellite and transferred the information to the gunmen.

Borde said the problem is that the French President Nicolas Sarkozy is putting the cart before the horse, indicating to a "strange contradiction" in the French attitude.

He said that France is standing alone on the front line, asking sarcastically "Why do the Americans have to dirty their hands when a fool is there to do the dirty acts on their behalf."

OTTAWA, (SANA) - The U.S. journalist Tony Cartalucci criticized the American ABC News' attempt to distort President Bashar al-Assad's interview with Barbara Walters through deliberate omission in sensitive parts to give a completely different impression than what President al-Assad intended to give out.

In an article published by the global research website Cartalucci said "Events taking place in Syria exposed the duplicity, discourtesy, and intellectual depravity displayed by Barbra Walters who "saw pictures," read a fraudulent UN report written by authors with ties to US corporate-financier interests, and listened to an Obama speech and therefore is an expert on the premeditated, US-facilitated chaos sweeping across parts of Syria."

He added that "And even as she sits in Syria's calm capital of Damascus, invited in by al-Assad who has been accused of barring foreign reporters, she still insists that Syria is in utter chaos, irrationally closing itself off from the world, and with a population completely turned against the Syrian government."

Cartalucci said that broadcasting the full interview later on helped correcting the distortion, describing Walters' behavior as "disgraceful".

He pointed out to a number of facts to dispel the false premises that Walters started from in its job, particularly the UN human rights report on Syria which consisted of no evidence and was mainly based on interviews of alleged witnesses produced by Syria's opposition in Geneva.

Cartalucci added "The report itself was compiled in part by Karen AbuZayd, a Director of the US Washington-based corporate think-tank, Middle East Policy Council, that includes Exxon men, CIA agents, US military and government representatives, and even the president of the US-Qatar Business Council, which includes amongst its membership, al-Jazeera, Chevron, Exxon, munitions manufacturer Raytheon (who supplied the opening salvos during NATO's operations against Libya).

"Violence amongst protests was confirmed and documented by even the mainstream press as early as April 2011, where protesters committed arson on public buildings including administrative centers and police stations. Reports of snipers attacking protesters and troops simultaneously were also reported. As early as June, hundreds of Syrian troops had already been reported dead," said Cartalucci.

He stressed that what is taking place in Syria is funded by the NATO Alliance which consists of "a very real terrorist threat".

Cartalucci referred to what has been reported by international media confirming the presence of a Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (listed by the US State Department as a terrorist organization) on the Turkey-Syrian border preparing militants to fight the Syrian government with the assistance of Turkey's government.

He said that the statements made by a number of the U.S. officials stress that what is happening in Syria came in line with a decision taken by the US since 1991 which aimed at cleaning up governments in the Middle East that support Russia, namely Syria, Iran and Iraq before the rising of another super power to challenge the Western domination.

"The unrest in Syria from the beginning was entirely backed by Western corporate-financier interests and part of a long-planned agenda for region-wide regime change, said Cartalucci, indicating to the covert funding and support for opposition groups since Bush administration.

Cartalucci indicated to the cables released by the Washington Post which revealed that the US has been funding Syrian opposition groups since at least 2005 and continued until today.

He also underscored statements of Michael Posner, the assistant US Secretary of State for Human Rights and Labor, on Washington organizing training sessions for 5,000 activists including activists from Tunisia, Egypt, Syria and from Lebanon.


US troops surround Syria on the eve of invasion?
http://rt.com/usa/news/us-nato-syria-edmonds-709/
Published: 13 December, 2011, 20:41

A former official from within the ranks of the Federal Bureau of Investigation is reporting that US and NATO forces have landed outside of Syria and are training militants to overthrow the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

Whistleblower Sibel Edmonds, formerly a translator with the FBI, wrote over the weekend that American soldiers are among the NATO troops that have mysteriously and suddenly landed on the Jordanian and Syrian border. According to her, several sources internationally have confirmed the news, although the US media has been instructed to temporarily censor itself from reporting the news.

