"Mr President, over 250 000 refugees and over 20 000 people killed – this is the drama that is playing itself out right now in Syria, with no end in sight. It is going on now, while we are debating. The conflict has, of course, resulted in the fact that we support the opposition but we must be aware that, day by day, this conflict is becoming less black and white, as there are growing numbers of people there whose objective is war, whose only aim is for the conflict to continue.
Minorities, and this includes Christian minorities, are also under threat in Syria. If the UN security resolution had not been blocked by
Russia, then perhaps we would have been much closer to resolving this conflict. However, in this Chamber, we will be speaking about the accession of Russia to the World Trade Organisation. It may be the time when we should say that a country that wishes to join the WTO should not block peace initiatives, including ones relating to Syria. We are conscious of the fact that here, in this Chamber, we are not able to resolve this situation, but our concern should, so to speak, be communicated to those who have the power to take decisions."@en1
