1. “We also have to address the financing ofjihadist organizations and their recruitment tactics, including the use of the Internet and social media. Last but not least, it is crucial for the international community to work collectively and in unity in order to arrive at the long-overdue solution to the Syrian crisis through the immediate initiation of an inclusive political process. The war needs to stop. There needs to be a grand alliance for peace, an alliance for the reconstruction of Syria. We must give back to the youth of Syria, and of the Arab world in general, their right to dream and to lead a different life. Otherwise, without that dream or prospects for a different life, they will not fight for peace and the reconstruction of Syria.”

2. “It is clear that the threat posed by ISIS continues to undermine the stability and political dynamics of Iraq and Syria, leaving the security situation in the region very volatile. But for some time it has been equally clear that, through the foreign fighters phenomenon and the migrant and refugee crisis, waves ofinstability are being felt much further afield, on a global scale. The crucial issue for the international community is therefore to implement a consistent, determined and multifaceted strategy for countering ISIS. The horrendous tactics that ISIS is using are serving to unite regional States, including many with divergent interests. That is truly a key element in our common endeavour to defeat ISIS: a determined stance on the part of all actors. However, ISIS cannot be defeated by military means alone.”

3. “I would like to start by thanking the Russian Federation for organizing this important meeting. The issues we are addressing in this debate are closely intertwined and have precipitated a migration and refugee crisis.They have driven hundreds of thousands of people from the region, creating new pressures on the societies and economies of countries neighbouring on and far beyond the region itself. Greece, which is situated at the crossroads of the refugee crisis, is also particularly concerned about the fate of the minority communities in Iraq and the region, including Christian communities, which, after two millenniums in the region, are facing an existential threat, owing to the atrocities perpetrated by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).”
