We cannot expect results in the Middle East in three years that have not been achieved in Europe in a quarter-century. Despite the backsliding in Egypt and the intolerable violence in Syria, the region is evolving at its own pace in a complex, changing, and unstable geopolitical context.
我们无法期待中东可以在三年的时间里产生欧洲半个世纪都没有实现的结果。尽管埃及在倒退，叙利亚在发生令人无法容忍的暴力，但该地区仍然在一个复杂、变化、不稳定的地缘政治环境中以自己的节奏发展着。迈向多元主义的耐心的战略和坚定的决心是至关重要的，不管是在基辅还是在开罗。
