British foreign secretary William Hague has described the situation in Syria as similar to Bosnia in the 1990s, and refused to rule out the option of military intervention. Mr Hague said, Syria is on the edge of a collapse or of a sectarian civil war, and nothing can be ruled out. 

Mr. Hague urged Moscow to use its influence over Damascus to get the violence stopped. He said, he welcomed in principle, the Russian proposal for an international conference on Syria, but warned it must lead to a change and not just buy time for the regime to kill more people.
