We regularly raise this in international fora and with the governments of both Russia and Ukraine.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 22/02/2017 17:20:39 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the evidence given by the Foreign Secretary to the International Relations Committee, when Foreign Office policy towards Syria changed (1) to allow for the possibility that President Bashar al-Assad could stand in a future election in Syria, and (2) to consider the possibility of an arrangement with Russia to combat Daesh and find a way forward over the future of Syria.
tabling member printed	The Marquess of Lothian
uin	HL5151
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2017 answer text <p>The UK's long-standing position is that there can be no sustainable peace in Syria while Asad remains in power. That remains our position. Syria needs a transition to a new, inclusive, non-sectarian government to achieve the credible political settlement that will bring long-term stability. This is set out in the Geneva Communiqué and endorsed by UN Security Council 2254. Any electoral process should be supervised by the United Nations and comprise all 11 million displaced Syrians, including those who have fled to other countries.</p><p>The UK and Russia face a shared threat from terrorism in Syria and we both want to see the defeat of Daesh. We engage with Russia on wider Syria issues. When we believe that Russian actions are prolonging the suffering of the Syrian people, we will make clear our concerns.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 13/02/2017 14:40:58 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
