There was no military solution to the crisis in Syria, affirmed High Representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Vice-President of the European Commission, Federica Mogherini in Algiers, underlining convergence of views between Algeria and the EU, APS reported.
“As for Syria, it was reaffirmed during the Brussels conference organized last week that there is no military solution to the crisis in Syria,” highlighted Mogherini.
“For this issue, the European Union is very clear and very firm, there is no possibility for a military solution to the crisis,” she added.
Mogherini said the United States is a friend of the EU, adding the bloc hopes the US can agree with the EU on a political solution to the Syrian crisis.
“We (the EU) and Algeria share the same assessment and we have adopted a common position about the Syrian crisis, and in many cases the same steps. We have also engaged the same diplomatic work, which is a good demonstration of our ability to build a long term solid partnership, respecting our specificities in a mutual interest,” added Mogherini.
