EU Officials Urging Russia to Halt Military Intervention in Syria 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
European Union officials are urging Russia to halt its military
intervention in Syria, saying Russia threatens to undermine the
political process to end the four-and-a-half-year conflict. Speaking
Monday, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini described the
intervention as "dangerous" but said Russia has a role to play in the
conflict's resolution.

Federica Mogherini: "On the other side, I have to underline, because
I've seen that especially this morning very few of you (journalists), if
any at all, have noticed that reference, that the role that Russia can
play in, let's say, exercising a sort of pressure or involvement of the
regime in the political process itself, that is going to be a very
significant and important role that Russia can play."
