it seems close to recognizing going to the council how will syria respond to explains. i don't want to get ahead of events but turkey knows the scope of syrian turkish relations we signed fifty intergovernmental agreements followed by growth in trade and cultural exchange the end goal is to establish strategic relations between the two countries we have been working towards this which in practice means that citizens of both countries can visit each other under a visa for the regime hopefully we won't go as far as to destroy the results of all our efforts over the last ten years. by us jani. could we move to a different subject now to damascus any preconditions before agreeing to receive palestinian prisoners it's known of the west has been putting pressure on syria for hosting the hamas leadership did syria lay out any specific conditions before agreeing to receive palestinians released from israeli jails. first and we have to remember that syria has been part of the palestinian issue we handed over the golan heights in attempting to resolve the issue it's impossible to

and the woman promoted by western media as a victim of bush are also its regime in syria says she's alive and well raising concerns that fabricated stories are being used in a bid to topple the country's leadership. now it's the view from inside syria from someone who has the president's ear as he talks to his political and press advisor about the beleaguered country's situation. as they were leaving the this is the third time that the security council has failed to adopt a resolution criticizing syria as russia and china use their powers of veto joining us today to discuss this and the general situation in the country is political and media advisor to syria's president talked about saying a shotgun mr ban welcome to our program party is that the position taken by russia and this includes council to block the resolution criticizing syria what information did syrian authorities give russia to support its position i will and we welcome the positions taken by russia and china and their use of the veto in the interests of syria and its people the information provided was just about the realit

and syria acts if you are as a ground zero is. this really if you should solution in syria the depressed state and israel see it from going to shift. in the middle east because. one of the ironies of the constitution. is one of the states is required for us. to is iraq is restasis we're school she hears you. hung around the ironically saddam hussein. who simply decides. that we shouldn't. mess was to bill's a disappear and are really clear the people who are as toast of the bush of us as she was from the world or so the fundamentalists who see him as a critic. so there's a litigious. war who are treating shiites the us and so it's only her. who says cheers strategic a between her states this now is for competing with food groups not only of syria but also over iraq so there's a huge kristen's between trichords right now there are some that are drawing parallels there between the were in some way or another between iraq and syria what about the question of libya if indeed there was a regime change in syria could we see what's happe

syria that they've got to have a good alternative proposition if regime change is to be. not only credible but to happen without massive bloodshed and destruction so the pressure is on the various. aspects of the opposition to come together and form in terms of proposition so you think that the opposition in syria is less organized and cohesive than it is in there it's much more complicated certainly. because whereas in libya you have an opposition that is has come together to fight a military campaign in syria you have an opposition. that is come together behind calls for peaceful demonstrations with the sole aim of. of removing the regime but that has not required the same sort of coordination that the opposition has had to acquire in in libya and what do you think of me down from the outside since specifically we've already seen the e.u. in haste oil embargoes on syria with threats of further access the situation doesn't create that what form do you think they saxons could take in and who do you think that effect and they depends what the sanctions are i would hope tha
