Tajani says Syria transition shd be political, not military

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 8 - Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said Sunday the transition of power from Bashar al-Assad to pro-Turkish Islamist rebels and others in Syria should be political and not military.
    In Syria, he said, "we hope for a peaceful handover between the regime that fell and the new reality. That there be a political and not military transition. It seems to me that at the moment things are going in this direction. It is important that the political unity of Syria remains".
    On the situation "the constant discussion with our G7 allies continues and it is not excluded that there could be an EU document, a document of 27, in the next few hours", he added.
