Q - Dr. Jihad Where did the negotiations with the Syrian Arab League?

C - thank you, I am happy to be on your screen. The last thing we came up with the Arab League is the result of exchange between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and His Excellency the Secretary-General of the Arab League, the exchange of clarifications requested by Syria and the answers to the Arab League, and the last release is that the Foreign Minister Mr. Walid al-Muallim sent a message to His Excellency the Secretary-General since about 24 hours, tell him we are ready to sign the final version of this Protocol in the light of the exchange that happened, the ball in the court of the Arab League.

Q - What are the steps to be taken by Syria in the case of a referral by the Syrian Arab League to the Security Council?

C - regret for the way stewards, we do not see any justification for the referral and the internationalization of most of the file Syria, because Syria in the case of full cooperation, and so we sent about 18 clarification we asked the Secretary-General, which is answered in two batches did not have a full explanation immediately and there was no delay from the Syrian side, if you read the draft protocol in the light of the exchanges with the Arab League Tgdonh logically, and what did Syria is only increasing the dose of coordination between the Syrian government and the mission is supposed created in Syria in order to accomplish the task, and did not touch the essence or structure of the mission and composition in Syria, we only save the sovereignty of Syria and coordination with the Syrian side, we do not see anything to prevent the signing of the draft protocol of intent if not in the proper targeting Syria.

Q - What's new in the Iraqi initiative, and what is their share of success?

- Mhkour the Iraqi side on this initiative, in fact too early to get into the details because the initiative is still in the process of sharing visions of each party, but I can tell you that the Iraqi delegation to meet with Mr. President Dr. Bashar al-Assad yesterday, and I to add and say that the meeting was very positive, with the Iraqi delegation. Iraqi delegation, of course, went to Cairo, and there are other meetings with the spectra of the other, and we are still in the process of exchange of views and perceptions of each party, the fact is I do not know what are the details, but I tell you that the Syrian side, no effort is in the help of Syria and not to target Syria, we welcome in principle.

Q - How do you see the Syrian government to the Russian draft resolution in the Security Council, and whether you were informed in advance?

C - I can say to you, we are confident that the friendly Russian intentions is to help Syria, and I read that it is still a draft resolution, and I read it and there are many positive and of course, would be the decision 100% on the breakdown of what Syria wants, but if you want to look at a draft resolution in general, is a step on the road to help Syria and it would be interesting to watch the reaction is not Syrian, but other people will react to such a step. I read the draft resolution in the things that are positive, I am a diplomat to focus on more positive than negative, there is an emphasis on dialogue, tighten the arms embargo in the Syrian state, promoting the upcoming parliamentary elections in February next, good things have nothing to support the Syrian position, encourage initiative Arab and Syria agreed to originally, in the sense that things in terms of the total, positive, and we add to this positive we trust Russian intentions, they want to help Syria, especially in light of the suspicious movements of the Security Council, it is a matter of preventive diplomacy.

Q - Is it possible that Russia plays the role of mediator?

- The mediator must be acceptable to both parties, and I say to you from the Syrian side we trust Russia, and we believe that Russia is not only a friend to Syria, but as a permanent member of the Security Council, what you are doing now is to exercise this role, form and sound, which saved international peace and security in a volatile region like the Middle East, and we see that Russia is an objective look at things and see that the solution in Syria is through dialogue, and by preventing foreign interference in the internal problem can be solved through dialogue and open political prospects. Syria is working to build and create a scene of a new political is to rewrite the Constitution, rather than amending the constitution, there is a new law on parties, we would like to be encouraged opposition to the acceptance of dialogue, opposition also does not know many people are refusing to dialogue, we started the demands of legitimate Syrian people responded to her Syrian leadership, there trying to kidnap this agenda to make it now mobilizing agenda and use of weapons against the prestige of the state and state agencies and state buildings, the rejection of dialogue. If the subject responded to the reform of Syria and responsive, and there are more courageous steps in this area, but if the subject was to destabilize Syria and Syria to fight through proxies and other extensions will not accept that Syria. We in any case we would like to get out of this crisis, and we believe that the solution to this crisis is resolved Syria par excellence, is the only external factor to reduce the mobilization against the inside of Syria.

Q - What is the health of the news about the formation of a government of national salvation?

C - do not have information on this subject, if I have information I'll tell them, I speak on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I can tell you the opinion of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I have no information, but in any case, any solution will lead out of the Syrian crisis, I have no doubt that Syrian leadership will be taken as soon as possible.

Q - How do you see the media coverage of what is happening in Syria?

C - a very important question, not really a secret that Syria is now subjected to a fierce media war, the war has media tools now, and everyone knows what are the channels that do so. What Syria is doing is that there are Syrian diplomatic active, is currently working on our embassies in the capitals in the Syrian moves, both on the subject of ongoing reforms, or clarify the lies. The Syrian media are performing their modest means by which we recognize what can be done to clarify things to the Syrian street, because in the Syrian abroad you admit we do not have access to the citizen in America ... For example, the President gave an interview to explain to the American citizen, and the West generally, the Syrian position, they distort and distorted. This agenda is not us involved in it, of course, we condemn this agenda, but what we do now, and your presence is a part of this subject is to open the door to foreign media in order to know the reality of what's going on, and now we are under your visit now welcome you to Syria, and there is also the delegations of media great to visit Syria, there are Spanish newspapers such as Alelmundo, The Guardian to come, there is a Chinese television, and Japanese television, and news agencies large from Italy, TV network Rai Italian are all currently in Syria, and came from the Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph, ÇáČíČí CNN, and Sky, This campaign is an awareness campaign for the truth of what is happening in Syria, we do not deny that there is a crisis in Syria, but we invite all to learn the privacy of this crisis, and that the issue is not black and white, there are shades of gray a lot to reach the color of the other, and this is what we would like the media moving with integrity .

Q - There have been many conversations about that Syria has become in isolation, what do you think?

C - I disagree with you words, isolation, I tell you Syria, under pressure, under the pressure of grinding, but the word isolation cannot be applied to Syria because the reality of the geopolitical and geographical Syria makes those who would like to isolate Syria is isolated from the issues of the region. But I admit to you there is political pressure overwhelmingly against Syria and we hope that this pressure will end gradually as to implement the reform agenda, which we carry out gradually, there were elections, local administration has, in writing the constitution ended the first draft and soon, God willing, will issue the final version, there will be parliamentary elections in next February, all of this will create a new political reality in Syria would lead logically to the end of this pressure, if the intentions, as I said I always say is Syria's help, not destabilize Syria.

Q - What about the Syrian-Turkish relations?

C - regret what the status of these relations with Turkey, and we are ready to resume the great cooperation that we have built with neighbor Turkey in case Turkey has conducted a review in a constructive and critical attitude to what is happening in Syria. Are keen on good-neighborliness and on relations with Turkey, but as they say: Partnering requires the parties and not the party.

DAMASCUS, (SANA) - Foreign and Expatriates Minister Walid al-Muallim said that Syria and the Arab League General Secretariat signed the protocol of the Arab League observers mission, affirming that the decision to sign it was purely Syrian and based on the interests of the Syrian people.

In a press conference held Monday al-Muallim said that Syria wouldn't have signed the protocol regardless of the circumstances if no amendments were made to it, stressing that the signing the protocol is the start of cooperation between Syria and the Arab League as Syria wants a political solution to resolve the situation as soon as possible with the participation of the AL and its observers.

"Syrian sovereignty was preserved in the heart of the protocol," the Minister said, affirming that coordination with the Syrian government will take place via a national committee that will send reports to both sides which will be discussed before taking any other action according to the protocol and the Syrian amendments.

He affirmed that Syria welcomes every sincere Arab effort to resolve the crisis, and that it will deal with the observers mission seriously, professionally and objectively, adding that the observers' mission will have a duration of one month that can be extended for one more month only with the consent of the two parties, and that the mission will be protected by the Syrian state and free to move.

