EP President Martin Schulz says political solution for Syria still possible

President of the European Parliament (EP), Martin Schulz, commented that in the current situation around Syria, there was still an opportunity to find a political solution to the conflict, which to satisfied all members of the UN Security Council.

According to Schulz, one of the possible means to exert pressure on the Syrian authorities is the “economic and political isolation of the regime of President Bashar al-Assad”, which can be achieved faster, if military interference is not launched.

In his words, if Russia and China back such a common initiative, the military operation will be counter-productive.
