ATHENS, Feb. 23 – RIA Novosti, Gennady Melnik The settlement process in Syria will be long, but now the fate of the country is largely decided on the battlefield, according to the historian, senior researcher at the Center of Arab Studies at the Institute of Oriental Studies. Russian Academy of Sciences Boris Dolgov.
the reason for the Syrian crisis was the fact that Syrian President Bashar Assad is not satisfied with the external forces, Dolgov said in an interview with RIA Novosti. The scientist participated in a round table on Syria in Athens
“Bashar Assad is not satisfied with the external forces, especially the United States, leading NATO countries, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar It is Iran’s ally -.. This is the first he resists. Israel and Israel’s strategic ally of the United States to Israel, Iran, like a red rag to a bull This is the second third -…. The US wants to lead Iraq to the government forces hostile to Iran and loyal to the United States These forces are Sunni, and there is a radical among them whole.. this complex task is solved in many ways the overthrow of Assad “- Dolgov said
According to him, plans for the overthrow of Assad is the main reason why the inflated local conflicts in the region
Assad’s support..
“I have been there and Hafez Assad, Bashar al-Assad and the people support Assad It is quite clear -.. who else supports the opposition foreign people who for 20-30 years not lived in Syria and do not? They represent anyone but themselves? Or the armed opposition, which cuts off the head and proclaimed aim of “Islamic state”? ” -. Said the expert
According to him, in the areas controlled by the rebels, it is impossible to live and the people there run
“The militants no water supply, no food, no medicine. plus terror – cut off their heads, who do not agree with the doctrine of “Islamic state” from there, run.. “-. Dolgov said
” Now 85% of Syria’s population live in areas controlled by government forces there is provided a normal . life and management support Assad is in all strata of society, “- he said
According to him, the last time he, together with a large delegation visited Syria in November 2015.
.. “We have seen massive support Assad among young people. In Syria, there are several youth organizations, which support management. When you go on to Damascus, you see a lot of roadblocks, and they are with guns young men who belong to it youth organizations. In Damascus University 130 thousand students are studying. This factor is incredible when there is a war. And we have seen a normal student life, and all these guys – the mountain of al-Assad, “- said Dolgov
The contacts with the armed opposition
It is reported that during the meeting, students were asked about. Russian contacts with the “free Syrian army”, which, according to them, shoot innocent people.
“This is a complex issue, it must be separately addressed. But it is right that there are contacts with the armed opposition, because there are many cases of transfer of entire units of the armed opposition on the side of the government army. It must also be borne in mind, “- said the expert
.” And about the resolution of the conflict – we need political negotiations need a dialogue, but now the fate of Syria is largely decided on the battlefield. And support for Russia this is one of the key values, “- said Dolgov
The settlement really
In his opinion, a military overthrow of the Assad external forces went because the other way was impossible. to do so.
“From the inside it can not be overthrown. People do not go against Assad. I always give the example – regime of Ben Ali in Tunisia and Mubarak’s regime in Egypt, supported by the West. After all, when demonstrations began in Tunisia, French Foreign Minister Michele Alliot-Marie offered to send French police to support Ben Ali against the demonstrators. President Nicolas Sarkozy later apologized for it, and then, in the end, dismissed. And, despite Western support for these regimes, they were overthrown in the last month. Because the people were against them. But Assad can not topple over five years, despite the fact that armed groups against it supports both the West and the Gulf monarchies and Turkey. Reason one – the people behind it. Neither Russia nor Iran it would not be saved if people were against him, “- said Dolgov
He said the preservation of the Syrian state is quite the real thing, as well as prospects for a Syrian settlement very important role in this is.. and the position of Russia, and the West
Among the positive factors for the debt settlement called the growth success of the government army, the suppression of radical Islamist groups, the growth of domestic problems in Turkey Among negative -.. that the next US president might be man more hard towards Russia
“But in any case, the” Islamic state. “- this is the Frankenstein, who broke out of control, and the US can not ignore it. Although they are still trying to use the LIH to overthrow Assad, despite all of these executions of Europeans and Americans. The settlement process will be long. But I think that after all Syria stand “- Dolgov said
situation Development – in the special project of RIA Novosti.” The war in Syria “& gt; & gt;