The Minister pointed out that some Arab sides want to internationalize the crisis in Syria, noting that those who wants the interest of the Syrian people do not impose economic sanctions on them and seek internationalization.

"We don't fear internationalization as the West and some Arabs' intentions have been revealed and won't exceed the economic sanctions," he said, stressing that the Russian stance hasn't change and that coordination continues between Syria and Russia which advised signing the protocol, which Syria did.

al-Muallim said that there is no communication with the Turkish side due to the Justice and Development Party (AKP)'s one-eyed views that led it to impose sanctions against Syria and embrace groups which don't want the interest of Syria.

"We want to come out of the crisis and build a safe and modern Syria that is an example in democracy and plurality and all contributions are welcome," he said, stressing that the political solution is based on national dialogue and national reconciliation, but some of the opposition abroad reject dialogue.

"What encouraged us to make the decision to sign was the phone call from AL General Secretary Nabil al-Arabi yesterday morning, during which I felt that the man is sincere and wants to discuss and coordinate with us and contribute to a political solution for the crisis… I relayed this to the President and the leadership… this is what encouraged us, regardless of a word here and there," al-Muallim said.

He pointed out that Syria maintained correspondence with the Arab League since November 16 when the draft protocol was sent, with Syria expressing desire to add amendments to it which were met by the rejection of any amendment, causing Syria to consider it a submission protocol.

al-Muallim went on to say that correspondence and rejection continued while the Arab Ministerial Committee convened and issued ultimatums, while Syria continued to say that it cannot sign the protocol unless amendments were made to protect national sovereignty.

"We and the AL Secretary General relied on a mutual friend who was a legal expert and the Secretary General agreed on making some amendments on the text of Protocol's draft in which we sensed keenness on our national sovereignty and coordination of the mission's work with the government," he said, adding that the two sides agreed on several Syrian additions, and based on that the Arab Ministerial Committee met in Doha to approve the amendments.

"During the meeting, the Secretary General called me and said that the committee agreed to all the amendments except for a word they want to add, and I said that this isn't a matter of a word but rather intentions… he responded by saying that if the protocol isn't signed and if we don't agree to add the word then the situation will become grave, so I told him that whether or not we sign the protocol then we will go to the Security Council in a month or two, so I refuse to add any word and what interests me is intentions," the Minister said.

He pointed out that after an hour, the Secretary General called and asked if the refusal is a final decision which al-Muallim confirmed, following which the Ministerial Committee issued a statement which was bad and not based on facts, but rather viewed matters from a single point of view, adding "afterwards a press conference was held in Doha on behalf of the Ministerial Committee which contained threats, justifications and contradictions."

The Minister said that the statement said that the dispute was over a single word which was incorrect as Syria had some misgivings about some Arab sides' interests which were made apparent in the press conference, stressing that the Syrian people do not accept submission and those who study Syria's modern history know how the Syrians dealt with Gouraud's ultimatum.

He pointed out that the conference accused Syria of stalling, noting that when they knew that Syria doesn't accept submission when said that the protocol cannot be amended, stressing that if they had been serious and didn't want to waste time then they would have accepted our suggestion to send a legal delegation to study the protocol with Syria which they did only recently and after a personal initiative from the Secretary General, an effort which took two days.

"So, we're not the ones responsible for wasting time… we don't want that, rather we seek the solution," al-Muallim said, explaining that they said that if Syria didn't sign then they would go to the Security Council and called for doing that in an upcoming meeting, adding "at least in the security Council there are international sides which we can hold dialogue with."

He said that what happened has no justification, and that it exposed the intentions of some Arab sides who showed premeditated intents to go to the Security Council, noting that this confirms what he said in previous conferences.

On whether the AL sanctions will be lifted after signing the protocol, the Minister said "the sanctions are supposed to be lifted, but we leave it to them and their keenness on the Syria people if they're honest, because they're the ones who imposed them.

Regarding whether the AL General Secretary will exceed the role of coordinator for the Ministerial Committee, al-Muallim said "I believe so… his conversation with me reassured me so I don't want to build upon what happened in the past.

In response on how the protocol preserves Syrian sovereignty and allows Syria to establish security, the Minister said that sovereignty is protected by the protocol's text and coordination with the Syrian government, in addition to Article 8 of the Arab League charter.

On the Russian draft resolution presented to the Security Council, he said that there's daily coordination with Russia whose stance hasn't changed.

Regarding the continuing media instigation and malicious intents towards Syria, al-Muallim said that media instigation is part of the plan and that it's a separate matter from the protocol which is meant to observe the situation in Syria, adding "there are many countries in the world that don't want to acknowledge the existence of armed terrorist groups… they will come and see that there are armed terrorist groups wreaking havoc in Syria, destroying gas and oil pipelines, attacking public and private establishments, in addition to abduction and murder.

"All of this they will witness with their own eyes, so we must never be afraid. It's important to me that no-one – whether Arab or foreign – ignores that Syria has national sovereignty," al-Muallim elaborated, stressing that the Syrian government is committed to the security and freedom of its people and to building a better Syria.

On whether there's a connection between signing the protocol and the Iraqi initiative, the Minister stressed that the signing is purely a national decision, and that other initiatives that can help resolve the issue are welcome as sincere Arab efforts.

Regarding reports on the presence of Libyan combatants in Syria who entered through Turkey, al-Muallim said that this is an issue for the military command.

To those who said that Syria signed the protocol to buy time and drown Arabs in details, he said that the protocol is limited to one month that can be extended to one more month, stressing that no one can be drowned by details.

On the Syrian leadership stance for the next stage, al-Muallim affirmed commitment to ending the current situation as soon as possible, noting that he's not in a position to set a schedule.

"We're facing pressure and economic sanctions, but I'm positive that we'll emerge better to build modern Syria. Those who wish to participate in that are welcome, and we must move beyond the stage of doubts to the stage of certainty. The Syrian leadership can only be with the Syrian people and it always makes the choice that preserves and protects their interests," he added.

The Minister stressed that there is no change in Russia's position, noting that Russia doesn't base its stances on sentiments but rather on meticulous study of its interests and stability in the region, adding "as for the Russian draft resolution, there's another arrangement regarding it which I can't disclose."

On whether the coming days will see visits by Arab envoys to Syria, he affirmed that Syria is open to whoever wants to come, saying "as for the AL delegation, they are coming to their second country… we will host and welcome them."

On Syrian-Turkish relations, al-Muallim said "the economic measures taken by our side came in response to the Turkish sanctions and the whole situation is temporary," he said, stressing keenness on the relations with the neighboring and friendly Turkish people.

al-Muallim added "over ten years, we worked hard to establish the best relations with Turkey and they damaged them… the Adana agreement is still in effect because of our keenness on preserving the Turkish people's blood… but we will defend our people."

The Minister congratulated the Iraqi people for the exiting of the US forces from their lands, lauding the Iraqi stances and noting that the visit of Iraqi envoys isn't related to the Arab Work Plan or the protocol.

In response to a question, al-Muallim said that 70% of the Syrian amendments to the protocol were approved.

Regarding the observer mission, he stressed that the mission will be free to go wherever they want and that the government will only inform them if an area is safe or not, and it's up to them whether they take a risk, affirming that their safety is guaranteed and that Syria won't allow a single drop of their blood to be shed.

He added that the security solution relies on the armed terrorists ceasing their acts of murder and abduction, while the political solution is based on national dialogue and reconciliation and is open to all national groups who are keen on Syria and its future and aren't aligned to foreign agendas, reiterating that some opposition figures abroad reject dialogue.

On the possibility of the mission being attacked by terrorists in hotspots, al-Muallim stressed that this wouldn't embarrass Syria but rather side, and that it would lend credibility to the fact that there are armed terrorist groups that nobody want to acknowledge.

