Obama favors Diplomatic Solution for Syria

(Washington) – Barack Obama, President of United States of America remains committed to end the violence in Syria through diplomatic efforts, despite calls from a leading Republican senator for military action against the government of President Bashar al-Assad.
Tommy Vietor, a White House spokesman said, “The President has repeatedly called for an immediate halt to the violence in Syria. Currently the administration is focused on diplomatic and political approaches rather than a military intervention. Our best chance to do that and to usher in a political transition is to continue to isolate the regime, cut off key revenue streams, and push the opposition to unite itself under a clear transition plan that makes space for Syrians of all creeds and ethnicities”.
