Syria : Ideological War is difficult peace



Syria : Ideological War is difficult peace

The U.S. Can Save Syria and Iran of Destruction
.
ASATUNEWS - Geneva Peace Talks Not Find the Light Point . Although There Irn Opinion Can Save the U.S. and Syria . But the sectarian conflict in Syria is very ideological , making it very difficult to reconcile . Moreover, Saudi Arabia continues to be moral and financial support to opposition groups Waljamaah Ahlul Sunnah , on the one hand with the Iranian Shiite Hezbollah soldiers defending desperately Hafes President Al Assad along Alawitenya group .

The civil war in Syria has yet to see a bright spot toward peace , despite now being discussed in the peace talks in Geneva .

However, there is a fresh breeze of former Iranian nuclear negotiator with the West , Hossein Mousavian . "Cooperation between Iran and the United States can help save Syria , " said Iran's former nuclear negotiator with the West , Hossein Mousavian .

In an interview with the daily La Vanguardia , Spain , published Sunday , Mousavian said , the Geneva agreement between Iran and the P5 +1 on 24 November, the second pihaklah wins .

On the one hand , for the first time since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979 , the West recognizes Iran's right to enrichment and agree easing sanctions against the country , an achievement for Tehran and improve Iran's position in the international level , said Mousavian .

On the other hand , Iran agreed to take steps to build confidence and show transparency over its nuclear program is regarded as a success for the P5 +1 , he said . He expressed the hope for a final agreement .

Asked whether Iran and the United States would be allies , Mousavian said , "It is too early to talk about it , but the tension is likely to erode . "

The veteran diplomat and former ambassador to Germany said that the mistrust between Iran and the U.S. is very deep and it takes time for them to normalize relations .

" The U.S. as a major international powers and Iran as an important regional power can play an important role to resolve the crisis in the Middle East , Central Asia , the Caucasus , Afghanistan , Iraq , and Syria . "

He was referring to the Syrian government about the reception for cooperation eradicate chemical weapons cooperate with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons , based in The Hague as an example of cooperation between Iran and the United States to help end the humanitarian crisis in Syria .

Iran and the United States managed to work together in Afghanistan in 2001 in the war against Al - Qaeda , Mousavian said , and added that they can work together once again to save Syria when Syrian ethnic conflict spread to Iraq and Lebanon , killing hundreds of innocent people .

Mousavian said direct talks between Iranian and U.S. officials as well as the eradication of chemical weapons in Syria are two achievements that he said could not be done without the cooperation of Iran -US .

He explains , much remains to be done to ease tensions between Tehran and Washington .

Actually, the hope of peace coming from the Opposition in Syria . Syrian rebels in Barzeh , north of Damascus , on Sunday , approved a local ceasefire with the regime of President Bashar al - Assad after nearly a year of fighting and shelling , activists said , as quoted by AFP .

" After intensive negotiations in recent days between the regime and the Free Syrian Army through the mediator of the environment , the following agreement has been reached : the cease-fire between the two sides , " said the statement posted by a board of local opposition .

The two sides also agreed on " the withdrawal of all troops Bashar Barzeh area , and cleaning the streets ( the bodies were abandoned ) " .

" Free Syrian Army will handle traffic control " through the district , which has been blocked since the opposition took over the area, " the statement said .

Local activist Abu Ammar told AFP over the internet that although not yet implemented the agreed clause , " the intensity of the fighting has been greatly reduced in the last three days . "

The truce also make people had fled back within two weeks and public services will operate again .

One important group in the mainstream of the opposition Syrian National Coalition on Friday confirmed that it would not attend the peace talks scheduled for later this month in Switzerland .

" After meeting with many international delegations in recent weeks ... Syrian National Council insists he saw no reason to attend the Geneva conference , " said SNC member Samir Nashar told AFP by telephone .

Nashar also estimated that the National Coalition , which still has not taken a definitive decision , the same will not appear .

Friday's announcement reiterated the SNC President George Sabra in October that the group has taken a " firm decision " to not attend the talks .

At that time , Sabra also said the SNC will resign from the National Coalition if it decides to attend .

SNC , which is one of the most important members of the opposition , has long said it will not negotiate until the regime of President Bashar al - Assad's overthrow .

After months of delay , has set January 22 for peace talks , but there are still doubts about whether the conference will continue.

The talk was originally scheduled to be held in Geneva, Switzerland, but has been moved to near Montreux .

Nashar said the decision was taken after many meetings held , including the " Friends of Syria " , the group of countries that support the opposition , said UN envoy Lakhdar Brahimi - Arab League and the Russian foreign ministry .

" The whole idea of ​​the Geneva defects . Bridging It is based because the demands of the Syrian regime and the opposition , and put them on an equal footing . We reject it , " said Nashar .

" There is no international community that offer will make us revise our previous decision . "

SNC has long argued there should be no talks without guarantees they would lead to the fall of Bashar al - Assad .