Regarding the possibility of changes in some sides' stances after signing the protocol, the Minister said "I can't answer about the intents or stances of others, but there are those who say that Syria fears the presence of observers and doesn't want anyone to know what is happening, and there are those who say that there are no armed terrorist group and many things… so, the presence of the mission is a chance for them to see how the situation really is."

al-Muallim dismissed the possibility that the recent Saudi-Iranian meeting has any ramification on the situation in Syria, saying that this meeting probably discussed bilateral issues of concern to the two countries alone.

Regarding Syria allowing foreign journalists to cover the events in Syria after the distortion committed by the US channel ABC of their interview with President Bashar al-Assad, he said that on a matter of principles, journalists will be allowed to enter with the hope that that they will serve their honorable profession with objectivity.

On Syria's stance towards Arab intentions, the Minister noted that not all Arabs have the same intention and that the mission will include representatives of all Arab countries, and that it will conduct itself with professionalism, adding "what concerns us is that the mission will witness and relay the reality of what is happening… we're also interested in journalists relaying what is happening objectively, which some of them did… maybe they will do a good job instead of the lies of eyewitnesses we see."

Regarding the possibility of the Arab League reconsidering sanctions and the suspension of Syria's membership after signing the protocol, al-Muallim said that Syria wrote to the AL several times on this matter and received no response, saying "we don't entreat anyone… if they think that their sanctions will affect the steadfastness of the Syrian people then they are delusional… they imposed the sanctions and they will lift them, and we won't ask for it again."

He pointed out that the Syrian coordination committee is formed through Syrian decision and that it will contain legal, security and military experts tasked with coordinating work with the mission on daily basis, and that it has no other function at all.

On whether the AL is now a partner in resolving the Syrian crisis, the Minister said "I wish that this is the situation and that they would help resolve the Syrian crisis rather than be a burden on it."

Regarding rumors that the protocol allows opposition figures to accompany the mission, he said that the draft contained no such article; rather it permits the mission to contact any opposition figure they want, adding that those who accompany the mission will be the protection provided by the Ministry of Interior.

On the AL sponsoring national dialogue in Damascus or Cairo, al-Muallim said that the protocol stipulates carrying out the first article of the Arab Work Plan, and that questions about the AL efforts should be directed to the League itself.

Regarding the controversy over the footage displayed in his previous press conference, the Minister said that the footage was genuine but wasn't presented well, stressing that what the media said about it isn't true, adding "if we wanted to show the full reality of the heinous acts committed by armed terrorist groups, many of you would faint."

Western Elite Wages Info-war to Justify Syria Invasion?
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=28209
by Prof. Igor Panarin
Global Research, December 14, 2011

Escalating tensions surrounding Syria are preparation for aggression. Writer and political scientist Igor Panarin believes that part of the British-American and Israeli elite is waging an information war to justify a military invasion of Syria.

In the article below, Panarin explains his view.

The mass protests that broke out in a number of Arab countries in 2011 were orchestrated from London, which essentially became their coordination center. The BBC and Qatar's supposedly-independent Al-Jazeera channel (which in reality is ideologically controlled by a part of the British-American elite) led the way in providing media support.

For instance, the BBC reports that an independent commission of UN human rights experts accused Syrian authorities of committing crimes against humanity as they dispersed anti-government protests. But French journalist Thierry Meyssan found out that the commission clearly fabricated the evidence they used in their investigation. For instance, according to the UN commission, Syrian security forces killed over 3,500 peaceful protesters.

But the figure is hardly credible, as it comes from a mysterious London-based human rights organization called Observatoire Syrien des Droits de l'Homme (OSDH) [Syrian Observatory of Human Rights - RT]. According to Meyssan, many of the 3,500 protesters supposedly killed by Syrian security forces are in fact alive and well. Their names, distributed by the OSDH, were in fact taken from the phonebook. Meyssan says an information war is being waged against Syria and that at least some of the footage distributed by Al-Jazeera is produced in special studios that reproduce the main squares of Syria's major cities. The same trick was used with Libya, when the footage of street fighting in Tripoli on August 23, 2011, was actually shot in Qatari studios, which opened a new chapter in information warfare.

The Syrian government recently banned iPhones to stop the propagation of lies among protesters. Some of the protesters still use banned smartphones to disseminate false reports, announce protest rallies and distribute anti-government materials using the "Syria Alone" application. The application, launched on November 18, was developed by British and US experts specifically to help the opposition coordinate their protests. Information warfare specialists use Syria Alone to publish anti-government materials and criticize the work of law enforcers. The Syrian authorities believe that by banning the iPhone they can stop misinformation from spreading. In addition to the US and the EU, the anti-Syrian coalition now includes the Arab League, which recently expelled Damascus and then introduced tough sanctions against Syria.

A part of the British-American elite is playing the leading role in media campaign against Syria, which is no surprise after their success in Libya, where their media attacks preceded NATO's direct military intervention. A similar strategy is now used against Syria.

For instance, the decision to suspend Syria's membership in the Arab League leads to further international isolation, which is clearly what the West wants to achieve. The Arab League first took a similar decision regarding Libya in late February, and then it recognized the NATO-backed Transitional National Council as the only legitimate body representing the people of Libya, in August. In other words, what we see today is the same scenario being reproduced in Syria, with the Western multinational elite launching a media attack against that country.

The Syrian army and police are facing a strong opponent, including foreign mercenaries. According to some sources, there are around 10,000 of them, mainly from Arab countries and Pakistan and Pashtuns from Afghanistan.

Russia's approach to the conflict in Syria radically differs from that of the United States and its allies. The Kremlin vetoed the UN Security Council resolution, which would have made it possible to repeat the Libyan scenario in Syria. Moscow is doing its best to avoid the escalation of the conflict, to prevent military intervention (among other things, by sending an aircraft carrier to the Mediterranean) and to establish a constructive peaceful dialogue.


'Russia will stop any attack against Iran'

Interview with Russian military expert, Vladimir Yevseyev

Russia will try to stop any military attack against Iran as the two countries have mutual interests and any attack against Tehran would also be a serious problem for Russia, a Russian military analyst tells Press TV.

Iranian Army's electronic warfare unit successfully brought down the US RQ-170 Sentinel stealth aircraft with minimal damage on Sunday, December 4, 2011. The aircraft was flying over the northeastern Iran city of Kashmar, some 225 kilometers (140 miles) away from the Afghan border.

Press TV has interviewed Vladimir Yevseyev, the director of the Russian Center for Socio-Political Studies, about the issue. What follows is a rough transcription of the interview:

Press TV: I need you to briefly introduce yourself: your name and your position.

Yevseysev: My name is Vladimir Yevseysev, I'm an independent military expert. I have military experience, I worked twenty years in the Soviet time in the Russian army. I served strategic missile troops.

I'm Lieutenant Colonel and retired and Doctor of technical sciences in ballistic. I served in the Defense Committee of Russian State Duma and I may speak about military questions because I have military experience.

I very often meet with American and Asian experts and we discuss this question. So I think it is a very good idea to discuss this question with you.

Press TV: A lot of people in the world, experts and even ordinary people who watched the pictures that Iran showed recently about the US drone, which was downed by Iran, in Eastern Iran, earlier this month, a lot of people said this was a very big achievement in military terms and in terms of political advantage that Iran gained by this.

What do you think, how much of an achievement this downing of the American drone was for Iran, militarily?

Yevseysev: I think Iran has serious achievements in the military field and you know that if you look at history, Soviet Union helps Iran in the military field and for example create tanks and Asian technical ground forces and during the Russian time we helped Iran.

And now Iran has a lot of its own achievements, for example unmanned vehicles, it is very serious achievements and missiles, also the strategic missile troops.

