Russian political analyst: the situation in Syria is very serious

Said Alexei Malashenko, a political analyst in an interview with the channel "Russia Today" The military intervention against Syria in a difficult moment for the United States of America, which entered the stage of the presidential election.

Q - Mr. Malashenko Washington talked about that all options are open, including work outside the authority of the Security Council .. Does this mean that he could see a military strike against Syria, similar to what happened in Kosovo to avoid a Russian veto of China?

C - I think that a military strike for the Americans against the Syrian regime is a serious matter to President Obama, especially since the presidential election, waiting for him, so it is no fault of them will commit in foreign policy will be critical to the U.S. administration.It could be argued that the Americans would not risk taking it, but there are other countries willing to do so, such as France and some Arab countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and I think that Syria has a strong and important in the Middle East, compared to other countries Klibia are close to the existing conflicts in the Middle East, so I think that chaos will be deployed in neighboring countries such as Lebanon, Fbstin and other countries, of course, in the case of launching a military strike.

Q - In case of failure of the Annan plan .. What is the future situation in Syria and the region in general?

C - I do not know what will happen in case of failure of the Annan plan, but I think it failed, and do not exist at present, and the time is not in favor of the team Annan and is not enough, and I think they will have to take into account the opinion of the opposition, but the fate of this plan is unknown in the event of failure.

Q - What role can be played by Russia at this critical time to resolve the crisis peacefully Syrian?

C - Russia tried for a long time to help resolve the crisis in the Syrian regime and Syrian ally, did not abandon him, and at the same time, Russia was unable to make it flexible Bashar al-Assad to reach a compromise acceptable to everyone. And I would say half a year ago could have been talking about compromise, but the situation is getting worse now and just wonder what can be found a way out of the crisis, the Syrian, but if you think Bashar al-Assad of Syria to leave Russia, I think because he Ststqublh ally.

Q - French President and German Chancellor confirmed that they will work to change the position of Vladimir Putin of the Syrian crisis What are the chances that their success?

C - I think there is a chance to persuade Vladimir Putin to change his point of view the direction of the Syrian crisis. If not changed, then it will increase unit, but if Russia simple change of its position, the Syrian President will show the kind of flexibility and dialogue with the opposition and I think that Bashar al-Assad is the main player in resolving the crisis in his country, and at the same time, Russia's interests and Alaqlat with the West and I think that Russia's position may change, and gradually approaching the situation from the west.
