film shows: algerian foreign minister bouteflika at the so- called hardline summit declaring that egypt does not have the right to speak for syria or the plo in any peace talks.
lead in: during the algiers summit meeting of the so-called "hardline" states opposing egypt's peace contacts with israel, the algerian foreign minister, abdelaziz bouteflika, declared at a press conference that international imperialism is conspiring against the palestine liberation organisation, against the arab world, and also possibly against other parts of the third world.
speaking to reporters on thursday evening (feb 2) after the first day of the algiers summit, mr bouteflika said moves by "imperialists" explained the fact that the soviet union has had its influence in the middle east undermined.
the algerian foreign minister also gave a warning to president anwar sadat of egypt that he does not have the right to speak for syria or the plo in any peace talks:

commentary: bouteflika: (translated from french)
"i would especially like to underline the fact that while the egyptian president has the right to speak in the name of egypt, his standpoints are not given any legitimacy by the palestinians or by syria. proof of this is the fact that president assad and the president of the palestine liberation organisation are here at this conference, and they have taken advantage of their presence in algiers to confirm before the conference that they have never given any mandate to president sadat to speak in their names.
"i underline this for the benefit of the international community, and also for the benefit of those parties president sadat is talking with".