Iran has a lot of achievements if you speak about missiles and satellites in Asia. And [these] achievements are very serious and lots of people use it and Iran made another modern system and modern system for ground forces, for Navy.

Press TV: Try to focus on this recent achievement, Iran brought down an American unmanned aerial vehicle, the American drone, I'm talking about the RQ-170 American drone which was brought down by Iran recently.

Yevseysev: I think it is one of achievements because if Iran intercepts this vehicle, Iran has special tools for intercepting, because it is very difficult to intercept [a drone], because this American vehicles use stealth technologies. It is very difficult to find and it is very difficult to intercept. If Iran may intercept this vehicle, it is a very serious achievement.

And I think Iran has to use this technology for its own production and now Iran has the achievement of the production of unmanned vehicles. I think this American vehicle may be used for the development of Iranian vehicles.

So I think if Iran may intercept it, it was very good for its achievements and you know that America has special tools like this vehicle which it uses for collecting information about Iran and secret objects about Iranian nuclear objects.

So it is a bad idea because it is violation and invasion to the Iranian territory so Iran has the right to intercept it. And it was right for if you speak from military law, I agree with them.

Press TV: Do you think the American drone, the unmanned aerial vehicle was just collecting information about Iran or it might have gone even to areas like China and Russia, because these are the countries which are in the vicinity of the Afghan territory. Do you think they might have gone to Russia and China to collect information as well, using these very sophisticated drones?

Yevseysev: No, we received new opportunities for cooperation between Russia and China and Russia and Iran... Iran has cooperation with Russia and China.

So we may unite our activities because Iran is an important player in the Middle East and Iran influences the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan and some countries in Central Asia and in the Caucasus. The Nagorno-Karabakh problem is one of them.

So I think it is a good idea if Russia and China cooperate with Iran, when we want to solve any problem, regional problems at first and at the same time if there be for example a military attack against Tehran it will be a serious problem for Russia, because Caucasus and Central Asia are strategic regions for Russia.

And if the US creates a problem it will be bad for Russia so Russia will try to stop any military attack against Iranian nuclear program and Iranian nuclear objects.

We have mutual aims, the deterrence of military options against Tehran so we may cooperate and we have new opportunities for cooperation after the presidential election campaign in Russia. So I think we have to cooperate.

Press TV: Let's get back to the issue of the drone, the American drone which was brought down by Iran. Iran brought down the unmanned aerial vehicle in its Eastern regions.

A lot of people are saying that it is a stealth aircraft and a stealth aircraft means that you have to have a radar system in a country that you send a stealth aircraft to that country in order to evade radar systems.

Afghanistan does not have a radar system. Why does America need to have a stealth aircraft in Afghanistan, where there is no radar system?

Yevseysev: I think the US is using this situation now that American troops are deployed in Afghanistan and Americans use this territory for hidden secret information about Iranian objects, military objects.

These unmanned aerial vehicles are very comfortable for using, for collecting information. Because it is using stealth technology and it is made to fly on Iranian territory and flies very high, because unfortunately Iran now does not have the military tools for destroying the system. And American knew and used this for collecting information.

And it was a violation of International law to use this system in Iranian territory. So I think if the US is using this [in Iran] the US may [also] use it in another territory too, for example the US may use it in Iraq territory and launch this vehicle from Iraq, from Asia.

You know that the US has a lot of military bases in the Persian Gulf but it is a bad idea if the US may continue this policy of using these vehicles, because it is violation of international law.

So it is necessary to stop these activities, because it is provocation, provocative activities for the Iranian side. If the US provokes Iran, what should Iran do?

Iran has to reply to this provocation. And if there will be more and more provocation, it may become a military confrontation. So it is a bad step.

I think the US is using a lot of other tools for [spying] on Iran and it is a bad idea to use unmanned aerial vehicles. I think it is necessary to stop these activities.

Press TV: Do you think these American vehicles are also spying on Russia from Afghanistan, going all the way to reach the Russian territory and spying there?

Yevseysev: I think the US cannot use these tools on Russian territory but the US...

Press TV: What makes you say that?

Yevseysev: It is old, now it is impossible to use it. But the US has military bases in Manas, in Kyrgyz Republic and the US has a lot of airplanes with special equipments and these airplanes may be used for [obtaining] hidden information from the Russian side because it is not necessary to cross the border.

It is possible to fly and collect information from the territory in Central Asia, but [if they want to] collect information from Russian military objects, Russia will try to stop these activities.

I think it is necessary to prepare Russian troops for intercepting same unmanned aerial vehicles. Because if there will be more and more tensions maybe the US will try to use this system near Russian borders.

So Russia has to be ready to intercept it. And maybe Iranian experience will be interesting for Russia, like what to do if American vehicles cross the Russian border. So it is a good example for Russia what to do if they will be crossing its borders.

Press TV: Yeah, that's an interesting subject, Iranian experience to be used by Russia to intercept drones.

Yevseysev: I think it is necessary [for Russia] to use it. Because now Russia is very strong but Russian resources are less than the Soviet time.

So there is a limitation of resources. So for Russia it is a good idea to cooperate with other countries and you spoke about a mutual defense system.

I think it is good idea to create the system because it is necessary to defend, both the defense and deterrence from military activities.

You know that NATO invaded Libya. NATO thinks about invading Syria and NATO is using troops everywhere and if we have a collective system for deterrence, it will be good but not easy for Russia to create a system with Iran.

But sometimes we may cooperate for example on drug trafficking from Afghanistan. It is a very serious problem for Iran and for Russia too. And we have to cooperate to stop the traffic from Afghanistan and that is a good place for cooperation.

Press TV: You talked about drug trafficking in Afghanistan. For 10 years that we've seen the presence of American troops and the US-led troops in Afghanistan, they've been fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, they've been fighting militants of different groups but still we see drug production and drug trafficking in Afghanistan. It's still on the rise, why?

Do you think that foreign forces are responsible for the situation in terms of the drug trade from Afghanistan to other countries, Russia being one of the targets?

Yevseysev: It is possible to solve this problem, from the technical side and from the military side. You know that the US has used chemical [warfare] agents [disseminated] from airplanes in Afghanistan… But the US now supports these activities because the US wants to have no problem on Afghan territory.

Press TV: Who is responsible for the drug trade in Afghanistan now as we speak?

Yevseysev: I think we have to close the borders because unfortunately we cannot destroy this plantation on the Afghan territory and the US cannot help Russia.

Press TV: Do you think American forces are responsible for this because Afghanistan has been occupied by the US and its allies for over a decade now?

Do you think the US should have stopped this drug trade in Afghanistan, drug production and drug sales to other countries and the drug trafficking into other countries? Do you think the US should have played a more important role in this?

Yevseysev: I'm realistic and from my personal view it is a bad idea to think that the US will be helping, seriously helping. You know we sometimes cooperate on Afghanistan drug trafficking; [cooperation] between the US and Russia.

But really for the US this traffic is not a serious problem because drugs come to the US from other countries, from other regions, from Latin America. So it [Latin America] is a threat for the US.

So it is a [drug] trafficking problem for Russia and Iran but no serious problem for the US. So I think it is a bad idea to think that the US will seriously be helping. It is necessary for a country to cooperate who is involved, for them it is a serious problem.

Russia organized an operation channel, which is good for stopping [drug] traffic, and maybe we will have cooperation for stopping these activities in the Caspian Sea [region].

And we may cooperate in Central Asia, for example. You know that the Tajik Republic using for transportation. So I think we may cooperate but the US is no serious help.

Press TV: Well, actually I was trying to raise a different point, it doesn't matter. Listen, I am going to talk about the missile system that America is installing in Eastern Europe. How much of a threat is it to the Russian territorial integrity and national security?

Yevseysev: From the Russian view it is not necessary to create this system now. We have different views on these missiles threats. From Russian view Iran is no missile threat for Europe. If no threat why to create the system. And if it is possible to understand that the system create in Romania, maybe.

