FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
“But it does mean … there is an increasing commonality of analysis with
Russia. The Russians are concerned about that scenario.”
He said the UK and Russia agreed that Mr Assad did not have to be in charge in
Syria but a way forward could not be found while the violence continued.
Russia now had to use its “leverage” to ensure the Syrian regime
ended the violence, he added.
Mr Hague said he “welcomed in principle” the Russian proposal for an
international conference on Syria, but warned it must “lead to a change
and not just buy time for the regime to kill more people”. He said the
way forward was to adopt the peace plan of former United Nations
secretary-general Kofi Annan.
But he said it would be hard to see how Iran could attend the conference,
which is one of the demands of Russia, as it had already given Syria
technical support and advised the regime how to suppress protests.
The British Government has already provided £8.5 million towards helping
alleviate the “appalling” humanitarian situation, he said.
Mr Hague added: “Of course, we will keep talking to the Russians about
how we can do this. International unity, behind an actual plan of action for
transition in Syria, is, as I say, the only way to bring the killings to an
end.
“Every other solution to the Syrian crisis involves a lot more death.
“If we had international agreement insisting on the Annan plan being
implemented then there would access to the whole of Syria for monitors who
are currently being shot at by supporters of the regime, to monitor the
ceasefire, armed forces would be pulled back from populated areas in Syria,
a political process in which Syrians can decide their own future can begin
and there would be access to the whole country for aid agencies.
“What if the Annan plan fails completely because clearly time is now
running short? In the meantime we have to continue to try and find a united
position with Russia on the way forward.
“If all of that fails then of course we will be returning to the (United
Nations) Security Council for further measures, we will be asking all the
countries in the Friends of Syria to step up the isolation of the regime, we
will be greatly increasing our support for the opposition.
“But all of that would be second best to an agreed way forward.”
