These protests quickly extended to other countries in North Africa and in the Middle East. Not long after, in January 2011, the protests in Syria emerged, swiftly evolving into a civil war. The complexity of the events forced the international community to endure a political impasse at the United Nations, as well as a major international crisis between the world’s main political powers. The European Union quickly condemned the spiral of violence in Syria. However, the political organization failed to produce an assertive and coherent external answer throughout the conflict, a failure that diminished its role within the international scene. Therefore, this study aims to critically examine the position adopted by the European Union and the Member States regarding the developments in the Syrian conflict, taking into account the geo-strategic importance of Syria in the Middle East region. The stabilization of the Syrian territory has a direct influence not only in the Middle East region, but also impacts the safety and foreign policies forged by the European Union, especially because Syria is still essential to establish the link between the European Union and the Middle East.
