How should the bloc approach the current signs of openness and inclusivity of Syria’s government?

Since the fall of Syria’s ex-dictator Bashar Al-Assad, the EU has promised to support the new interim government for democratic transition and has suspended several sanctions that were targeted at the Assad regime. However, with the recent wave of revenge-killings in the country that, according to reports, claimed 1500 lives, question arises on the bloc's approach to the new government. 

In a recent resolution, MEPs also urged the new Syrian authorities to ”free themselves from their longstanding alliances with Tehran and Moscow” and revoke Russian military presence in the country. 

So how does the EU see the recent developments in Syria? Radio Schuman speaks to Euronews’s journalist Mared Jones.
