Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 June 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Syria.
Syria
I just wonder whether the carrot approach works very well with Russia. The United States of America tried to press the reset button and gained absolutely nothing, but the Russians gained a great deal of advantage. The Russians seem to be advancing an entirely cold war attitude to the situation, protecting their military interests in Tartus and saying that the biggest threat in their military doctrine is NATO. Is it not time we were a bit more robust with the Russians?
