Rusia perlu mengambil ‘angkah-langkah serius’
jika Amerika Syarikat memutuskan untuk menyerang Syria – Duma
MADAyuMadyan - Ketua
Jawatankuasa Duma Hal Ehwal Luar Rusia berkata perlu menimbang semula kerjasama
dengan kuasa-kuasa asing di Afghanistan dan menyediakan Iran dengan senjata
pertahanan jika pihak berkuasa Amerika Syarikat meneruskan rancangan mereka
campur tangan ketenteraan di Syria.
“Pentadbiran
Amerika Syarikat bersedia, walaupun dengan pelbagai ketetapan, untuk mengkaji
cadangan Rusia memindahkan senjata kimia Syria berpotensi di bawah kawalan
antarabangsa. Jika usaha-usaha diplomatik keputusan hasil, ini boleh menjadi
jalan keluar daripada keadaan pra- perang Syria dan seluruh DUNIA mendapati
diri mereka dalamnya sekarang, “Aleksey Pushkov memberitahu Duma Negeri pada
Rabu.
MP
Leonid Kalashnikov mencadangkan bahawa jika Amerika Syarikat bermula operasi
ketenteraan di Syria, Rusia perlu membekalkan senjata pertahanan ke Iran.
Pushkov sepenuhnya menyokong idea itu.
“Jika ‘parti
perang’ akhirnya wujud di Amerika Syarikat dan usaha musuh-musuh Syria yang
agak banyak akan menghasilkan keputusan, saya fikir ia akan menjadi benar-benar
wajar untuk mempertimbangkan langkah-langkah yang lebih serius di sebelah
Rusia, termasuk memperluaskan pertahanan bekalan senjata ke Iran dan
mempertimbangkan perubahan cara kerjasama dengan Amerika Syarikat di
Afghanistan, khususnya, syarat-syarat transit,” Pushkov diperhatikan.
Beliau
sekali lagi menegaskan bahawa langkah itu akan dibenarkan jika Amerika Syarikat
memilih untuk meninggalkan diplomasi dan pergi untuk senario tentera.
MP Vladimir
Simagin ditangani Pushkov, menyatakan bahawa keadaan semasa adalah sangat
seperti pada tahun 1933, apabila Nazi membakar Reichstag dan menyalahkan orang
lain.
“Adakah
terdapat bahaya bahawa sesetengah negara yang ke-3 seperti Lebanon, Israel dan
Iran akan diseret ke dalam konflik ,” Simagin bertanya.
Pushkov
menjawab bahawa senario tentera di Syria secara automatik bermakna penglibatan
Lebanon dan mungkin juga penglibatan Iran. Di samping itu, peristiwa-peristiwa
seperti itu boleh membawa kepada lebih sengit konflik agama dan etnik di Iraq.
Beliau
menambah bahawa bahaya perkembangan seperti itu pasti wujud.
Selain
itu, menurut Pushkov, terdapat laporan mengatakan bahawa pihak pembangkang
Syria telah menyediakan serangan kimia ke atas Israel bahawa mereka selepas itu
akan menyalahkan kepada kuasa pro-Assad.
Banyak
negara berminat untuk menggagalkan rancangan Rusia melepaskan senjata kimia
Syria kepada kawalan antarabangsa, Pushkov memberitahu dewan itu, sambil
menambah bahawa kuasa-kuasa yang berbeza telah mencipta provokasi baru dan
kemerosotan keadaan itu boleh dijangkakan.
Selepas
ucapan Pushkov ini, Negeri Duma Speaker Sergey Naryshkin mencadangkan satu
kenyataan parlimen mengenai kemerosotan keadaan di Syria dipertimbangkan.
Kenyataan
draf semasa termasuk satu lagi panggilan untuk penyelesaian konflik diplomatik,
siasatan lanjut kejadian senjata kimia digunakan di negara ini dan jadual -2
Geneva persidangan antarabangsa untuk membincangkan cara yang aman daripada krisis.
Russia should take ‘serious measures’ if US
decides
to strike Syria – Duma
The head
of the Duma Foreign Affairs Committee says Russia should reconsider its
cooperation with coalition forces in Afghanistan and provide Iran with
defensive weapons if US authorities go ahead with their plan of military
interference in Syria.
“The US
administration is ready, albeit with numerous stipulations, to study the
Russian proposal of transferring the Syrian chemical weapons potential under
international control. If these diplomatic efforts yield results, this could
become a way out of the pre-war situation that Syria and the whole world find
themselves in right now,” Aleksey Pushkov told the State Duma on Wednesday.
MP
Leonid Kalashnikov suggested that if the US starts the military operation in
Syria, Russia should supply defensive weapons to Iran. Pushkov fully supported
that idea.
“If the
‘party of war’ eventually prevails in the United States and the efforts of
Syria’s enemies that are quite numerous would yield results, I think it would
be absolutely justified to consider more serious measures on the Russian side,
including the broadening of defensive weaponry supplies to Iran and considering
changing the mode of our cooperation with the USA on Afghanistan, in
particular, the transit conditions,” Pushkov noted.
He again
emphasized that such measures would be justified if the United States chooses
to abandon diplomacy and go for the military scenario.
MP
Vladimir Simagin addressed Pushkov, noting that the current situation was very
much like the one in 1933, when the Nazis set fire to the Reichstag and put the
blame on others.
“Is
there a danger that some third countries like Lebanon, Israel and Iran would be
dragged into the conflict?” Simagin asked.
Pushkov
replied that the military scenario in Syria would automatically mean the
involvement of Lebanon and quite possibly also the involvement of Iran. In
addition, such events could lead to more intense religious and ethnic conflicts
in Iraq.
He added
that the danger of such a development surely existed.
Moreover,
according to Pushkov, there were reports saying that the Syrian opposition
forces were preparing a chemical attack on Israel that they would afterwards
blame on pro-Assad forces.
Many
countries are interested in frustrating the Russian plan of relinquishing
Syria’s chemical weapons to international control, Pushkov told the chamber,
adding that many different forces were inventing new provocations and the
aggravation of the situation could be expected.
After
Pushkov’s speech, State Duma Speaker Sergey Naryshkin suggested a parliamentary
statement on the aggravation of the situation in Syria be considered.
The
current draft statement includes another call for diplomatic settlement of the
conflict, the further investigation of the incident of chemical weapons use in
this country and scheduling the Geneva-2 international conference to discuss a
peaceful way out of the crisis.
