"Mr President, the violent situation in Syria, now out of control, is due to the fact that President Bashar al-Assad refuses to step down. Parliament has already previously stated that al-Assad must go
because he has completely lost credibility. Syria has done all it can to prevent the international media from operating in the country. We know, however, that more than 7 000 people have now died in the past 11 months.
The reasons for the conflict relate to power, purely and simply, because, unlike Libya, Syria has no oil. The countries of the West and the United Nations are reluctant to start to enforce peace in Syria. The role of Turkey and the Arab League is crucial in resolving the conflict.
The European Union has rightly tightened economic sanctions targeted at al-Assad’s government and inner circle. We have to use any political and diplomatic resources available to us. One possibility that should be considered is France’s proposal for a humanitarian corridor, which would protect the civilian population. We have to act robustly for the UN to achieve a sustainable solution for action in Syria."@en1
