Italy’s Foreign Minister, Guilio Terzi, fresh off the NATO summit in Chicago, was Tuesday’s guest on Amanpour.
And he suggested, for the first time, that NATO’s patience in Syria is finite and that a clock is ticking for the ceasefire: “I don’t know when the negotiations would be arrived at,” he said, “But over the next four or five weeks that would be possible. At least starting in that direction.”
This was an unexpected statement, as many believe the Annan Plan is now in place indefinitely, since it appears to be the only alternative.
Minister Terzi disagreed: “As Kofi Annan said in the Security Council, the plan is not open-ended. The plan must be given a certain time to work and be fully supported, and that is what we are doing. But there is also follow-up. If the Syrian regime continues in this behavior, we have to measure and follow-up.”

"If we decide we're tired," he said, "then we can lose this."
