Answer to a Question
Cameron Seeks Obama’s Help in his Domestic Battle
The visit of the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, to the US on 13 May 2013 has proved once again that Britain is still a mere satellite state revolving in the US sphere. Not only did Cameron content himself during his visit with propagating the project of the “interim government” and the political solution in Syria as America wanted after she had reached an agreement with Russia, he also sought the help of the US president, Barack Obama, in solving his country’s domestic problems.
Cameron is facing huge pressures in parliament, especially from several MPs of his own party who want Britain to leave the European Union (EU) and return to the old “special relationship” with America. Cameron’s visit to Washington came one week ahead of the British parliament’s token vote on the EU. A third of the government’s MPs, about 100 Eurosceptics, are expected to defy him.
Cameron went to America to request her support against a number of MPs, including some from his own party, so that he may renegotiate Britain’s EU membership. Barack Obama obliged by saying, “David's basic point, that you probably want to see if you can fix what's broken in a very important relationship before you break it off, makes some sense to me.”
Obama realises that the ongoing struggle at Westminster over the future of Britain’s EU membership is a British domestic issue; he expressed this stance by stating that he did not wish to meddle in Britain’s home affairs. He said, "The people of the U.K. have to make decisions for themselves." Notwithstanding this statement, Obama dared sending an explicit message about Britain and its role vis-à-vis the US policy by saying, “The U.K.'s participation in the EU is an expression of its influence and its role in the world, as well as obviously a very important economic partnership.” Obama also did not hesitate in sending a message to the Eurosceptics who, unlike America, want to see Britain quit the EU. He said, “And I know that David has been very active in seeking some reforms internal to the EU. Those are tough negotiations. You've got a lot of countries involved, I recognize that. But so long as we haven't yet evaluated how successful those reforms will be, I at least would be interested in seeing whether or not those are successful before rendering a final judgment.”

The Developments in Chechenia
The military operations continue in Chechenia with extreme ferocity. However, the intensity of these operations is less than they were before the exit of the Chechen fighters from the capital Grozni. That sudden exit, occurred after the popularity of Putin had started to diminish and after certain moves inside Russia had called for the end of the war and revealed the true extent of the human losses among the Russian soldiers.

The struggle in the Caucasus
The current events in Daghestan are an extension to what America had started in Chechenia. In order to perceive the reality of the struggle, it is imperative to recognise the strategic importance of that region. The importance of the Caspian Sea region is reflected in the presence of huge oil resources. The Western media describes that region as being “The Second Gulf” and “The Gulf of the 21st Century” . Daghestan contains huge oil and gas reserves and she represents a geographical extension to the Azerbaijan oil fields. She also occupies about half of the Russian coastline on the Caspian Sea. Daghestan is also considered as a principal passageway to the Caucasian and the Caspian Sea oils, for it is through Daghestan that the main part of this oil is transported to the Russian seaport of Novorossisyk on the Black Sea and via Chechenia and the Southern Russian regions (The Southern Pipeline). The northern oil pipeline coming from Kazakhestan, carrying the oil of Tangeer and Mangyshlak fields, passes through north Daghestan and Chechenia and reaches the seaport of Novorossisyk.

The European initiatives in the Peace Process
It is known that Europe is considered a stage for events in the world and that what takes place in Europe is of interest to all countries worldwide and consequently this influences international politics and international events. Europe has wide political relations with other states of the world at various levels and in various domains, at all times; and some of Europe’s states used to be influential in international politics.