But why creating this system in Poland because in Poland [they] want to create a system to intercept no middle-range missiles. Now Iran only has middle-range missiles and the system in Poland wants to create a very high altitude.

It is a long distance missile. Iran doesn't have these missiles but Russia has. And if you are speaking about strategic deterrence, strategic stability, it is a necessary thing that if the US creates near Russian border any system, military system structures without speaking and cooperating with Russia about what they do.

Russia will think that it is a threat for Russia and Russia will try to reply because for Russia now the system in Romania is no threat, maybe a challenge. But in Poland it may be a threat because another system will be created. You know that missile FM3 will be made in Russia and it maybe intercept...

Press TV: Why is it that Russia thinks like this is a threat to its national security? As a military expert, tell me more about these missile systems. As far as I know they are both defensive and offensive. Tell me about the offensive part.

Yevseyev: I served this strategic missile troops and, you know, for example from …settlement in the Eastern part of Russia will be launch missiles and again if missiles will be launched against us from Poland, we have some opportunities for intercept it.

If you have opportunities for intercept, it is necessary to speak what to do, how to deterrence this challenge?

So for Russia, unfortunately now we haven't really basis for cooperation, because NATO is speaking about independent and ballistic missile system, it isn't really united with Russia.

And so if NATO will create an independent system accepting Russia, Russia have to deterrence and President Dmitry Medvedev did statement, the statement about this.

So I think it is Russia feeling a challenge. If Russia is feeling a challenge, Russia tries to deterrence, it is right of Russia. And Russia does not create system in other countries. Russia creates system only in its own territory.

And Russia created a system in Kaliningrad region, it is Russian territory [where it] may create the system. And the US creates system not in its own territory, [but] in Europe and near Russian border, Russia feeling a challenge.

Press TV: These systems, what is the most significant feature and is it like they can strike a certain place or are they just defensive? So if there is a missile coming in, they just intercept that missile.

But can they launch missiles as well? Can those systems, the US missile systems which are going to be installed in Eastern Europe, can they launch missiles as well?

Yevseyev: No, we speak only about opportunities for intercepting Russian missiles on Russian… and if you create a system, you know about, you are speaking only about ground system.

You know that the US has a very serious system navy. It is just a system for ruling, it is for control. It is very serious system if for example military ships from NATO, from USA coming to the North Ocean to the Russian border.

We may receive the opportunity to intercept not only missile, on the ground missile when we speak about navy missile and if this military ships come into North Ocean, it is impossible to speak that Iran is a threat for the US because it is impossible [to] understand how Iranian missile may fly.

That the US will intercept these missiles from the North Ocean, so Russia tried to stop creating this system and if Russia will be feeling challenge more and more and the feelings in the future will be creating new challenge and threat, Russia will have to reply, reply military reply.

One of them is system Iskander, one of them, but not only Russia has another opportunity for creating special system on missiles and for example …equipment which are impossible to intercept.

Russia has potential, Russia has opportunities for deterrence this American system, but unfortunately I cannot see any opportunities for cooperation in this ballistic missile system between Russia and USA. I think USA will be creating, no see on Russian view. If USA will be creating, Russia has to reply.

Press TV: Okay, let's talk about the political issues, the most important one being Syria as we speak, which involves a lot of regional countries. Do you think Turkey is trying to pave the ground for a NATO invasion of Syria?

Yevseyev: I think for Turkey is better to support NATO invasion. Now invasion from NATO to Syria is impossible, impossible because Russian military ships come into Syria. Now it is impossible to speak about NATO invasion.

At the same time, Turkey may be using from USA for this creating unstable situation in Syria and if Russia may stop the military invasion from NATO, Russia may stop activities at UN Security Council and use NATO for stopping. But Russia cannot involve in this situation in Syria if it will be unstable.

It is a matter of Syrian authorities. So Russia to help Syria but Russia cannot solve Syrian problem for Syria. It is necessary to do people from Syria, solve their own problem themselves.

So Russia creates background for military, background in this world that people from Damascus solving this problem. You know, not only Turkey helping radical opposition, France organizes its basis on Lebanon territory, so both sides are using against Syrian authorities.

Press TV: From the military point of view, do you think Turkey is also helping militants, gunmen in Syria, is providing them with weapons, money and logistical equipment?

Yevseyev: I think Turkey helped and you know that this people, this radical opposition coming from Turkey in return and you know that Syrian authorities take decision to direct missile against Turkey.

So I think Turkey is involved in this situation but it is bad because Turkey has very serious problems with Kurds, Kurds [who] live not only in Syria in Turkey to Syria's problem.

And now Kurds are independent, no involvement in this activities. If Kurds will be involved, it will be Syria's problem for Turkey at first. So I think for Turkey it is necessary to have stable state in the border.

Press TV: OK, let me put the question in simple terms. Now do you think Turkey is involved in the military operations inside Syria?

By military operations I mean the militants, gunmen attacking Syrian troops. Is Turkey involved in that? Is Turkey helping those militants?

Yevseyev: Now Turkey only helps but if situation will be unstable, if there will be a civil war on the Syrian territory, I think Turkey may [be] militarily involved.

Because if the situation will be very rough, Turkish troops may come in on the Syria's territory but it is really, if will be situation during this civil war.

Press TV: What kind of help is Turkey giving the militants? Is Turkey giving them guns, military equipment, moral support, what? What kind of help is Turkey providing for the militants in Syria?

Yevseyev: Unfortunately, I do not have information about military equipment, help or not but it is Turkey territory that is using this radical opposition stay and coming from Turkey territory. So if these people coming from Turkey territory, so Turkey helps.

[Whether they] give weapons or not, I do not have information and it is unclear for me. But you know that not only Turkey helps radical position, Saudi Arabia is very active and Qatar. So maybe other countries help and maybe give financial support to radical opposition.

You know that a lot of weapons come into Syria not from Turkey; coming from Iraq at first, and from Lebanon. So I think Turkey maybe gives no weapons. I do not have information because…

Press TV: So who is giving them weapons?

Yevseyev: No weapons, guns for example.

Press TV: Yes, who is giving them guns, they are fighting, they have guns, they have financial resources, they got equipment, they can fight a regular army of Syria. How can they do that? Who is giving them?

Yevseyev: I think that the majority of activities, if you speak about military weapons for radical opposition, it is Saudi Arabia and Qatar at first.

The USA maybe agree that no stopping. You know that in Syria a lot of people are Sunni, so it is a good idea for Saudi Arabia to support Sunni.

Press TV: Do you think Saudi Arabia and Qatar are providing militants in Syria with weapons?

Yevseyev: I think Saudi Arabia is more active than Turkey. If you speak about financial and military support of radical opposition, it is my personal view. But it is a very, very bad position because Saudi Arabia has a lot of problems too now very far from his border.

You know that the problem is Bahrain. And for example in east provincial of Saudi Arabia live Shiites and so if Syria will be helping very active in the way and trying to create unstable situation in other countries, it is maybe to receive problems of its own territory.

So it is a very bad position. It is necessary to think about future, not about interesting and about stopping, not for example for Syrians it is a very good idea if Tehran and Damascus will be stopping links. But it is unreal because Syria and Iran have a mutual interest and I think this link will become so in the future.

Press TV: Two more questions that I have, one of them regarding Iran's nuclear program. Why do you think that the US and the Western countries are putting so much pressure on Iran?

You as Russians, you have said that Iran is not seeking a military dimension to its nuclear program. Iran is developing a purely peaceful nuclear energy program. This is what Russia is saying as we speak.

So why is it that the West is really trying to create this international media frenzy against Iran?

Yevseyev: We have different view from Russia from the West on the Iranian nuclear program. In the West the majority of experts think that Iran has already took a decision to create nuclear weapons. This is the majority view, for Israel and USA.

