Dotting the I’S & Crossing the T’S
Bogdanov, Nasrollah, and Al-Assad : The precious gifts
Written by Nasser Kandil,
The visit of the Russian Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov to Beirut was a center of analyzes and conclusions, but the most stranger of which was, what some have revolved about the leakage of the information about his meeting with Al Sayyed Hasan Nassrollah, its content that there was a misunderstanding, because Bogdanov has informed Al Sayyad Nasrollah that there will be a solution in Syria without the President Bashar Al-Assad, and this was what the politicians and the diplomatists in Russia working on.
The stranger is to believe in this narration, any logical thinking is enough to analyze it, so how about if the information of the content of the Bogdanov’s mission was available.
It is enough to ask, how can this mission of informing Al Sayyed Nasrollah is assigning from Moscow? Since the Russians knew that the attitude of Al Sayyed Nasrollah will not be in the worst situations but in a coordination with Iran. If Iran does not share this attitude with Russia, so why the Russians have to venture in talking with Al Sayyed Nasrollah in a known in advance matter that this will be useless, and this will not reward Bogdaov but just the embarrassment, and if Tehran share the same attitude with Moscow, so why Moscow has to inform Al Sayyed Nasrollah, while the best, the easiest, and the most practical is to take Tehran this mission. Then why did not the promoters of this knowledge continue in saying that the Head of the Iranian Shura Council Ali Larijani has come for the same task, if they have said the truth?
How can the talk of the attributed allegations to Bogdanov be right, if he moves on Beirut – Damascus way, meets the President Bashar Al-Assad, and the Syrian attitudes coming out welcoming with the mission of Bogdanov, knowing that the President Al-Assad will know about if Bogdanov informed Al Sayyed Nasrollah, thus the normal reaction is not to welcome him in such a case. But it is certainly and definitely that this time the President Al-Assad was comfortable with the task of Bogdanov and his attitudes, unlike many previous times.
How can a normal mind promote a Russian bargaining assumption about Syria and its president in the phase that was not much far of the speech of the Russian President Vladimir Putin in Ankara, in which he allocated the press conference at the end of his visit to praise the popularity and the legitimacy of Al-Assad’s presidency, and to consider its recognition and consolidation the starting point for the political solutions, in a time that Moscow declared through its spokesmen President Putin and his Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov that Syria has resolved the war against it with the steadfastness and the stability of its president, army and people, and considered that there is no legitimacy in the war against terrorism if Syria is not a member in it. While there was not such a promotion at the time when Russia has said through its spokesman Bogdanov two years ago, that it did not defend about a person himself, but about an international law. Depending of this speech, some have based their promotion on a Russian readiness to negotiate upon the future of Al-Assad, as a result Moscow hastened to explain by Bogdanov that the speech was incomplete, and it cannot be interpreted the way they did. Syria was in a military situation that cannot be compared with its today’s army, and the armed opposition was not in such a pitiful condition like today, moreover the world has not repeated what Al-Assad has said in the beginning of the crisis about the role of terrorism as it does today.
Many of things, facts, and logical equations can be settled to trivialize and to ridicule what has been promoted, but decisively, it can be said that the President Putin was the one who assigned Bogdanov to take over the task of his representation in the Middle East, so he has to present him in an image that forms an opposite position of what his previous declarations have caused at the time of the Russian maneuver in front of the American attack, so he sent precious gifts to the President Al-Assad and Al Sayyed Hasan Nasrollah, very precious gifts to understand who want to understand that these gifts which are carried by Bogdanov are from his President Putin and his Minister of Foreign Affairs Lavrov.