Additionally, Edmonds says that American and NATO forces are training Turkish troops as well, to possibly launch a strike from the north of Syria.

Edmonds writes that an Iraqi journalist based out of London has confirmed that US forces that vacated the Ain al-Assad Air Base in Iraq last week did in fact leave the country as part of President Obama's drawdown of troops, but rather than return home, the soldiers were transferred into Jordan during the late hours of Thursday evening. Another source, writes Edmonds, informs her that "soldiers who speak languages other than Arabic" have been moving through Jordan mere miles from the country's border with Syria. Troops believed to be NATO/American-affiliated have been spotted between the King Hussein Air Base in al-Mafraq and the Jordanian village of Albaej and its vicinity.

Nizar Nayouf, a correspondent for Edmond's Boiling Frog Post whistleblower site, says an employee of the London-based offices of Royal Jordanian Airlines has further confirmed that at least one US aircraft transporting military personnel has brought American troops into Jordan in recent days. Nayouf, the former editor-in-chief of Sawt al-Democratiyya (Democracy's Vote), had previously been sentenced to a decade behind bars for critiquing the Syrian government. He later won several human rights awards and the 2000 UNISCO prize for press freedom.

Since the uprising of rebel forces opposing al-Assad's regime over Syria nearly a year ago, American officials have been critical of the country's government but insist that they have otherwise distanced themselves from becoming involved in the protests. Following the deaths of dozens of protesters in the spring of 2011, the United States imposed strict sanctions against the official government of Syria.

Navi Pillay, the United Nations' high commissioner for human rights, revealed this week that the uprising in Syria has caused over 5,000 deaths since it began in early 2011. In the case of the crackdown against former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's regime, NATO involvement began only one month into the uprising. Nine months later, the total death toll of the Libyan Civil War is estimated to be close to 30,000.

In her report, Edmonds says that NATO troops have been training soldiers just outside of Syria since as early as May, and that US media is prohibited from reporting on it until today. The Turkish paper Milliyet also reports that defected Syrian colonel Riyad al-Asaad is preparing troops to take over the Syrian government as well.

反体制派への弾圧が続くシリアでは、国際社会による経済制裁が続いている。

15日、ダマスカス市内のプロパンガス店では、入荷が滞っているガスを手に入れようと、市民が殺到した。

また、スーパーマーケットなどでは、肉や野菜といった食料品の価格が経済制裁前と比べて3割近く上昇していて、制裁の影響が市民生活を直撃している。

市民は「服の値段は変わらないが、食べ物は高い」、「外国から輸入するものは、すごく高くなっている」などと話した。

こうした中、シリア外務省のマクディシ報道官がFNNのインタビューに対し、経済制裁を強く批判した。

マクディシ報道官は「制裁はよくない。シリア経済に影響を与えている。これは不当な制裁だ」と述べた。

一方で、地方都市の状況はさらに悪いともいわれているが、シリア情勢をめぐる事態打開のめどは立っていない。

アサド大統領による独裁が続くシリアで、広報手段の中核ともいえる国営テレビ局に15日、FNNの取材班が入った。
佐々木 亮記者の報告です。

首都ダマスカスにあるシリア国営放送。

今回、シリア政府が管轄する、このシリア国営放送の取材が特別に許可された。

スタジオには、最新の機材が並んでいる。

このスタジオから伝えられるニュースは、多数の死者が出ている現在のシリアの状況について、「シリア軍と武装したテロリストの戦いによるもの」と報じていて、国際社会が非難している「反体制派への弾圧」という構図とは大きく異なっている。

国営テレビのキャスターは「(国営メディアが正しい?)それはそうよ。(軍が弾圧なんて)海外メディアは大うそつき」と語った。

一方で、市内では、海外の衛星テレビやインターネットなどを見ることも可能だが、市民から政権に対する批判の声は聞かれず、今は政権側の主張を受け入れている様子。
