It's an opportunity for us to force this question of how you actually resolve the question of Syria, and the bottom line is, you cannot resolve it without including the Sunni(s) in a political solution, a political agreement ultimately, and that will mean that you're going to have to have some kind of transition, some kind of timing.

At the moment there are millions of Syrians who are displaced. There are refugee camps -- in Lebanon, in Jordan, in Turkey -- receiving 4 to 5 million Syrians. And we're not going to receive 4 to 5 million Syrians, so the problem has to be dealt with at source, these are very difficult subjects. And of course, in Syria, so long as we haven't found a political solution; so long as we haven't destroyed this terrorist group, Islamic State; so long as we haven't got rid of Bashar Assad; we will not find a solution. – French Prime Minister Manuel Valls	Found on CNN 8 years ago

They are in a conundrum: if Assad goes right away, it would help ISIS, but if he doesn't go at all, you have no hope of putting the pieces of Syria back together again. – Andrew Tabler	Found on Reuters 8 years ago

They are in a conundrum: if Assad goes right away, it would help ISIS, but if he doesn't go at all, you have no hope of putting the pieces of Syria back together again, this recent outburst of diplomacy is because everyone was becoming concerned, and rightfully so. But the results of that process were remarkably poor. They seem to cement the earlier political positions of the region when it comes to Syria. – Andrew Tabler	Found on Reuters 8 years ago
The thing we disagree on is the role of one single person, Bashar al-Assad, in this process, the Iranians take the view that for better or for worse without Assad there can not be a political process – he is the glue that holds much of Syria together. – British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond	Found on Reuters 8 years ago
