The WTO does not become a subject of political bargaining with the load and the critical issues on the agenda, this resistance Georgia Russia's accession to the WTO. The good will of the Georgian side in this case would be the starting point for the restoration of diplomatic relations between the two countries, but Russia will not make the issue a subject of political bargaining, Medvedev said. "The chances to enter until the end of the year in the WTO are high. If the Georgian leadership is wise – it's one of those moments that could become if not a turning point, the contact point around which to start rebuilding first normal trade relations, and then, you see, and diplomatic relations, " – the president said. But if Georgia is branded entry into WTO will try to push through a change in political realities, "we certainly will not agree. And even here the WTO will not be the price that can be paid, "- said Medvedev. At the same time, the head of state, despite the high odds to complete the negotiations before the end of the year, there are a number of political obstacles. "There are political obstacles. If they at some point will work, then we may be thrown to the beginning of the negotiation period. It will be bad for everyone, including, of course, the very WTO ", – said Medvedev. "We have our Georgian colleagues are trying to push through a new edition of the political problem, namely, the checkpoints, who controls what, let's go will invite the European Union. Our position is simple: if you want to know about the movement of goods, including goods in transit through the territory of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, we are ready to provide such information, and in electronic form, the most modern way, "- said the president. "I have about this agreement with the Swiss president and yesterday talked about it with President Obama. In this sense, we are ready to go to the Swiss proposal, "- said the Russian leader. Tribunal for Saakashvili – is necessary, but not real Dmitry Medvedev would welcome the establishment of an international tribunal against the President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili at the responsibility that is borne of military aggression against South Ossetia and Abkhazia in August 2008. But believes that at present it is impossible. "If you had asked me, I would say" yes. " Just because I think it was a flagrant violation of international law. But given the fact that there can hardly be based only on the position of Russia, I think that creating such a tribunal is currently unrealistic. " The final trial, according to Medvedev, will create history, and intermediate – Georgian voters. Add a comment oval and Medvedev's recent statement by the U.S. Senate that the presence of Russian troops in Abkhazia and South Ossetia is the occupation of Georgian territory. This statement was not based on anything, said the Russian leader. "I think that the wording of the Senate on anything not based on. They reflect the taste preferences of individual older members of the Senate, which, because of subjective reasons, sympathize with those or other people. This is a foreign parliament, to me it has absolutely nothing to do. I care about their language. " The Russian leader added that "he should be ashamed" over the decrees recognizing the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia: "Otherwise, this tragedy does not stop it", – says Medvedev. However, he stressed that currently there are no legal and factual prerequisites for entry into South Ossetia to Russia: "I think that no legal prerequisites for the moment for that. It is impossible to anticipate what will be in the future, but if we talk about the current situation, no legal or factual prerequisites for this there. " It is with this issue and was due to the decrees recognizing the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Assad's time to put up with the opposition asked a question and journalists about Russia's position regarding the conflict in Syria. At the present time, we recall, Russia and China block tough resolution on the adoption of Syria in the UN Security Council, fearing that the situation would not repeat here Libyan script. Medvedev said that if Syrian President Bashar Assad will not find common language with the opposition, it is waiting for the sad fate, but Russia will have to make some decisions. "Unfortunately, there people are dying in large numbers. It causes our concern. Therefore, in a personal communion with him and in those letters that I sent to him, I'll take one idea: an urgent need to reform, to put up with the opposition, to restore civil peace and to create a modern state. If he can not do this, it is waiting for the sad fate, and eventually we too will have to make some decisions. We are watching developments closely. It changes how change and some of our targets. " "The situation is, unfortunately, there is a very dramatic way. We all – real politics – to keep track of how things are. Gaddafi at some point, he gave strict instructions as to destroy the opposition. The current Syrian president gave no such instructions, "- said the president. Asked about the difference in the positions of Russia in regard to the situation in Libya and Syria, Medvedev said: "There is no similar countries, there is no similar situations. In Libya, there is a man who ruled the country for 40 years and that at some point decided to applyforce against its own people, that was condemned by all mankind and the Russian Federation. " But the direct order of the Libyan military methods, like trying to make "some countries", according to Medvedev, is not correct. However, the Russian leader believes that persuading Gaddafi to change their policies fail. "The whole world is trying to persuade Gaddafi – and that persuaded? And do not convince, he will probably die out there in the dugout of his. "
