Italy has recognized Syria’s National Coalition as the
"legitimate representative" of the Syrian people. The EU has followed
that lead declaring the newly formed political body as the only representative
of the “aspirations of the Syrian people.”
"We have recognized the coalition that brings
together the various opposition groups as legitimate representatives of the
Syrian people," Italian Prime Minister, Mario Monti told reporters in
Doha on Monday.
The Syrian National Coalition was formed on 11 November
when the country’s disparate opposition leaders met in Doha. The body replaced
Syrian National Council which had been criticized for being ineffective.
The Foreign ministers of 27 EU nations said the agreement
reached in Qatar is a major step towards the necessary unification of the
Syrian opposition.
The ministers urged the coalition to continue to respect
human rights and democracy and to work with all opposition groups and sections
of Syrian society. The statement also said that the EU was “ready” to support
coalition relations with the international community.
"I think we will invite the Coalition leaders to our
next meeting (in December) to allow them to talk to all the foreign ministers,
which will be highly symbolic," said French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius.
Last week France was the first European country to
recognize the coalition as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people
and a future democratic government. The newly formed coalition has also been
recognized by the Gulf Cooperation Council and Turkey.
Earlier this month Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron
suggested lifting the 2011 EU arms embargo against all sides in the Syrian
conflict. This would allow Western countries to help the opposition in its
fight against President Assad.
According to different estimates, the conflict that has
been unfolding in Syria since March 2011 has already claimed between 28,000 and
40,000 lives.
The European leaders heads will roll once the guillotines are dusted off and put to good use again. All of this Euro trash will be obliterated by the people, very soon.