" And the message that we get is that if Assad remains or will retreat up to the Syrian people to decide . U.S. to support our request that he should fall , but the Russians did not accept this as a precondition , " said Nashar ..

Iranian lawmaker says the United States failed to garner international support for attacking Syria and called U.S. officials are well aware of the fact that such action would incorporate Israel into the ring of fire .

Vice Chairman of the Majlis Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy , Mansour Haqiqatpour on Wednesday said the U.S. could not create the necessary consensus in his own home at the option plan of attack in Syria . And according to him , the Russian proposal on Syria to put chemical weapons under international control highly profitable and an opportunity to step back on a regular basis .

" Americans realize , if they make a mistake , they will be holding the Israeli regime in the region , and will perish under fire resistance and Syrian fronts , " he explained .

Haqiqatpour further mention , the lack of domestic and international support for the U.S. attack on Syria option shows the failure of unilateralism in the world .

" The strategic alliance between Iran , China and Russia are heralds the end of the world is moving towards a unipolar and multipolar , " he added .

Previously , the Russian president , Vladimir Putin said the U.S. should reject the option of military action against Syria in order to implement the proposal states that Moscow put its chemical weapons arsenal under international supervision .

Putin proposes initiative to defuse Washington's war rhetoric against Damascus .

" It is difficult to make any country - Syria or other countries , other governments in the world - to unilaterally disarmed while being prepared for an attack against it , " Putin added .

" It is well known that Syria has chemical weapons arsenal particular and Syria have always considered as an alternative to [ fight ] the Israeli nuclear weapons , " said the Russian President

UN Secretary General Ban K - moon on Monday began sending invitations for the meeting Geneva II . Iran is not included in the first round of the state in the list, which was agreed by representatives of the U.S. and Russia with UN officials in a meeting held on December 20 .

According to Marie Harf , a woman Speaker of the State Department , Secretary of State John Kerry will conduct discussions with Russian officials in an effort to determine the role of Iran in the conference .

A car bomb exploded and killed four people in Beirut , Lebanon , on Thursday . Incidents in Lebanon closely related to the war in Syria between the regime of Bashar al - Assad with the opposition .

Lebanese President Michel Sleiman said the bombers in Beirut on Thursday ( 02/01/2014 ) , is the same with the terrorists , murder and destruction all over Lebanon .

Sleiman said in a statement calling for solidarity and dialogue among Lebanese leaders divided . He also ordered the security agencies to redouble efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice blasting .

Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said terrorists do not discriminate between targets . " They do not want stability of this country . They have a plan to drown the heinous conspiracy in the Lebanese sectarian strife , " he said .
.
Bomb attack in Beirut is the fourth after Hezbollah announced support for the regime of Bashar al - Assad in Syria in April 2013 .

The bomb exploded no more than a week after the attack in downtown Beirut that killed eight people , with Mohammad Chatah is one of the victims . Chatah is a former Finance Minister of Lebanon , known as a critic of Hezbollah and the Assad regime in Syria .

In addition to the two attacks , two other bombs exploded earlier in the Iranian Embassy . The first explosion on August 15, 2013 , killing 27 people . While another blast no casualties although the 50s people were injured .

Former Lebanese Prime Minister , Saad Hariri , said the series of explosions in Beirut this is a crime . A day earlier , on Wednesday ( 01/01/2014 ) , Lebanese Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn said soldiers had arrested the perpetrator who claims to be the Iranian embassy attacker .

Violence in Lebanon these days is the impact of horizontal conflict in Syria , neighboring countries . The split burst in Lebanon , because some people pro - Syrian regime and some others support the Syrian opposition .

Syria very sensitive issue in Lebanon , because nearly three decades Syria occupied Lebanon and the occupation ended in 2005 . Although Syria had withdrawn its forces from Lebanon but Assad still has a strong influence through its allies there .

UN Secretary General Ban Ki -moon on Friday ( 13/12/2013 ) , deplored the use of chemical weapons in Syria and demanding accountability from those responsible for the use of chemical weapons . The world has also called moral responsibility is still a matter of finding the use of chemical weapons .

" I deplore in the strongest terms for the possibility of the use of chemical weapons in Syria , as a violation of the universal values ​​of humanity , " Ban said .

" Any use of chemical weapons by anyone under any circumstances is a serious violation of the Geneva Protocol in 1925 that prohibits the use of chemical and biological weapons , as well as other relevant rules of international practice . "

In front of the UN General Assembly , Ban said the international community should also take responsibility morally to prevent re- use of chemical weapons . Also , he said , to ensure chemical weapons would never appear again as a tool of war .

Speaking in front of 193 members of the UN , Ban explained the final report of the UN special team L to chemical weapons in Syria . Report submitted to Ban on Thursday ( 12/12/2013 ) , the team concluded the chemical weapons used in five of the seven sites were investigated .

