En un foro de debates en Moscú (capital de Rusia), el jefe de Estado euroasiático afirmó que el uso de armas químicas en Siria ha sido un plan preparado. “Emplearon un proyectil antiguo de producción soviética retirado de los arsenales del Ejército sirio desde hace mucho tiempo”.
Putin se refirió al informe de los inspectores de la ONU sobre la confirmación del uso de arsenal químico en Siria el pasado 21 de agosto en las proximidades de Damasco (capital), y preguntó que porqué “no se han investigado las denuncias anteriores de ataques parecidos”.
El dignatario ruso se refirió también a la responsabilidad sobre el uso de las armas químicas, una arista clave del conflicto interno en la nación árabe: ¿quién empleó el gas venenoso en Siria? Si se consigue determinar quién cometió este crimen, "Rusia y nuestros colegas del Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU tendremos que determinar el nivel de responsabilidad de los autores de esos ataques”.
El Gobierno de Siria dio una respuesta positiva a la iniciativa de Rusia de poner las armas químicas bajo control internacional, y la misma fue bien vista por el presidente Obama, pese a que todavía insisten en la supuesta culpabilidad del gobierno sirio y el uso de armas químicas algo por lo que Washington confesó no poseer evidencia confiable.
En ese sentido, los grupos armados que buscan derrocar al gobierno sirio, apoyados y financiados por naciones de Occidente, han confesado tener este tipo de armas en su poder y haberlas usado, algo que ha sido comprobado y por lo cual la nación árabe ha entregado pruebas de los ataques con este tipo de armas.
- Tres videos se filtraron en la red social YouTube en la que se puede ver claramente como los mercenarios sirios perpetraron un ataque con armas químicas el pasado 21 de agosto en las afueras de Damasco (capital).
El presidente de Siria, Bashar Al-Assad, señaló que, según cálculos de expertos, necesitará alrededor de mil millones de dólares para proceder a la destrucción de sus armas químicas, en función de dar cumplimiento a los estatutos y reglamentos de la Convención de No Proliferación de Armas Químicas, ente al cual se adhirió recientemente por iniciativa de Rusia.
Durante una entrevista concedida a una cadena de televisión estadounidense, el Mandatario reafirmó el compromiso de Siria con todos los requisitos que implica su adhesión a la Convención y su consentimiento a la aplicación de sus contenidos en términos de no fabricación, almacenamiento, uso o distribución y destrucción de armas químicas.

- В. Путин: Запад недооценивает угрозу прихода к власти террористов в Сирии
Российский президент возмущен тем, что западные страны не знают ответа на вопрос: что делать, если власть в Сирии после их вмешательства возьмут экстремисты.
«Что вы сделаете, возьмете газетку и их отгоните от этой власти? Но это не бывает так, мы же знаем, не бывает, не получится», – сказал Владимир Путин, обращаясь к участникам международного дискуссионного клуба «Валдай».
Путин сообщил, что беседовал с лидерами других государств, и они не смогли ему сказать о планах своих дальнейших действий в случае свержения президента Сирии Башара Асада.
«Если вы не знаете, чего лупить-то без толку, не зная, чем закончится?» – добавил он.
Он убежден, что внешние силы вмешались в сирийский конфликт сразу. «Откуда там взялась террористическая группировка "Ан-Нусра"? И госдеп это признает, что там воюют подразделения "Аль-Каиды"», – отметил Путин.
«Если мы пытаемся вмешаться на стороне одной из сторон – баланса не получится, нужно найти пути соприкосновения, найти баланс, устойчивый на протяжении какого-то времени», – подчеркнул президент РФ.
Глава российского государства считает, что односторонние решения о применении военной силы сведут значение Совета Безопасности ООН к нулю. «Если в одностороннем порядке какая-то из стран, которая чувствует себя неуязвимой, станет там наносить удары, там наносить удары, сям наносить удары, порядок и само значение ООН, Совета Безопасности просто будет сведено к нулю. Это будет удар по миропорядку, а не по Сирии», – сказал президент.
При создании Совета Безопасности ООН в основу его деятельности был заложен принцип единогласного принятия решений по вопросам войны и мира, подчеркнул В. Путин, «в этом же глубочайший смысл заложен, как бы тяжело ни было, как бы ни было сложно». Поэтому возможность применения силы должна обсуждаться не в конгрессе США, а в СБ ООН.
И, кроме того, отметил российский президент, отвечая на вопрос участников форума, угрозой применения силы сирийскую проблему не решить. «Угроза применения силы и применение силы – это далеко не панацея для решения всех международных вопросов», – сказал президент, напомнив, что речь идет о применении вне рамок международного права.
У России есть все основания полагать, что применение химического оружия в Сирии было провокацией, заявил президент РФ Владимир Путин. «Ловкая, конечно, умная, но в то же время и по технике исполнения примитивная: взяли старинный снаряд советского производства, снятый с вооружения в сирийской армии уже давно. Главное, чтоб там было написано, что сделано в СССР», – сказал глава российского государства. Он призвал тщательно расследовать и другие случаи применения химического оружия в Сирии, выяснить, кто совершил это преступление, и определить в Совете Безопасности ООН степень ответственности за него.
Владимир Путин отметил, что последние шаги, предпринимаемые сирийским руководством, говорят о том, что оно готово выполнять взятые на себя обязательства по химоружию, но стопроцентной уверенности в данном вопросе нет. Российский президент подчеркнул, что в настоящее время Сирия готова действовать в соответствии с планом, который вырабатывает международное сообщество на площадке ООН.

