US doesn’t seek political solution to crisis in Syria: Vyacheslav Matuza

Interview with Vyacheslav Matuza

They (the US) don’t like real investigation; they don’t like a real solution to the crisis in Syria crisis; they are trying to achieve their egoistic political goals in the Middle East not less that’s why to reach any compromise, any political solution with such kind of approach it will be very difficult for all those who are trying to push crisis in  Syria from military content to political dialogue between Syrian political sides.”

An analyst says the United States does not wish to resolve the crisis in Syria as Washington is misusing it to pursue their own egoistic political goals in the Middle East region

The comment comes as the United Nations will launch an independent investigation into the recent use of chemical weapons in the unrest in Syria, which would be “a crime against humanity.”

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced the decision on Thursday a day after the Syrian government called for an independent inquiry into the terrorist chemical attack in Aleppo.

“I have decided to conduct a United Nations investigation into the possible use of chemical weapons in Syria,” Ban told reporters in his office, adding that “I intend for this investigation to start as soon as practically possible.”

Press TV has conducted an interview with former councilor of the Russian Embassy in Washington, Mr. Vyacheslav Matuza in Moscow to further discuss the issue. What follows is an approximate transcription of the interview.

Press TV: Sir, welcome to the program do you believe the US, France and Britain are advertently trying to delay this probe and more importantly why is the United Nations rather still lingering in this case?

Matuza: The question of who stalled the chemical attack, the use of chemical weapons in Syria by terrorist groups means that obviously it is the stance of the United States the crisis in Syria as a whole because the United States is using the crisis in Syria in political purposes not for people’s right for democracy what is proclaimed before because basically if they want democracy, if they want the rights of the people to provide rights for people to develop political developments that means they should respond positively on requirement on Syrian government to make everything easy to state.

Why they are refusing is political reasons that’s stalling regarding this question in Security Council specially it means that boycotting this issue in the United Nations that means they don’t like real investigation; they don’t like a real solution to the crisis in Syria; they are trying to achieve their egoistic political goals in the Middle East not less that’s why to reach any compromise, any political solution with such kind of approach it will be very difficult for all those who are trying to push crisis in Syria from military content to political dialogue between Syrian political sides.

I think that reflects a global approach of the United States to the developments in the Middle East in different areas, regions in the Arab World, in North Africa, in Iran, in Afghanistan, in Middle Asia.

So I think it is a mirror of political stance of the United States towards the developments in this region of the world.

Press TV: Mr. Matuza one last question before we leave you how do you perceive the fact that certain European countries have been persistently pressing for the EU to lift the arms embargo on Syria?

Matuza: Well, we are speaking about positions of different countries not only European but some Arab states, the Arab League, we found out that America is manipulating today by some Arab states, the Arab League and also they are using this very vulnerable position of some European countries like France, like Britain who are really making some declarations, supportive declarations to the American policy in the world.

I think that the main counterpart of Russia in the world is not European countries, not the Arab world but the United States of America. That is clear and that obviously answers all these questions.
