Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 February 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Syria.

Syria

Yes, I absolutely agree. This is an important consideration for the Russian authorities and it is not in Russia's national interests to take the position it has taken. There will be a future Government in Syria who will remember what Russia has done. Its actions are causing outrage in the Arab world, which is deeply frustrated with Russia's position, as the secretary-general of the Arab League said to me earlier this afternoon, so we will certainly employ the arguments cited by my hon. Friend.
