United Arab Emirates State Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr. Anwar Gargash called on Saturday for a “new approach” on Syria.

In a tweet, he said: “The protracted Syrian crisis needs a new approach.”

“The ugliest kind of violence” cannot go on any longer as if it were a normal part of life, he added.

He stressed the importance of the “Arab role” in ending the violence and fighting by adopting a “realistic and pragmatic” approach.

“Without this, the conflict in sisterly Syria will continue,” Gargash warned.
