What for to us protected Qatar?
What for to us protected Qatar?
EVER LESS on the earth remains places where the foot went
The Russian deputy. So, recently our members of parliament mastered
Spaces of Arabian peninsula. Mastered with purely Russian
Practicality: it is not known while what for, but let will be. And with
Predilection of trailblazers: trace others will go.
The delegation of the State Duma headed by its chairman Gennady
Seleznev, has visited with official visit Qatar and Lebanon. In
Delegation structure there were representatives of all deputy
Associations, except LDPR fraction. But for some reason its leader
Vladimir Zhirinovsky who has desired once to see the Russian
The soldier washing the boots in waters of Indian ocean,
It was recollected on the bank of Persian gulf. Old ideas
The domestic prophet at all did not correspond to the pacifying
To blueness of transparent waters. The sun heated to a whiteness (and it
In the winter!), desert, the dark silhouettes of women covered from top to toe
From an extraneous sight... If will arise on this background a Mirage
Image of the Russian soldier it can be only a companion
Suhov, hurrying by a peace life. And trace will flash and
The accompanying: "For power it is insulting!" But it already later.
In Qatar actually the parliament is not present, but, will be visible, fast.
The emir of Qatar sheikh Hamad ben Caliph Al Tani - the person rather
The educated. Also wish to appear before the world community
The democrat. Its special pride - the new constitution of the country,
Which will be soon accepted. However even more advanced in
The party of democracy and human rights in Qatar consider the second and, as
Speak, the main wife of the emir the Sheikh-muse. It actively supports
Participation of women in state affairs of Qatar and even has achieved on
This field of some successes. On passed in the Fur-coat, by the way, 8
March, 1999 elections on places in city Main board
Applied among other six women. However, International
The women's day has not helped anybody to win from them.
The parliament role in Qatar to some extent carries out
The advisory council. It is headed by Mohammed ben Mubarak
Al-Hulejfi. He also has invited the Russian delegation to visit the country.
Also has received from Gennady Seleznev the reciprocal invitation to arrive in
Russia the next year behind experience of parliamentary elections. The emir
Qatar has already visited Moscow just on the eve of new year, in most
Frosts. And till now it is full of impressions of cold winter and warm
Meetings, especially recollecting a meeting with President Vladimir Putin.
On the Russian deputies both in Qatar, and in Lebanon looked before
In total as on peacemakers. The emir of Qatar heads now
Islamic conference. But, in its opinion, this organisation while
It is insufficiently strong to interfere and stop the proceeding
The conflict between Israel and Palestin. In Qatar count
The help of the USA and Russia in the Middle East problem decision. But at
It would like, that the role of Russia was brighter. "The world is necessary
To Qatar, as well as everything, - emir Gennady Seleznev at a meeting has told in
The palace. - where the world, there stability and riches ".
However, riches of Qatar can be envied already. About them
Testifies not only marble magnificence of a palace of the emir, but
And quarters of new cottages restricting desert, and sparkling offices
The oil companies, and elaborate forms of up-to-date hotels, on
Which walls a distinct shade - reflexion of architecture ancient
Centuries. But the most important certificate of prosperity of Qatar - it
Citizens. Having begun once to collect in the sea the riches on
To pearl, they left on oil and gas. Nefte - and gazodollarov quite
Suffices to satisfy appetite of numerous families
Qatar sheikhs and to do much good for the people.
"To like the people at Qatar to us it would be necessary to learn, - has noticed
Gennady Seleznev, - Qatar could use what
The supreme has awarded this country, - huge natural
Riches. And the state directs these natural riches on
To raise well-being of the population. If we
Have learnt as to use our natural potential, we
Could catch up with Qatar on a standard of living and reach same
Indicator - 28 thousand dollars a year on the person. To us it
Very much and very much it would be desirable. The newborn katarets receives on the bill
At once 25 thousand dollars. To all other, consider, that citizens
Qatar do not pay for the electric power, water, do not pay, as a matter of fact
Affairs, for habitation. Do not pay taxes. Paradise simply. I represent, that
Will think in Russia when we it will tell about all: to us the such
Life. Nonparty Qatar, as a matter of fact a monarchy, has constructed
Communism... ".
