"Mr President, Lady Ashton, we are all extremely disappointed today. We need more than findings; we need decisions on Syria. The country is still drowning in blood and the West is standing by helpless. Our inability and the inability of the Security Council to send a strict message is allowing Assad to believe that he can still win. That is our failure. Neighbouring countries, specifically Lebanon and Jordan and, primarily, Turkey, are under huge pressure from the massive influx of refugees. According to UN data, one hundred thousand Syrians abandoned their country in August alone, in quest of refuge in neighbouring Turkey. Turkey objectively cannot handle such numbers alone. The search for security and survival will bring these people to European host countries, such as Greece, Italy and, ultimately, the other EU Member States. The consequences of this exodus will be huge. Even at this eleventh hour, we must join forces and find a way of putting an immediate end to the violence and strengthening humanitarian efforts, in order to give some prospects and some hope to these people."@en1