Russian authorities, Russian majority, Russian experts think Iran did not take this decision. If Iran does not take decision, did not take decision we may cooperate with Iran because only after taking this decision it is possible to speak about a military nuclear program.

We have a different view about the future [of] Iran's nuclear program because unfortunately from economical basis, it is unclear what to do, some decision for example.

Iran collects more and more 20 degrees hexafluoride for research reactor. It is a right of Tehran, right of Iran to create because it is necessary to receive the fuel for Tehran research reactor.

But Iran doesn't have enough objects for this nuclear fuel but it is production nuclear fuel only one side. It is necessary for certification.

So I think Russia has to help Iran to this certification. But in my view, if you speak… to Iranian nuclear program, it is a bad idea to hide.

We have time for cooperation and if we try to use it, you know about Plan Lavrov. Plan Lavrov will be used speaking about… nuclear problem, activities for activities. For example Iran step, from the West step, step from both sides.

It is understandable for Iran, it is understandable for the West and unfortunately now it is impossible to realize plan of Lavrov because it is bad background.

The latest report from IAEA was very tough and a lot of information pushing the West on new sanctions, but Russia is against new sanctions.

For Russian view it is enough. What should be done? Western military experts think it is necessary to change authorities in Iran. It is a bad idea. What do you want to solve? You want to solve Iranian nuclear program or you want to change Iranian authorities?

These are separate aims. It is impossible at one time to solve two aims, very different aims. Iranian nuclear program, if you create question, it is necessary to solve this question.

But if you want to solve this question, it is necessary to come in from both sides and find the opportunities to find this problem. But if you said time to think about solving this Iranian nuclear program, think about how to change Iranian authorities- it is a bad idea.

Because Iran is an independent country. And people in Iran think who will be their head of Iran. [It is a] bad idea to involve [in the issue] from Washington, from London, from Brussels.

For example people of Washington agree what to do in Russia this election. It is right of people from Russia to create these authorities, to vote for authorities, to support the authorities, it is right of Russia.

But I talked about rights of Iranian people so it is necessary to think what the aim of activities is. If you want to solve Iranian nuclear program it is necessary to speak only about Iranian nuclear program not speaking about supporting Iran opposition for example, illegal revolution,military options, it is different aims.

Press TV: And one last question about Israeli threats against Iran. Israel says that it is putting the option on the table to attack Iran's nuclear installations, in order to prevent Iran from what they say achieving nuclear weapons capability.

Do you think Israel is in a position to do that, to attack Iran militarily?

Yevseyev: Unfortunately situation if you speak about military options from Israel the situation is very, very tough because now Iran is not a threat for Israel if you speak about nuclear missiles- no threat really.

Military experts may speak that no really threat. But Israel may think before taking the decision of a military option, not to think about real threat or no threat.

Israel may think about how the situation Israel parliamentary election in Asia. If Israel thinks about these problems and take decision on the basis of these reasons, but no real threats.

Israel may take decision and this decision, it is real because Israel has plans for attack to Iran. Israel prepared the troops for attack but now it is a bad time for attack.

I spoke a lot with Israel officials and tried to stop them and tried [to tell them] not to hurry. We may solve this problem by peaceful [means] but unfortunately now control from Washington on Tel Aviv is not very strong because Tel Aviv may take decision [without US approval].

Now you know that the USA has a presidential election campaign but Israel may take decision [without considering the approval of] Washington but after then Washington will be have to ask what to do after that if Israel attacks [Iran].

Israel doesn't have enough potential for destroying Iran, maybe Israel attacks on Iran nuclear objects, maybe.

Press TV: But Israel does have nuclear weapons, doesn't it?

Yevseyev: Israel has, Israel hasnuclear weapons but I think Israel cannot use nuclear weapons against Iran. It is very… Israel has but no using weapons against Iran but Israel may not use nuclear weapons, maybe airplane and Israel training a lot of training in Europe for example to attack.

And so I think now military option is on the table- it is really. The decisions will not be taken in Washington.The decision will be taken in Tel Aviv.

It is difficult to control the situation from international society. So it is necessary to speak with people from Tel Aviv so no hurry. It is no hurry and find another way.

In my personal view now Israel is not ready to attack Iran and I think that Israel will be using another tool, no military attack and it is my personal view and I think it will be a more real focus if you speak about the developing situation.

After then situation will be changing, what will be the cooperation and relationship between Israel and Egypt in the future? You know that on presidential election campaign the Muslim Brotherhood is getting more and more [votes].

What will the situation be If Israel will have problems from Egypt, form Lebanon, from Palestine, and maybe a lot of problems, maybe from Iran.

Press TV: This is going to be the last question, I promise. S-300 missile systems- [Russian President] Dmitry Medvedev did not give us the S-300. Do you think [Russian Prime Minister] Vladimir Putin would do that?

Yevseysev: I think for Vladimir Putin it will be a bad idea to delete the decision with Medvedev because Vladimir Putin like the president of the Russian Federation has to continue to realize the policy of the Russian Federation.

And for Russian policies it is not typical that another president changes his view- has a very serious change of view on this equation. But, I think that Dmitry Medvedev talked about system S-300.

If Russia creates another system- a more modern system, Russia may create because UN Security Council resolution 1929 does not deny Iran from buying this system.

Press TV: So, why is it that Russia didn't give us the system?

Yevseysev: You know that now Russia has for example system S-400 and the decision of Dmitry Medvedev. Medvedev speaks only about system S-300.

Press TV: Why? What's the difference? What's the difference- [S] 300, 400, 500- Iran paid a lot of money. Iran wanted to but this. There was this contract. Iran signed the contract; Russia signed the contract according to international rules and regulations.

Yevseysev: I think it is impossible to realize this contract now, but we may change contracts and realize this contract, for example S-400. If you speak really from military side, S-400 does not have any serious difference from S-300. It is a modernization of S-300.

Press TV: Is it because of the sanctions that S-300 was not delivered to Iran? It was like [US] President Obama calling President Medvedev- President Medvedev don't give them the S-300 missiles system.

President Medvedev: Thank you very much I will do that- that's exactly what happened. Isn't it?

Yevseysev: For Russian authorities it was a very difficult question- the realization of this contract and several months Russian authorities thought about whether to realize it or not.

I think it was necessary to realize this contract after signing it. It was a good time for realizing it. Now it is impossible to realize, because if Vladimir Putin wants to realize the contract, in my personal view it is better to change contracts- speak about system S-400.

S-400 does not deny with UN Security Council resolution. S-400 no speaking about decision of Dmitry Medvedev. We might find another path to solve this problem and it was a good step to Iran, because the system is good for Iran. Because Iran has real challenge from Israel- military options from Israel.

And this system cannot defend Iran from the US, because the US has very serious potential and this system cannot defend Iran from the US. But it is a serious problem for Israel attack.

Now it is a bad idea to think that the US will begin an attack before Israel. Now more real scenario if Israel attacks, if Iran has the S-400 system it will stop it- stop any activities from Israel side because the distance between Israel and Iran is long and Iran has a lot of nuclear objects and defends these objects.

So add to these if Iran will receive the S-400 system, it will deter Israel and I think it will be important because now military options [are] more really from Israel side than from American side.


الجعفري: مشروع القرار الروسي خطوة بالاتجاه الصحيح
Jaafari: Russian draft resolution step in the right direction
http://www.aksalser.com/index.php?page=view_news&id=bc935d11ec7acfba11bde56b01e5b6b2&ar=423910502
Sunday - December 18 - 2011 - 14:23:23

In light of expectations of arduous negotiations between the major powers on the Russian draft resolution on Syria condemns violence from all sides, called on Western countries, Russia to introduce amendments "so that it becomes acceptable" for them, while the representative of Syria Bashar al-Jaafari describes the Security Council draft resolution as a step in the right direction.

