"Mr President, the situation in Syria is the world’s worst humanitarian catastrophe since the Second World War. We must now establish a no-fly zone to defend Syrian civilians. Yes, Daesh in Syria is plotting against our security in Europe, but Daesh is only the secondary cancer. Assad’s forces are the primary cancer. They are responsible for 500 000 civilian deaths. Assad has largely refrained from attacking Daesh-controlled territory and also cooperated with Daesh in order to weaken the moderate opposition. Russia is responsible for thousands of deaths since its direct intervention in Syria. The cessation of hostilities a few weeks ago has now collapsed, as Assad and Russia have launched a new onslaught on Aleppo.
Iran, on the one hand, seeks external investment to support a sanction-hit economy, but on the other hand it is projecting power with harmful consequences for the region. By helping Assad it is supporting the Yazidi Government of our time.
I am ashamed that the EU Council cannot agree on a common EU way forward. Europeans want sanctions against Assad’s regime, Russia and Iran."@en1
