Question Time with the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy - EU’s strategy to address the current crises in the Middle East
Madam President, Madam High Representative, you mentioned Syria before and I would like to remind you that it is the obligation of the European Union to protect every religious and ethnic community in the Middle East. But unfortunately in Syria, massacres and persecution continue against ethnic and religious communities, such as Christians, Alawites and Kurds. What is the accountability of the regime in the European Union in the context of existing bilateral cooperation? How do you intend to move forward so that the Syrian regime finally complies and stops the persecution of ethnic and religious communities that include thousands of our fellow human beings in the region?