The news channel "Russia Today" spokeswoman for the U.S. State of Victoria Nuland as saying that her country considered the draft resolution "good news", but however, "We are not prepared to accept it in its current form," and what appeared consistent with Qatar's foreign minister said Noland said Washington wanted "to include the project the resolution demands of the Arab League, "which is the same as that mentioned Hamad bin Jassem.

He described the Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Ocahevch draft resolution as "objective", stressing that it may not be the interpretation of any provision of it as a call to intervene in the internal Syrian affairs.

Russia put forward a draft resolution to the Security Council, in a move seen by many analysts as a surprise, while others went as meaning that the change Russia's position of Syria as to block the adoption of draft resolutions Western against Damascus, but observers playing down the move, noting that it is not new. It also portrays other, Russia and China already ahead of the Security Council a few months ago a similar draft resolution.

The delegate of Russia to the United Nations Vitaly Churkin said that he had to submit a revised text based on an earlier draft submitted by Russia and China a few months ago did not bother him Western countries, indicating that he will not call for negotiations before next Monday.

And demands that the new text to stop the violence from all sides ", including the excessive use of force by the Syrian authorities," and expresses concern about "D-armed groups in Syria with weapons illegally," a point that was objected to by Westerners strongly in Moscow confirmed that it will not back down on "condemn violence from whatever source derived."

The draft resolution stresses that the only solution is through the political process, Syria, comprehensive, and urges the Syrian government to initiate prompt, independent and impartial, while urging opposition groups to distance themselves from extremists and encourages them to enter without preconditions into a political dialogue with the authorities.

In contrast to welcome the U.S., he saw the French ambassador at the United Nations Gerard Arrow, the step taken by Russia "maneuver," adding that the text was "unbalanced and hollow," and added: "The text must be included by the many amendments," according to the French Agency.

He received the Russian text to support a number of countries, including India, said Indian Ambassador Hardeep Singh Puri, "we have already said we will support this kind of decision."


Chinese delegation Starts Visit to Syria to Inspect Reality of Events… Foreign Forces Want to Pressure Syria
http://www.sana.sy/eng/337/2011/12/18/389122.htm
Dec 18, 2011

DAMASCUS, (SANA) – A Chinese delegation comprises 18 academicians, journalists and intellectuals on Sunday started a field visit to Syria to inspect the reality of the situation in the country.

In statements to SANA, a professor from Chinese Academy for Social Sciences Chen Chiadon said that his country's stance is firm towards Syria, adding that he is paying a visit to the country to inspect the reality of the events taking place.

He added that the Syrian-Chinese relations serve the interests of the two friendly peoples ,referring to various mutual investments.

"We believe in the importance of developing relations through establishing joint projects in order to help Syria overcome the crisis and that would also enhance openness to the world," he pointed out.

For her part, a journalist from Chinese Twenty First Century Business Herald Newspaper Yu Mengsaid that she came to Syria to check the reality of the incidents in this country, which is an ancient hub of civilizations and lies on a significant trade position along the history being on the Silk Road.

" I did not hesitate to come because I do not believe what is being broadcast in the Western media, for I watched Chinese and some western media and saw contradiction and the big difference between the two sides' news stories … I know that foreign forces want to pressure Syria and stir the situation," she added.


Oui, il y a bien un « scandale », M. Araud !
Axe Atlantique

An excellent analysis of the "benefit" (sic) * Gerard Araud HMV at the UN ...
* HMV His Master's Voice (the voice of his master).

Sarkozy of France, that is to say, Atlanticist, offered an effective forum, Monday, December 12, within the confines of the United Nations in New York. The local representative of the Elysee, Gerard Araud, already known for his anti-Syrian activist, was violently attacked by the Security Council, or rather that Council members opposing the vote on a resolution against Damascus, that the nations of the BRICS "It is outrageous that the Council cried Gerard Araud, due to opposition from some members and because of the indifference of others, could not act to put pressure on the Syrian authorities". And the French ambassador to the UN Security Council accused of being "morally responsible for what happens in Syria".

The Zola of the poor and the Atlantic

If the names of "opponents" are known, we would like Gérard Araud precise identity of the "indifferent". The least we can say is that our man - finally that of Sarkozy and therefore Americans - is not happy: no way to get from Russia, China, India, Brazil and of South Africa they let pass a resolution - French so often - that allows the international condemnation of Damascus, and thus creates the conditions for military intervention to overthrow own "the Libyan" the government of Damascus, and then replace it with a Western-Islamic power compatible. We must recognize that it is annoying!

Failing to get "his" war, Gerard Araud has donned the costume of Zola "J'accuse": it's always "type". That said, there is still a point on which we meet, Mr. Araud and we Infosyrie others: there is indeed something "outrageous" in all of this Syrian.

-It is outrageous that a country - France's Sarkozy / Juppé / Araud - which has always, until the last minute, supported Ben Ali and Mubarak has played a few months the friends of liberty, gender human, and the "Arab street"!

-It is outrageous that the same country did not devote a tenth of its diplomatic efforts and its effect oratories about Syria to denounce the continued colonization and cynicism of the Israeli government alone, nor stigmatized "Operation Cast Lead "against the Gaza Strip (Gaza and the blockade of which is the object)!

-It is outrageous that this country - which was once, in ancient times and Gaullists, a respected voice in the Arab world - now only aspires to be the "best student in the class NATO," and has been at the forefront of civil war, a coup and a political assassination in Libya. This post - and this is a scandal in the scandal - that Sarkozy has authorized a Qaddafi pitched his tent in the gardens of the Elysee.

But, puisqu'Araud talks about Syria, it is even more scandalous that France is playing so hard his score in the U.S. plan to destabilize Syria and the Middle East. Outrageous lie of Stalinist manner as the popular support still, after nine months of crisis, the Syrian, Islamist militant groups on pro-Turkish or pro-Qatari and killings which they hold accountable, the terror that it establish daily Homs and Hama; scandalous to pretend that historic reforms were not undertaken in Syria since the summer to spend the outrageous Christian community in Syria to "profit and loss" of history, as that was the case for the Iraq ...

Outrageous, yet, in fact, want to repeat against Syria, which was made against Iraq less than ten years, using the same false propaganda of state and media, using the same large and fake strings ( the people slaughtered, children killed, raped, their front-parents, lesbians persecuted, deserters, people etc). Share your thoughts on this country, are so outrageous, Gerard Araud, they feel very strong handling, they sound American!

Besides, is not it typically American - and morally outrageous - to disguise its geostrategic conducted a crusade for human rights, for democracy? You think and speak American, as your boss, Mr. Araud. Up your words and your thoughts, we must each time translated into French!

When we talked earlier about the Arab spring is not only the title of the series starring men and NATO officers, and directors in Washington, London and Paris, and the tools were not only the local elements, mercenaries, and production of oil states that have not Tsbha infection such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia and others.

After the episode Libya began talking about the episode and the Syrian seems this time that the hero was nominated for another role in another country, Abdul Hakim Belhadj, the commander of the Military Council in Tripoli, where she was a Russian newspaper and other British and Australian talked about his presence in Turkey and his willingness to step in and awaited the zero hour of the incursion into Syria to fall back scenario, cities and regions, which was carried out in Libya.

In the first guide-west of its kind in the presence of Libyans from the "Al Qaeda" terrorist attack on Syrian territory, and specifically in the area of ​​"mountain corner" Idlib province, revealed reporter "ABC" right-wing Spanish, Daniel Aaraartah, he met the militants in person after "infiltration" into the region in question.

