"Syria is at a fork in the road"
Foreign Office Minister Alistair Burt said every effort is being made to get Syria to turn away from the path that it is taking, as violence in the country continues.
Condemning the violence in Syria the Minister for the Middle East said the UK urges Syria to 鈥渓ive up to its international obligations and stop the killing鈥�.
鈥淪yria is at a fork in the road. We鈥檙e very determined to put on pressure and you will probably see in the next few days more targeted work from the EU to isolate the regime. It鈥檚 looking at all the work that it does with Syria to isolate it.
But also there are things like targeted sanctions on individuals, financial freezes and travel bans to let Syria know that we know who is behind the crackdown. We know who鈥檚 responsible for the repression. 皇冠体育appre is a long arm in the international community now, and knowing that acts as a check and a modifier on behavior.
So it鈥檚 not just doing something in the future; it鈥檚 getting things to change now.鈥�
