"Mr President, Syria is, at this moment, experiencing a terrible period in its existence. A civil war is a war that divides communities and makes enemies of neighbours. Most of the time in a civil war, it is evil versus evil, just as it is in this case.
On the one hand, we see a dictator and his friends who are clinging onto power. On the other hand, we see Islamic fundamentalists who have no desire to establish a proper democracy, but only to further spread political Islam throughout the region.
I would like to hear from Ms Ashton what kind of contact there is with Syrian opposition groups. Is there contact with the Syrian National Council and, if so, could she elaborate on this?
What does the High Representative think of the resignation of Professor Ghalioun as chairman of the SNC? Does she share my fear that the SNC is being hijacked by the Muslim Brotherhood and can she state that she will not cooperate with the Muslim Brotherhood in any way?
We need to focus on the post-Assad period. Now is the time to tell the Syrians that if they want our help, they need to break ties with Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas. They need to embrace democracy and to denounce political Islam."@en1
