/ world today news/ Things in Syria would be difficult to resolve without Russia, former Bulgarian Prime Minister Simeon Saxe-Coburggotsky said in an interview with BNR. According to him, everyone should look for a solution to the conflict in the Middle Eastern country.
Russia is where it is and represents a very significant and important country politically and in every other respect. So now suddenly the presence is neither new nor unexpected, he said.
Regarding whether Syrian President Bashar al-Assad should be involved in finding a transitional solution for the country, Saxe-Coburggotsky said: If this question had really been asked 3-4 years ago – with Assad or without Assad, something like that, then some solution could have been found , but now after so many hundreds of thousands of victims it is already infinitely complicated and I really don’t see how it can be solved.
According to Saxe-Coburggotsky, the idea of a quota distribution of refugees in the member states of the European Union is an initial measure to deal with the refugee crisis. It’s not bad in itself, I think.
Walls and fences are not a solution to the problem. If he could on the other side, from where to act, it would be far more effective, he added.
I heard that in the EU the ratio of refugees to population is 1 in 1000. In Lebanon, about 60 percent are refugees. Until we reach such numbers, we have a long way to go and this is unlikely to happen, said Saxe-Coburggotsky.
We must show compassion to every person, he concluded.
