"The situation in Syria is still very complicated and unclear. A large proportion of Syrians, up to 70%, still support President Assad. What is more, he can count on the total loyalty of Alawites, Christians and Druze living in the country, who constitute about 34% of the population. For this reason, there is currently not the slightest chance of any suspension of hostilities, especially as the situation at the front is favourable for government forces. The rebels only control the country’s northern regions and they are not in a position to engage in warfare outside mountainous or urban areas.
For over two months now, there have been no indications of any serious instances of desertion from the government side. On the other hand, we have received information about battles between the rebels and the inhabitants of Aleppo. Opposition forces do not mean armed forces; they are acting as representatives of the expatriate community rather than being the real voice of Syrians. In the conflict, there are worrying stories of ever more frequent attacks on Christians and on Christian places of worship by the rebels. Unfortunately, the resolutions that have been put to the vote describe this situation in a way that is too superficial."@en1
