answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2014 answer text <p>There is a wide range of armed groups operating in Syria with a wide range of beliefs and ideologies. We estimate there are tens of thousands of individuals fighting for the moderate opposition. We must not accept what Assad wants us to believe – that the only alternative to him is extremism and terrorists. The vast majority of Syrians want neither the tyrant nor the terrorists; they want a peaceful future, free from dictatorship. This is the vision held by the moderate opposition groups we and our partners support.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 21/10/2014 13:14:38 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