The journalist said the Spanish in his report published today in the newspaper, the oldest Spanish newspaper and the third in terms of distribution and the first terms of reference documentation, he met three armed Libyan workers with Abdul Hakim Belhadj, head of the military in Tripoli, and that there are dozens of others others managed to enter Syria to work with so-called "free the Syrian army." Aaraartah revealed that one of these three is the commander of the Mehdi Harati, "the banner of Tripoli" in Libya, formed by the armed fundamentalists belonging to "Al Qaeda" in North Africa. The second is the Libyan armed Kikla Adam, who told the Spanish press that he "was working with Abdul Hakim Belhadj twenty years ago in Britain." The third person, he knew himself as "Fuad", a bodyguard for them.

And transfer from the Spanish press as saying by the three "truth" they came "to evaluate the needs of the" mujahideen Syrians. And draws attention to the Spanish press that the three, especially the Mehdi Harati "They were at the head of the group trained by the country experts and played a key role in the process of" liberation "of the Libyan capital of Qaddafi's troops.

In this context, two things are very important:

The first is that the channel "Al Jazeera" was aired on a tape yesterday shows fighters from the elements of "Al Qaeda" in the "Mountain of the corner," but avoided what he called it, and deliberately designated as "fighters of the Syrian army's free!" According to various sources, the channel "Al Jazeera", which holds the marketing of Islamic fundamentalists everywhere in the world, on the grounds that Qatar is one of the finances of these (called today officially involving the "Taliban" in Afghanistan rule!), But wanted to at this stage to avoid signal to the background of fundamentalism of these fighters, although a number of Western newspapers (and we are much earlier), she noted that "the Syrian army free" is not in fact a front fake rally behind various forms of fundamentalist organizations, including the "guerrilla group, the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood ", according to a French official source confirmed two months ago, the newspaper" Le Figaro "!

The second is that the Irish police were revealed last month that the Mehdi Harati, who holds Irish citizenship, too, is an agent of the CIA, and was the transfer of money from them to the insurgents, "Al Qaeda" in Libya, who participated in the "liberation" of the Libyan capital of the forces Gaddafi. The discovery by chance while the "thieves" raided his home in the Irish capital, "Dublin" during his stay in Libya, where they stole more than a quarter of a million euros had been kept at his home. Upon investigation with him and his wife, confessed that he kept this money for himself out of a huge sum of money and the cost of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency transferred him to Libya to finance the fundamentalists who are fighting against the regime of Gaddafi!

Suffice it here to the newspaper, "Krasnaya Zvezda" Russian had said earlier that "the commander of the Military Council in Tripoli, Abdel Hakim Belhadj is at the head of a battalion of the Libyan large expected zero hour at the Turkish border, the Syrian incursion into Syrian territory, in coordination with the Syrian army free dissident the regular army in an attempt to repeat the scenario in Syria, Libya, and control of the towns and cities, one after the other. "

As well as the Sydney Morning Herald, one of the major Australian newspaper, was also written in one of their number to the current transitional in Libya has held meetings with representatives of the Board of Istanbul in the cities of Ankara and Istanbul during the last period to discuss the Council's request to Istanbul from the support is money and weapons, according sources for the newspaper, the transitional Council does not agree, according to supply insurgents in Syria with weapons and gear, and training and funding, but went on to introduce send volunteers to fight alongside "brothers" in Syria. These requests may be made by the representatives of the Council of Istanbul with visit to Libya earlier, on the other sources in the city of Misurata that the arms shipments are probably on their way to Syria, Vmasrath which has become a key market for illegal weapons in Africa, where teeming with dealers arms and drug traffickers witnessing presence daily to Syrian people are buying large quantities of weapons and collecting donations to send to Syria.

玄葉外務大臣は、アメリカのクリントン国務長官と日米外相会談を行うため、18日昼前、成田空港からワシントンへ出発しました。

玄葉外務大臣は、日本時間の18日から21日までの日程で、就任後初めてワシントンを訪問することにしていて、午前11時半すぎに成田空港を出発しました。日本時間の20日未明に予定されているクリントン国務長官との日米外相会談で、玄葉大臣は、核開発を続けるイランに対する制裁措置として、イランの中央銀行と外国の金融機関との取り引きをできなくすることを目指すアメリカの法案について、日本経済に影響を与える可能性が大きいとして、懸念を伝えることにしています。また、沖縄のアメリカ軍普天間基地の移設問題について、名護市辺野古に移設するとした日米合意の実現を目指す立場に変わりはないとして、移設の前提となる環境影響評価書を年内に沖縄県に提出する方針を伝えることにしています。このほか、玄葉大臣は、滞在中、カーク通商代表と会談し、TPP=環太平洋パートナーシップ協定の交渉参加国との協議に向けて、政府内で準備を進めている現状や、アメリカ産牛肉の輸入規制の緩和に向けた検討状況について、説明することにしています。


Japan and South Korea oppose to the strengthening the US sanctions against Iran
対イラン独自制裁の強化に反対する日本と韓国

最近、アメリカ連邦議会で対イラン制裁強化法案が可決されましたが、これに対し日本と韓国が反旗を翻しています。これについて、IRIBザヒーリー解説員の報告です。

日本の玄葉外務大臣は、アメリカ議会の最近の対イラン法案可決がもたらす結果について警告し、「今回可決された法案は、世界経済に打撃を与えるだろう」と語りました。玄葉大臣は17日土曜、東京で記者らに対し、この事柄への懸念を示すとともに、「対イラン制裁の強化は、世界経済に甚大な悪影響を及ぼしかねない」と述べています。

さらに、「日本政府は、イランに関する問題を注意深く見守っており、イランとの良好な友好関係を維持すべく、外交ルートによる解決法を模索している」としました。

アメリカ連邦議会は最近、イランに対する制裁法案を可決しましたが、この中にはイラン中央銀行や石油部門に対する制裁が盛り込まれており、この法案はアメリカのオバマ大統領による署名を受けた後、実施されることになります。

もっとも、オバマ政権はこの法案がアメリカの外交政策にもたらす結果と、アメリカの同盟国を失うことを、非常に懸念しています。このため、対イラン制裁を本格的に実行する国については、この法案の適用外とする、という条項が盛り込まれています。

このようにして、日本や韓国といった国は、これまで通り引き続き、イランから原油を輸入できることになりました。この両国は、アジアにおけるアメリカの同盟国と見なされる一方で、自国の原油の需要量全体の10%を、イランから輸入しています。

さらに、対イラン制裁の強化への反対が続く中で、ロシアとインドの首脳らもアメリカによる対イラン独自制裁への反対を強調しています。

ロシアのメドベージェフ大統領と、インドのシン首相は16日金曜、ロシア大統領府での協議終了にあたって声明を発表し、対イラン独自制裁は無駄であり、失敗に終わるだろうとし、「ロシアとインドは、話し合いによるイラン核問題の解決を支持する」と表明しています。

これに先立ち、ロシア外務省のルカシェビッチ報道官は、アメリカが発動する対イラン独自制裁に反対すると共に、「制裁や圧力を強化することは、イラン核問題の正しい解決策ではない」と述べました。

中国外務省報道官も最近、他国に対する一方的な制裁の行使は、中国の法律に反すると表明しています。

ある中国人の専門家は、「イランは、中国にとって最も重要な原油の供給源であるため、中国はアメリカからの対イラン制裁行使勧告を、決して実行しないだろう」と語りました。

評論家の間では、イラン産原油への禁輸制裁は、アメリカのみならず、アメリカの同盟諸国や同国にとっての貿易相手国にも悪影響を及ぼし、結局はアメリカの敗北に終わるだろうと見られています。

こうした現状のもと、政治アナリストらの見解では、アメリカは失業者の増加や金融危機、ウォール街占拠運動といった、国内外の問題から逃避するために小細工をろうし、制裁の強化と、イラン産原油への禁輸制裁の舞台に足を踏み入れるという挑発行為によって、最低でもこの件に関しては、オバマ大統領の反対派に歩調を合わせることで、来年のアメリカ大統領選挙で、あわよくば再選を狙う足がかりを築こうとしているのです。