Vladimir Putin expresses doubts over Syria's disposal of chemical weapons...
ReplyDeleteRussia president repeated suspicions that August's chemical attack was carried out by rebels and not pro-Assad forces.
Vladimir Putin has said he could not be sure that Bashar al-Assad would fulfil the US-Russian plan to identify and destroy his chemical weapons stocks, but that "all the signs" suggest the Syrian regime is serious.
"Will we be able to accomplish it all? I cannot be 100% sure about it," he said at a discussion forum with western politicians and Russia experts in the north-west of the country. "But everything we have seen so far in recent days gives us confidence that this will happen … I hope so."
The Russian president also reiterated suspicions that the 21 August chemical attack near Damascus was carried out by rebels and not by forces loyal to Assad.
***["We talk all the time about the responsibility of Assad regime if it turns out that they did it, but nobody is asking about the responsibility of the rebels if they did it," said Putin. "We have all the reasons to believe it was a clever provocation."]***
While France, Britain and the US have all said they have few doubts that Assad's forces perpetrated the crime, Russia has long claimed rebels were involved, and Putin claimed that investigations show the weapons used were too crude and outdated to belong to the regular Syrian army.
Moscow claims the Syrian authorities have handed over a dossier that points to rebel involvement in the 21 August attack to Russia's deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov, who was in Damascus on an official visit earlier this week.
Ryabkov met Syria's foreign minister, Walid Muallem, and Assad, who thanked Russia for its support and said Syria would comply with the chemical weapons plan.
Putin denied that Assad's government had been forced to acquiesce to the plan only because of the real threat of force from Washington.
"A threat of force is far from a panacea for solving international issues," Putin said. "We are talking about threats to use force outside international law. Congress is discussing whether to launch a war, but that is not where the discussions should be taking place. They should be taking place at the UN security council."
The Russian president made a sustained and emotional criticism of previous western interventions in the Middle East and said it was naive to think that countries in the region could live by western rules.
He said he had made the point simply, when he spoke with Barack Obama on the sidelines of the G20 summit in St Petersburg this month: "I looked him in the eye and said, 'Why? Why do you need this?'"
Putin said Russia's apprehension was based on seeing what had happened in Egypt and Libya, as well as Iraq.
"At the time we tried to talk to the UK prime minister about our doubts on Iraq, but they didn't listen, and look at the result," said Putin. "Every day dozens of people die. Do you understand? Every day. What's the result?"

Putin Slams West Over Vague Plans for Syria Without Assad...
ReplyDeleteVALDAI, September 19 (RIA Novosti) – Russian President Vladimir Putin sharply criticized Western powers on Thursday for their inability to sufficiently plan for the future of Syria without its president, Bashar Assad, and what to do if terrorists come to power in the country.
Speaking at a meeting of the annual Valdai Discussion Club, which includes high-level Russian officials and foreign political scientists, Putin said he had discussed such Syria issues with his Western counterparts and received only a vague and uncertain response to his questions about their future plans for the war-torn country.
“When I have discussions with my [Western] colleagues, I say: All right, in essence, you want to take their [the terrorists’] side and help them to come to power, but then what?” he said, noting that the United States and its allies had acknowledged the fact that al-Qaida-linked groups are part of the forces fighting Assad’s regime in Syria.
“What are you going to do – take a newspaper and slap them away from this power? But it’s impossible, we know it’s impossible, it just can’t be done,” Putin said, citing the failure of Western attempts to instill democracy in Iraq and Libya though military intervention.
According to a recent study by London-based defense consultancy IHS Jane’s, one-tenth of the 100,000 rebels battling the Syrian government are part of factions linked to al-Qaida. Radical Islamist factions are pushing for domination over secular rebel groups, the report said.....http://en.rian.ru/russia/20130919/183596454/Putin-Slams-West-Over-Vague-Plans-for-Syria-Without-Assad.html

Syrian fundamentalists got chemical weapons after overthrow of Gaddafi-Syrian deputy premier...
ReplyDeleteLONDON, September 20 (Itar-Tass) - Chemical weapons got into the hands of fundamentalists, fighting against the Syrian government, from Libya - after the overthrow in 2011 of the government of Muammar Gaddafi. This statement was made by Syrian Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Qadri Jamil in an interview published by The Guardian on Friday.
According to Jamil, the UN report on the chemical weapons attack near Damascus on August 21, which killed more than 1,000 people, presented on Monday, was “not thoroughly objective.” He said Russia had produced evidence showing the rockets that were identified by the UN inspectors as carrying sarin were indeed Soviet-made. But he said they had been exported from Russia to Syria in the 1970s.
“They were loaded with chemicals by Gaddafi and exported to fundamentalists in Syria after Gaddafi fell,” he said.
After the 2011 war in Libya, which led to the overthrow of the country’s authorities, the African country found itself in chaos, in terms of manageability and security, Western experts write. The new government cannot take under control the armed groups of “ex-revolutionaries” who refused to join the ranks of the police and the army or lay down their arms. Against the background of security crisis in the country, the stockpiles of chemical weapons were found in the country that during the Gaddafi rule had been hidden from the “declaration” process to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in The Hague. The UN has now more clearly expressed concern about the smuggling of arms and ammunition from Libya to Syria.

Force against Syria would be a blow to world order- Putin...
ReplyDeleteThe use of force against Syria would be a blow to world order and not to the country alone, said the Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, at a meeting with the members of the International Discussion Club "Valdai".
Putin assured that Russia "has no exclusive interest in Syria which it would seek to protect by defending the current government." "We are striving to preserve the principles of international law," - he stressed. The Russian President reminded that it was an American initiative in the statutes of the United Nations that had made the provision according to which, issues pertaining to war and peace should be accepted unanimously. He also said that if any country feels itself vulnerable, and strikes wherever it deems necessary, then international order and the very meaning of the UN Security Council and the Organization as such is reduced to zero.