The team's mandate allows them to determine the chemical substances used in Syria , but limiting the team to identify users . Chief inspector Ake Sellstrom said at a press conference that the required methods are more extensive than the UN General Assembly adopted in order to determine the perpetrators of the attack .

" I could speculate , but I do not have the information to be submitted in court , " said Sellstrom . He also said that the UN member states can provide a higher authorization for the commencement of a new forensic investigation that will determine the responsible use of chemical weapons in Syria .

The head of the UN Disarmament Angela Kane told reporters that there are a number of requests for additional investigation , especially to determine who is responsible for the use of chemical weapons in Syria .

A commission established by the UN Human Rights Council has determined that both sides to the conflict in Syria equally heinous war crimes during the conflict Syria . Commission based in Geneva that has a secret list that contains the names of suspected war criminals from both sides .

The list referred to is stored in a locked room , with a lock held UN High Commissioner for Human Rights , Navi Pillay . It is estimated , that list will also be consideration of the bearer of responsibility for the chemical weapons attack .

Chemical Weapons Convention prohibiting the development , production , acquisition , stockpiling , retention , transfer , and use of chemical weapons , ratified by 190 countries . Israel and Myanmar signed but not yet ratified the convention . Meanwhile , Angola , North Korea , Egypt , and Sudan , have not signed or ratified the convention .

Ban also said that the Syrian conflict is already running more than 2.5 years raises profound consequences for political and economic stability of the entire Middle East region . Millions of people fled the country and became dependents of their neighboring countries , both in the Middle East and Europe in the middle of a conflict that has killed at least 100,000 people were .

UN special mission for chemical weapons in Syria to get some solid proof and evidence relevant to the use of chemical weapons in Syria .

Of the seven sites were investigated , five locations certainly been exposed to the use of chemical weapons . Here are the details .

In a report released on Thursday ( 12/12/2013 ) , stated that the mission has collected clear and convincing evidence that the large-scale chemical weapons was used against civilians , including children , in an attack on Ghouta .

" Some of the victims ( in Ghouta ) clearly diagnosed organophosphate poisoning , " the report said . " Samples of blood and urine of patients have positive results ( gas poisoning ) and traces of sarin sarin . "

Previously , the initial report was released on 16 September 2013 stating the confirmation had used chemical weapons on a large scale and the use of sarin in an attack on the settlement population in Ghouta , near Damascus , on August 21, 2013 it .

Equally strong evidence , says a report released Thursday , to get information that is credible, corroborating allegations that chemical weapons used in combat in Khan Al Origin on March 19, 2013 .

As for Jobar , inspectors collect consistent evidence about the possible use of chemical weapons against the army , although small-scale Syria . This attack occurred on August 24, 2013 .

However, the report says can not link the relationship between the victims , alleged perpetrators , and the location of the attack in Jobar .

As of Saraqueb , the mission of collecting evidence demonstrating chemical weapons used on a small scale , including civilians , on 29 April 2013 .

Similarly to Ashrafiah Sahnaya near Damascus , inspectors found evidence of small -scale use of chemical weapons in attacks targeting the army on August 25, 2013 .

However , again in Ashrafiah not enough available information to associate with the location of the incident and the victim . The sample was collected by researchers is gathering a week and a month after the initial testing declared there was no use of chemical weapons in the attack .

In contrast , for the attack on Bahhariyeh and Sheik Maqsood , on August 22, 2013 and 13 April 2013 , the UN team did not find evidence to support the use of chemical weapons . In Bahhariyeh , the report mentions no positive blood samples showed chemical poisoning .

The UN report released on Thursday ( 12/12/2013 ) local time declared chemical weapons have been used in Syria , at least at five locations for horizontal conflict in that country . The report also mentions that the children will become victims during the conflict .

" The UN mission ( for chemical weapons in Syria ) concluded chemical weapons have been used in the ongoing conflict between the parties in Syria , " the report compiled by an expert team of expert leaders Sweden , Ake Sellstrom .

Evidence of strong and consistent evidence , the report said , the basis for the conclusions he had used chemical weapons in Ghouta , Khan Al Origin , Jobar , Saraqueb , and Ashrafieh Sahnaya . However , the report said that there was no sufficient evidence of the use of chemical weapons in two other locations , Bahhariyeh and Sheik Maqsood .

However, the report - as well as other reports that ever existed - not to mention camps are held accountable for the use of chemical weapons in Syria . The reason , the mandate of the mission of the UN Security Council regarding the use of chemical weapons in Syria did not give authority to the perpetrator .

Syrian President Bashar al - Assad to admit its troops had chemical weapons and was willing to give up the deadly weapon into international supervision . However , Assad has strongly denied using the weapon to target civilians .

Allegations of use of chemical weapons and even targeting of civilians by Assad regime came from the West , the Arab , the opposition , and human rights activists . Instead , Assad ally of Russia and Iran accused the opposition who have been using the banned weapons .
