talk a bit about nato expansion georgia well some people within the nato i know would like to see georgia is a nato member what do you think today prevents georgia from becoming a later member except that russia is against us. well with all due respect to russia but you know we take those decisions ourselves but of course every every every single point is taken become because at the end of the day and largely that's why we call it an open door and. like policy it's not about creating difficulties for nato and it's about you know a responding to to the sovereign wishes sort of speak of european country that's article ten of the washing treaty and secondly the decision in principle that we would like to suggest has been taking requests. however a country hardly ever enters nato just like that you have to go along but. mechanism to consider the members i mean russian point of view in in the process of. accepting the new country engine into nato not well meaning that you said you think this is yourself but i mean nobody would believe in a real world and of all the views of various countries m

does this mean that georgia will soon become a nato member and we should really ask nato of course but what do you think i just here would need to official say they say that the door for georgia to join nato is not closed and we should we think any mechanical expansion of this military alliance that was in violation of the understanding where you can we used to have about nato expansion in the one nine hundred eighty s. but you would be counterproductive. in the case of georgia with these speeds. and this is not just russia's position this is a point of view shared by all members states by it. so i think these developments with regard to georgia can only exit all the negative trends in the former post soviet territory. let's not put an actual. practical of the same thing recently he met with the troops just a couple days ago and he said it i quote expansion of nato operations so those are a threat to our territory and we need to neutralize these routes. what are these threats to our territory that wouldn't talks about just one thing somebody may seize our territory you know how do you

though the nato nato forces don't look like they are interested in syria at least overtly right now but it's kind of an interesting situation to be in because you can be responsible and i think personally turkey has been responsible. definitely should be you know one of the reasons turkey is more confident i mean you know turkey has been weak not so more than half a century. you know it has been. you know cold war later on but it comes to you know. benefit from not so i don't know how many times turkey benefits from lots of the current situation. will follow on members of the. u.s. and the obama administration's policies i mean you can see you know not to. for us every other day he you know comes out not you know has no interest whatsoever to intervene in syria every other day i mean i don't. really organisationally don't see a treaty organisation garrett what about this i mean if turkey wants to have greater influence in the region can it stay a member of nato because if it stays a member of nato it looks like it's a kind went of washington absolutely i think this is a major dilemm

and nato involvement u.s. involvement circulate a little bit later in afghanistan which makes it the longest war in the history of the united states it's also the longest war in the history of afghanistan. and that precious little has been accomplished on the boss of sons of course for the western military intervention in our the patient in afghanistan. most or you know arguably the only accomplishment dubious as it is as i don't be in production of sky rocketed under the watch of the u.s. and nato in afghanistan but in terms of achieving any of the objectives that. the west claimed they they were going to accomplish in afghanistan it's been a signal failure of the tragedy for the go down be. now i mean we've seen relations between the u.s. and afghanistan that you voting in the cost few months with dozens foreign soldiers killed in a so-called inside at what's false the local chiefs to turn their guns against their mentors so to say. you know evidently the afghan people are not on developing foreign boots on

or nato countries? >> yeah, we have no intention to intervene militarily. of course we stand ready to protect and defend turkey as an ally should it be needed. but i do believe the right way forward in syria is a political solution. in that respect it is strongly regretble that the u.n. security council has failed so far to agree on a legally binding resolution on syria. >> rose: do you have suggestions for them as to how they can get china and russia on board? >> some months ago an international so-called action group had a meeting in geneva. >> rose: right. >> that group also included russia. >> rose: right. >> from that meeting, a communique was issued that clearly stated that a transition process should be initiated in syria. towards democracy. >> rose: without condition? in other words, nothing has to happen because, as you know, the rebels are demanding assad has to leave. >> yeah. >> rose: and they're not willing apparently, to have much political conversations until that happens. >> yeah, but my

nato means nato stands for north atlantic treaty organization does afghanistan border the atlantic region nato has become a military alliance which is trying to impose its rules on the entire planet france has always been known to stand up to empires men on again let's not change the subject completely. provocative low budget u.s. made movie insulting islam has provoked into western protests throughout community all around the globe france is home to the biggest muslim community in the western europe around five million people is there anything here that they too could be inflamed ripples. i think that it's quite possible that some french muslims are shocked and rightly so i believe most of them are shocked i don't. it can lead to mass demonstrations though but since you mentioned it i'd like to elaborate on the issue personally i'm shocked that in western philosophy there's a will to confuse freedom of expression with obvious insults to other religions i think this is all part of the course that i disapprove of it's not only about islam you know what happened in russia with the widely co

and pro nato and libyan rebel narrative of so-called libyan revolution by a sizable information that was just totally demolished that but also then you have missed the account of the head of the i.c.c. who is a very strange figure who again mainstream figures are pointing the finger at him but he has more the interest of nato and the nato government in libya and he does his own staff members remember back in june melinda taylor who was the i.c.c. appointed defense for saif al islam was centers in town of herself and for other people who were held by byzantine militia and i. a former u.n. caustic you thought rwanda and yugoslavia so no no no big fan of the independence movement or sort of the global south at himself that this was a kidnapping but it in tiny militia i mean the ocampo has more interest i mean a company apologize on behalf of a colleague here nothing to apologize for which some of that i think that's a very bad precedent because it allows countries who are who have people who are going to be quiet but i could see to interact in this way but that's not the case because ac

i do not think nato is interested in getting involved. all members of nato are fully aware that the civil war in syria it is very complex. it is not very easy to foresee which side is going to win this war. there is no need a country interested in being drawn into -- no nato country interested in being drawn into a protracted war in syria. for now, everything will calm down. as long as the syrians are killing each other, it is all right by the nato perspective. nobody is interested in seeing our regional conflict involving -- seeing a regional conflict evolving. >> reports say that an attack has killed 21 members of an elite military unit in syria. fighting continues elsewhere in the country. >> army shelling and helicopter gun fire killed 16 civilians and rebel-held village in the central hama province. in aleppo, a series of bombings targeted government forces that left dozens dead. >> on to other news, german chancellor angela merkel has held talks with the mn's president in berlin -- with the men -- with yemen's president in berlin. m
