歐盟外長聚丹麥 應對敘國內暴行

【新唐人2012年3月10日訊】為期2天的歐盟外長非正式會議3月9日在丹麥首都哥本哈根拉開帷幕。27國外長討論了敘利亞國內日漸升級的暴力鎮壓行為，期望通過和平方式解決敘利亞問題。

歐盟外長們一致反對敘利亞政府的血腥鎮壓，並表示將推動以和平方式解決敘利亞危機，避免敘利亞陷入全面爆發的內戰。

(捷克外長施瓦岑貝格) “要麼我們決定介入武力衝突，這是誰都不願意做的，因此唯一的解決方案是召開會議，找到一個折中的方案”

之前中國和俄羅斯兩次在聯合國大會上反對製裁敘利亞。德國外長韋斯特韋勒在會議上敦促俄羅斯，在大選之後清晰的認識敘利亞形勢，改變立場，站在敘利亞人民一邊，支持聯合國的決議。

聯合國前秘書長安南計劃將在10日，作為“敘利亞危機聯合國與阿盟聯合特使”前往大馬士革與敘利亞總統阿薩德會面。歐盟表示將為安南提供一切可能的支持。

目前，敘利亞政府的暴行也受到政府內部越來越多人的反對。 3月8日，敘利亞石油部副部長胡薩米爾丁宣佈倒戈，加入反對派，成為敘利亞倒戈的首位政府高級官員。在9日，土耳其官員稱，2名敘利亞將軍，1名上校和2名警長倒戈逃入土耳其。

EU foreign ministers gathered in Copenhagen on Friday (March 9) for their regular informal meeting, the focus of which was expected to be on the ongoing violence in Syria.

"Either we decide to enter an armed conflict. As no one is willing to do this, the only solution is to have a meeting and try to find a compromise," the foreign minister of the Czech Republic, Karel Schwarzenberg told reporters as he arrived at the summit.

Syrian forces killed 21 people on Friday as they sought to quell demonstrations against President Bashar al-Assad before a peace mission by U.N.-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan, opposition activists said.

Rifts among big powers have blocked any U.N. action to resolve the crisis, with China and Russia firmly opposing any measure that might lead to Libya-style military intervention.

Russia, an old ally of Damascus and its main arms supplier, has defended Assad against critics of his bloody crackdown, twice joining China in vetoing U.N. resolutions on Syria.

Syrian security forces have killed well over 7,500 people since the anti-Assad uprising began a year ago, according to a U.N. estimate. The government said in December that "armed terrorists" had killed more than 2,000 soldiers and police.

The summit runs until Saturday (March 10) and is hosted by EU High Representative Catherine Ashton and Danish Foreign Minister Villy Sovndal.
