A scientific research centre in Syria bombed by coalition air strikes on Saturday morning
SDLP Leader Colum Eastwood MLA has said that what is required is international cooperation to deliver a strategy for peace in Syria, not ill thought out airstrikes.
He said: “Airstrikes and military intervention have not and will not help to solve the ongoing issues in Syria.
“Parliament should have been recalled and consulted before the British Government pressed ahead with military action in Syria.
“Any foreign policy should be set by and consulted upon by the entire Parliament, not through a solo run by Theresa May or dictated by any US President.
“The violence and bloodshed that is happening in Syria is horrific. Any military intervention threatens to escalate the conflict even further.
“International cooperation is required to help end Assad’s brutal regime and deliver a strategy for peace in Syria.”
