"Mr President, Baroness Ashton, before I say something about Syria, I would like to thank you and the members of your team, who have done such a good job on the ground, for all your efforts. We no longer know where to begin when dealing with the problems of the region.
What is going on in Syria is already a civil war. We should not be under any illusions. Children are being used and abused as human shields and house-to-house fighting is already raging. When people call for military intervention in Syria, it is important to remember that this is not the same situation as in Libya. Nothing can be achieved there with a no-fly zone. The conflict involves house-to-house and street-to-street fighting and I do not believe that any army in the world would be prepared to go in there and take this task on.
However, we must make it clear to Assad and his clan that there is no solution left for him. He cannot survive as president. He must be summoned before the International Criminal Court. We must ensure that the Syrian regime becomes increasingly isolated and the key to achieving this lies in Russia and China, but also in Qatar and Saudi Arabia. We need to increase the pressure in these areas. The international community must make its views clearer and give its support to the UN. We would like to call on you to do this and we will be happy to continue supporting you."@en1
