LUXEMBOURG - Britain insists that Bashar Assad cannot be allowed to stay on as Syrian president, but is "flexible" about the manner and timing of his departure, British Foreign Minister Philip Hammond said on Monday.

Ahead of a regular meeting of EU foreign ministers in Luxembourg on Monday, diplomats have been working to reach a compromise between countries which want Assad to quit immediately and others ready to accept a flexible transition.

"We cannot work with Assad as a long-term solution for the future of Syria. We can be flexible on the manner of his departure. We can be flexible on the timing of his departure," Hammond said on his arrival at the meeting.
