Qatar FM Urges U.N. to 'Impose' a Syria Ceasefire
2014-05-13
[An Nahar] The U.N. Security Council should impose a ceasefire to end the bloodshed in Syria, Qatar's foreign minister said Monday, accusing the Damascus regime of using poison gas against rebel-held areas.

"It is imperative that the U.N. Security Council assume its responsibilities and force the implementation of its resolutions for a ceasefire, to protect the Syrian people from killing and displacement," Khalid al-Attiyah told participants in the Doha Forum.

He accused Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad

's government of using "poison gas, in a flagrant challenge to the international community and in violation of international laws".

Qatar is a major backer of the rebellion against Assad.

More than 150,000 people have been killed in Syria's conflict, which began in mid-March 2011 with anti-government protests.
