“the only way we can get a solution in Syria is some kind of political compromise between moderate elements of the opposition as well as the moderate elements of the government.”
“We don’t think it’s possible to bring the diverse elements of Syria together unless you have both sides come together in some way, that a victory of one side over the other is just not a realistic or desirable outcome.”
Interesting comment from Stephan Harper. He is openly talking about a post-civil war Syrian political system that includes elements of the current regime. I wonder if that includes Assad?
