FRANKFURT/ODER (dpa-AFX) – ‘Märkische Oderzeitung’ on Syria
In this world we cannot only talk to flawless democrats – that is in our own interest, but also in the interest of the good cause. With regard to Syria, this means that the talks cannot only be about the German desire for more economic exchange and more deportations of refugee Syrians. Rather, the federal government must combine its willingness to talk with concrete demands for the benefit of the Syrian population: democracy, equal rights, reconciliation, protection of minorities and much more. Al-Sharaa has promised much of this. Germany should oblige him to do so./yyzz/DP/zb
