The EU says no to normalisation with the Syrian regime for now, but its member states reportedly re-open their embassies in Damascus. Isn’t it conflicting?
The European Union hasn't altered its position on Syria as it rules out any form of normalisation with its regime, saying that diplomatic relations can resume only after substantial changes.
Except for a handful of nations that stayed with the Syrian regime through thick and thin, several governments severed diplomatic ties with it after the regime soldiers quelled the 2011 peaceful protests with a bloody crackdown, which became the main precursor of the Syrian war. But for the EU, as per its spokesperson Stano, any "diplomatic presence" of the member-states in Damascus "does not mean a change of the established EU policy of 'no reconstruction without transformation'”.