On "monarchy" Qatar journalists present thus
Have a little taken offence: at us not the monarch, and the emir. However as a matter of fact
Have agreed. Not casually paradise kushchi Qatar have involved the leader
Gennady Zyuganov's Russian communists which has visited the country
Even earlier also did not hide the admiration. However how were
Fruits of the communistic embodied in Qatar are seductive
Distributive principle "all - on requirement", is in them
All the same a certain wormhole. The matter is that for nothing Supreme,
Materialised in petrodollars, all inhabitants use not
Qatar, which about 600 thousand persons, but only its citizens,
Making the fourth part living in territory of this
The countries. The others - natives of Pakistan, India, Iran, Turkey -
Are content with stable job, the stable salary, that in
The countries have no. Also try to find any ways, that
To remain in Qatar after the contract termination. To receive citizenship
Here it is extremely difficult, any special merits are necessary.
Mixed marriages are not welcomed, though, speak, happen.
The Qatar man if it is capable to contain, can have
Four wives. But the majority prefer to be limited to one.
Customs in Qatar are severe, maidens are modest and pride. And here are beautiful
Whether, you will not understand: only sverkane the eyes which sometimes have been skilfully made up,
In a narrow crack of black clothes. An open girl's face - a rarity,
Perceived as a call. On the European clothes at once you guess
The tourist or the employee of any foreign company. Police
Qatar it is extremely strict, that is why here peace and harmony.
But the emergency connected with road, happens
In Qatar. The bus which carried Duma members in the mayoralty of a city of the Fur-coat,
At first has lagged behind a prompt train, and then and absolutely
Has lost the way. Gennady Seleznev already conducted with Qatar interlocutors
Conversations on a situation in the Chechen Republic and in Afghanistan, about struggle with
The international terrorism and peripetias of local elections, in alarm
Glancing at a door and getting off from diplomatic tone: where
Deputies? And the lost the way bus all travelled about on a city, and it
Passengers tried to din into the driver a route. The driver was from
Foreign workers.
The word "Sakhalin" Qatar gazodobytchikam has appeared acquaintance and,
As it was clear on expressions of their persons, not absolutely pleasant. From those
Time as they have learnt this word, have lighted up idea to create with Russia
Something like gas GUARDIANSHIP to agree about the prices.
Interest of Qatar to us not only in it. As has told after meetings
With the Arabian colleagues deputy Rifhat Shakirov, they look narrowly
To ours toplivno-enegeticheskomu to a complex, to the trumpet
The industries, textile. Them the Russian investments interest.
However doubts overcome: the country small, start here
The serious companies, economy can warp.
And then the delegation has moved to Lebanon: here in Russian
Deputies do not look any more as at a wonder. Though and here the official
The delegation of such level has arrived from Moscow for the first time. But many
The Lebanese state officials studied in Russia, not bad know Russian.
Here there is a small colony of natives of Russia, among which and
The grandson of known artist Valentine Serova.
And at desire it is easy to find in the Lebanese parliament
Recognised lines nashenskogo. And own Zhirinovsky there
It is possible to guess, and Mitrofanova, and even SHandybina. The hall reacts on
Them it is exact, as at us. And even a subject of parliamentary discussion by ours
By deputies it is not forgotten yet: Lebaneses discussed the budget, kosterja at
It the government and demanding resignation of the prime minister. It, probably,
Would get it is even more, not be in presidium near to
The chairman of Lebanese parliament Nabihom of Berry of Gennady
Seleznev. Hospitality laws forced deputies to behave
sderzhannee.
Beirut which name Paris of the Near East, from war
Has not departed yet. Though it is actively under construction, equipped, but walls
Old houses store traces from shells. And in streets are perceptible
The armed people. They accompanied also the Russian deputies, where
They went. The delegation has carried on negotiations with
The president of Lebanon Emilem Lahudom, the prime minister of the country
Rafikom Hariri, has met representatives of business circles
Beirut, Antioch orthodox church and the Moscow patriarchy
In Lebanon.
And have finished the campaign in the most ancient city of Biblose most
Ancient from saved on the earth. Last photos for memory
- Near to Pepe, the owner of small small restaurant ashore
Mediterranean sea. Who here only was not: presidents and actors,
First Russian beauty and the skilled seaman, writers and sportsmen and
Year from a year growing old, but invariable Pepe in a sea peak-cap.
Ancient walls, old shots, traces of the last years, uniters
Different persons in the general person of mankind.
And at last the answer to a question set in the beginning of a way: what for
Deputies go on abroad instead of sitting at itself on
Ohotnom to a Number and to compose laws? What from that we will have?
Let's have here, on the bank of Persian gulf or
Mediterranean sea, one more friendly state.
